For the first time in Strictly history, all the contestants will get their closeup in movie week. It’s also the first elimination of the series, with the result being announced on Sunday at 7.10pm. Before then, the dancers take us into the worlds of Beauty and the Beast, A Star Is Born, Pretty Woman and … Baywatch!
Will John and Katya remain at the top of the scoreboard? Or is it another couple’s time to shine? Hollie Richardson It’s audience v contestant in another round of John Bishop’s upbeat new quizshow.
HR This profile of our monarchical overlords’ tastefully modest abode through the seasons reaches spring.
