Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Christmas Special Lineup

The BBC have today announced the 6 couples who will be taking part in this year’s Christmas Special. Once again we have some ghosts of Christmas past dancing for our pleasure at a time when we are full of wine and turkey. The couples dancing around the Christmas Tree are…..

  • Jeremy Vine and Karen Clifton
  • Katie Derham and Brendan Cole
  • Colin Jackson and Amy Dowden
  • Robbie Savage and Diane Buswell
  • Judy Murray and Neil Jones
  • Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev

What do you think of the festive lineup? As always you can let me know right here in the comments section or over on Facebook/Twitter using the links above.

Hopefully I will have a festive spoiler for you which no doubt will result in some newspapers labelling me a grinch out to ruin Christmas once again. I must be glutton for punishment ?

Aston Merrygold Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2017

As revealed in what is proving to be one of the most talked about Strictly Spoilers ever, in one of the biggest upsets Strictly has ever seen early favourites to lift the glitterball Aston and Janette have been eliminated after losing in the Dance Off to Mollie and AJ.

You can relive their Paso Doble from Halloween Week in the video below:

There’s already been extensive discussion on this topic here, on Facebook and on Twitter but I’ll ask the question anyway…… Did the right couple leave? Excuse me while I just go and duck for cover but you can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with this weekend’s Strictly right here in the comments section below (comments only appear on individual posts and not the home page) or on either of the social networks.

Each time you comment you earn an entry into the competition to win one of three £20 Amazon UK vouchers I have to give away each and every week.

Or you can vote in this week’s poll and tell me who of the 9 couples left you would like to see lift the glitterball next month
