September 21st 2024.
It's finally here! The highly anticipated first night of couple routines on Strictly Come Dancing 2024 is upon us. We can't wait to see what the talented contestants have in store for us, and it seems like the public is just as excited. In fact, some of the stars might have a secret weapon to help them take home that coveted glitterball trophy. It's not just about dancing skills; they also need to win over the hearts of the audience.
Yes, that's right. The contestants must not only impress on Saturday nights but also stay in the minds of viewers throughout the week. They need to show that they are not only talented but also likeable and have a strong bond with their professional dance partner. This can be achieved through appearances on popular TV shows like The One Show, Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women. But these days, the couples also have the opportunity to control their own narrative through social media.
That's why we're inviting you to join Metro's Strictly community on WhatsApp. You'll be the first to get all the latest news and rumors from the dancefloor, as well as behind-the-scenes gossip about your favorite pros, judges, and celebrities. Just click on the link and join the chat. Don't forget to turn on notifications so you don't miss any updates. Keep dancing!
Of course, it's not just the Strictly stars who use social media to share updates on their lives. But as the interest in the show grows, so does the number of posts from the contestants. Take Dianne Buswell and Chris McCausland, for example. The pair, who have already captured the hearts of fans, have been sharing hilarious videos together every day for the past week. In these clips, they sit down and have a chat about their training sessions, keeping us entertained and eagerly anticipating their first performance.
In their latest post on Instagram and TikTok, Dianne shows Chris a message from her dad, Mark, who is supporting the couple from their home in Australia. Chris, who went blind at a young age, jokes that he hasn't even seen his own face in 30 years. The chemistry and humor between these two is undeniable, and fans are already declaring them the best partnership of the season.
And it's not just Dianne and Chris who are giving us a sneak peek into their lives off the dancefloor. JLS singer JB Gill and Amy Dowden have posted a funny video highlighting just how much he has to learn, while EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick has been teaching his partner Michelle Tsiakkas some dance moves. Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec have been entertaining us with their miming and pranks, while reality star Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal recently had to hold an emergency Q&A session after getting "told off" for not posting enough together.
But it's not all fun and games. The contestants also need to impress the judges with their dancing skills. Only time will tell who will take home the glitterball trophy, but one thing's for sure, the competition is fierce. So make sure to tune in tonight at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer to see who will come out on top. And don't forget to keep up with all the latest news and updates by joining our WhatsApp group. See you there!
