Dr Ranj, waiting for the loo at Strictly, and tales from the studio

Talking Strictly

Dr Ranj reflects on his time in Strictly and how his only negative feedback from fans was if his dance came too late on in the show and parents need to get kids to bed. Debbie McGee and host Rachel Ward were in the studio for the weekend’s shows and reveal what it’s really like to be in the Strictly audience with only a juice and a Freddo to keep you going for more than 7 hours. Plus, alongside the rest of the Talking Strictly panel, the Telegraph’s Chrissy Amer and Jess McAree, there’s a slight educational aspect this week concerning historical and cultural differences dealing with what to do when you really need the loo. There is thankfully much critique of the dancing as well, from whether the new couples’ choice is fair, to who is edging closest towards that winning position. A trio of teenagers also share their differing opinions on the contestants, and Kim Rowell takes a look at the leaderboards over the years to see whether it can predict who will win.
