At least one Strictly Come Dancing record is set every series. Unfortunately, some of them don’t exactly inspire riotous celebrations. This year, Balvinder Sopal has broken a record nobody wanted to beat – overtaking 2015 contestant Jamelia to become the celebrity who has survived the most dance-offs in the show’s history.
While it’s a title that is probably unwelcome - Sopal didn’t look too pleased when it was brought up on spin-off show It Takes Two earlier this week - the EastEnders star has held her head high, and rightly so.
