BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans share delight as 'favourite' bit of series returns

Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left delighted as the show has brought back one of their 'favourite' things about the series. The hit BBC One show returned to screens last Friday with the much-anticipated launch show.

It was swiftly followed by the first official week of the all-sparkling dance competition on Saturday night after the launch episode was postponed due to schedule changes ahead of the Queen's funeral. Instead, the BBC showed the launch just a day before the first live show in which viewers discovered which celebrity had been paired with which professional dancer for the first time.

The first live show then saw the 15 brand new celebrities and their professional partners take to the ballroom for the first time. However, there was some good news for the stars of the show as there was no public vote, however, their first lot of judges scores would count and be carried over to week two, this Saturday, when the vote will open for the first time this series.
