Strictly Come Dancing returned to Blackpool's prestigious Tower Ballroom tonight (Saturday, November 19) for the first time since 2019 - and it came with the highest score of the series. The BBC One programme opened with a special dedication to the area by local people who reflected on the importance of their town’s relationship with the show.
The professional dancers and judges then burst out with a vibrant performance to You Get What You Give by New Radicals. Introducing the live show, Tess Daly said: “Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing, it has been three long years and we are finally back in the home of ballroom.”
Fleur East and Vito Coppola secured the first perfect 40 of the series after delivering an energetic routine for their couple’s choice dance. Dressed in matching silver sequined outfits the singer and radio DJ brought out her inner Destiny’s Child as they danced to a megamix by the pop group.
