Thank you and a glittery goodnight
Huge thanks for keeping me company during this curtain-raiser (not to mention my debut dance in Queen Heidi’s sparkly Manolos).
We’ll be back for the first live show, which starts at the earlier time of 6.15pm next Saturday. I hope you’ll join us here again. I’m @michaelhogan on Twitter, so do come and say hello.
In the meantime, thanks for your wit, wisdom and for being so welcoming. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Guardian glitterati. And, it almost goes without saying, keeeeeep dancing!

David Absalom says “Krishnan’s partner Lauren looks so much like Amanda Abingdon, I kept getting confused.”
But the final word goes to avenueman: “After nearly 2 hours, I want to know when I’m going to meet MY Strictly pro.” To which paperview replies: “We’re all getting one right? Heidi would have organised it. Gives Michael a hard stare.”
Oops. Didn’t spot that in the smallprint of my job description but will sort asap.
