First ever Icons Week incoming
Thanks for watching along with me, televisual trick-or-treaters. The right result, I think, but still bittersweet.
Our 10 pairings now pass the contest’s midway mark and move on to the seventh live show - a brand-new themed week celebrating “music icons across the decades”. The mind boggles. It airs next Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC1. Meet you back here to analyse all the sequin-spangled action and quibble about overuse of the word “icon”.
In the meantime, please jot it on a sticky notelet and attach it to your fridge door: keeeeeeep dancing! Goodnight, gang.
On Amy Dowden’s absence, giroliddy says: “Poor JB looked so lonely on his own. Thank goodness he’s through.”
ReclinedPotato says of the group dance: “Carlos is going to give me nightmares, turning from Claude into Beetlejuice!”
jagadox says of the night’s musical guest: “I’m not always charmed by the Sunday ‘turn’ but Lady Blackbird is banging.”
AlanStatham adds: “Wait, what? Icons week? Bruno Mars? Icon threshold sets a new low bar.”
