Strictly Come Dancing bosses are to ditch the Covid protocols of the past two years and allow a full studio audience to return when it films in the autumn.
They also intend to remove the screens between the judges, which was a specific plea from newly permanent panelist Anton du Beke when he was confirmed in the role last week.
After ousting long-term judge Bruno Tonioli from the panel for good, Anton said he was looking forward to the removal of the screens which have kept the judges from being able to gossip together since 2020.
