Strictly launched its new series earlier this month, with a special show that saw the celebrities teamed up with their dance partners.
The programme didn’t air last weekend to allow all the new couples time to perfect their first live dance.

The opening episode of the programme’s 16th series attracted an average audience of 8.1 million (40.9% share) and peaked at 8.5 million viewers, making it the most watched show of the day across all channels.

Strictly continues Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One.
