It Takes Two returned on BBC Two on Monday, where Fleur East invited an array of celebrity contestants and dancing pros to debrief on the weekend’s glitz and glamour.
Fleur was joined by Toyah Willcox, Neil Jones, Pete Wicks, Jowita Pryzstal, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola.
But it wasn’t just this year’s glitterball hopefuls starring on the show this evening (October 7) – she was joined by another familiar face.
It Takes Two fans urge Strictly spin-off to replace hosts
None other than Lauren Oakley stepped into Choreography Corner to analyse the contestant’s performances during Movie Week.
It was here that Fleur explained that dancing pro Kevin Clifton was meant to fulfil this role, but couldn’t make it.
In response to this, fans of the show flocked to social media to call for other hosts to be “binned off” and to be replaced by the wonderful Lauren.
It Takes Two fans react
One penned: “I much prefer Lauren doing choreography corner to Joanne [Clifton] tbh.” Another said: “Can Lauren do it every week? The Cliftons annoy me.”
A third added: “How good was @laurenmayoakley doing Choreography Corner? So insightful. Can we have her every week please @BBC @bbcstrictly?” A fourth chimed in: “Lauren is brilliant on Choreography Corner. I’d love to see her do it more regularly.”
“Extra Lauren, yay,” remarked another. “Can we have Lauren every week for Choreography Corner and bin off the Cliftons please,” wrote a fifth.

‘I appreciate the small things’
This year, Lauren didn’t get a partner, which left viewers extremely disappointed.
In response to being left without a celebrity partner and Strictly viewers’ consequent reactions, Lauren penned on social media: “Finding time to lay down and take in the every day. Life is usually so high speed, so I’m really appreciating the small things.”
She added: “Thank you for all your lovely words of support! I see you all. So looking forward to this season and supporting all of my wonderfully talented friends and their fantastic students.”
