The highly anticipated return of the popular TV show, Strictly Come Dancing, took place on Saturday night after a period of controversies and excitement. The BBC dance competition seemed all set with 15 new celebrities joining the lineup.
However, the addition of the Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, known for his controversial nature, stirred up some negative attention. Thomas made headlines for storming out of a press event and later confessing to infidelity shortly after marrying his wife, Sinead.
Amy Dowden, a beloved professional dancer, was revealed as Thomas’s dance partner on the show. Many viewers expressed concerns about this pairing due to Thomas’s recent scandals overshadowing Amy’s comeback post her cancer treatment and foot injury.
Former Strictly pro Vincent Simone shared his surprise at the unlikely pairing, highlighting the contrast in their personalities. Despite initial skepticism, Vincent believed that the duo could create a fun and successful partnership on the dance floor.
The new season’s stars showcased their dancing skills for the first time on Saturday, with Vincent noting the strong camaraderie among the contestants. He particularly praised Alex Kingston and La Voix, expressing high hopes for their performances.
Dianne Buswell, a professional dancer, is making history by participating in the show while pregnant. Vincent predicted that her dances with partner Stefan Dennis would focus more on elegance rather than acrobatics, considering her pregnancy.
Looking ahead, Vincent expressed optimism about the continued success of Strictly Come Dancing, predicting its longevity for at least another decade.
