Strictly Come Dancing
It certainly was a dazzling dancefloor debut.
The singer tested positive for coronavirus earlier this month.
And what would a weekly round-up of joy be without an appearance from Gemma Collins?
Strictly Come Dancing is finally back to bring some sparkle into our lives, but it wasn’t the only thing that brought us joy this week. There was an exciting RuPaul’s Drag Race UK announcement and Gemma Collins was up to her usual (ridiculous) tricks. Elsewhere in this week’s GVO, there’s also a chance for you to own the Big Breakfast house (if you have a spare £5.7m), and find out why BBC iPlayer’s Love Life is the perfect show to binge right now.
The celebrities will be taking to the floor for the first proper time as the live shows kick off on Saturday.
The Good Morning Britain presenter said she'd already "had a few moments" with partner Giovanni Pernice.
The head judge has some thoughts after seeing the contestants take to the floor during the launch show's group dance.
Socially distanced hosts, judges and audience… and a lot of masks.
"I was always getting into trouble with my dad," the Olympic boxer recalled. "Sometimes, I felt I was getting hit for no reason."
"We saw how she transformed into that beautiful dancer," her partner Pasha Kovalev recalled. "A dancer with a big heart on her sleeve."
About Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing' is a celebrity-pro ballroom dance competition, which launched on BBC One in 2004. It's inspired by former BBC show 'Come Dancing', and shares its name with 1992 film 'Strictly Ballroom'. Being one of the most popular shows on TV, it goes head-to-head with ITV's 'The X Factor' from September to December every year on Saturday and Sunday nights. It was originally hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly, but Claudia Winkleman has taken over from the veteran entertainer since he stepped down in 2014. The current judges are Craig Revel-Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Shirley Ballas, who has replaced Len Goodman as Head Judge. Alesha Dixon and Arlene Phillips have both previously sat on the panel. The show is now its 15th series, with the 2017 line-up made up of Alexandra Burke, Aston Merrygold, Brian Conley, Charlotte Hawkins, Chizzy Akudolu, Davood Ghadami, Debbie McGee, Gemma Atkinson, Joe McFadden, Jonnie Peacock, Mollie King, Richard Coles, Ruth Langsford, Simon Rimmer and Susan Calman. Last year's competition won by BBC sports presenter Ore Oduba and his partner Joanne Clifton, who followed in the footsteps of previous winners like Jay McGuiness, Caroline Flack, Louis Smith, Alesha Dixon, Harry Judd and Abbey Clancy. The 2017 series saw the departure of professional dancers Natalie Lowe, Joanne Clifton and Oksana Platero who all quit the show. Among the current line-up are Brendan Cole, Anton DuBeke, Kevin and Karen Clifton and Pasha Kovalev and Oti Mabuse.
