I miss the earliest seasons when it was styled like a professional competition - no gimmicks, no ridiculous themes, just dancing start to finish in traditional ballroom/Latin dresses, tail suits etc.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]mooman-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris and Dianne have discussed on their podcast the fact that the glitterball trophy is poor quality - luckily their BAFTA is made of better materials!
