Boy, it’s good to be back beneath the glitterball with you all. Let’s reconvene right here for some proper dancing in the first live show, which starts at 6.55pm next Saturday. In the meantime, I’m @michaelhogan on “X” and @michaelhogan100 pretty much everywhere else, so do come and say hello.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Guardian glitterati. And of course, keeeeeep dancing! Goodnight. Secretpuddlejumper says: “Katya must be thrilled with Lewis and high hopes for Alex. I think Vicki will do well, she is a grafter and likeable. Ross can worry less, he should be good till week 3.”
