It’s that time of year again.
A few weeks ago it was picnics and hanging the washing outside. Now kids are back at school, the nights are drawing in – and Strictly Come Dancing is back. There are 15 couples hoping to waltz their way to the glitterball trophy, with the first live show taking place on Saturday night. A former Love Islander, a cabaret singer and a YouTube star – this year’s Strictly has a packed line-up of celebs. I’ve been backstage to meet some of them, to hear just how gruelling the training has been, what they’re most looking forward to – and what they’re most terrified about.
