Unless youve been hiding under a rock of late you might just have noticed that Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens.
Yup, the 2019 live shows kicked off on Saturday night, with all 15 of this years couples taking to the floor for the first time – delivering routines which left the judges dazzled and despairing in equal measures.
