Strictly rehearsals: blood, sweat and tiaras

Talking Strictly

The foxtrot, waltz, jive and cha-cha-cha will all feature in week one of the Strictly live shows, so naturally the Talking Strictly panel has been scrutinising the celebs' progress during this tense rehearsal week. Join us as Jess McAree and Chrissy Amer cast their critical eyes over the short-but-telling training clips that have come out of Strictly HQ so far, and share whether Joe Sugg, Lauren Steadman, Stacey Dooley, Vick Hope, Dr Ranj Singh or Danny John-Jules look like they’ve got what it takes. 2017 finalist Debbie McGee, who's with us every week, also tells us how vital it is to trust your partner -- and what she really thinks about the video segments the couples have to film in training. Join us every Monday from now until Christmas, visit www.telegraph.co.uk/strictly for more, and drop us a line at [e-mail]
