Our Pros kick off the live show with a spectacular performance ✨ BBC Strictly 2023

[@margaretswan9597]

Oh my days...I am having one of my turns after all those close-ups of Nikita..🤩🤩

[@zxaddictxz]

SCD could not have pleased me more than pairing gorgeous Nadiya with JoJo and putting fabulous Katya in the center of this number (I did not expect her to look so good with Nikita, but then - she will look fabulous with anyone who can dance).

[@bennymoon]

If anyone is wondering, this version of the song is by Cinematic Pop from the album ‘Prologue’

[@imalwaysright]

Thanks!

[@traceyspeirs9241]

I love this show (and that song). What's not to like? Ps where is that location? It's beautiful, just like the show and the performers. This is one of the few good things on tv and one of the few good things I can say about the BBC. Have a good day reader.

Can someone tell me what this song is?

[@chachai444]

Everybody wants to rule the world

[@ajhawkinsspike5261]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@ronniepeterson6911]

Looking out for dancers meaning that when it was time to go on location, they were looking forward where the history rocks was this place. Name one of them in England. Opening Shoes and straps are the perfect dance first in this to the studio where BBC One saw a live show so they put on a cover song and when they sang Everybody Want To Rule The World by what artists and what remake artist, too? We asked them what was the place they dance on location and can you name the pattern on the video split circle. This week the live show made that opening. Some stars shine on the big screen. David McCallum was one of them. He co-starred with the late Robert Vaughn and with Leo G. Carroll in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and that was followed by Stephanie Powers in The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. on tv and starred Noel Harrison and Randy Kirby and he went on to starred in hit shows and guest stars on various 60s and 70s hit shows and his show N.C.I.S. which he gave his work on CBS. David McCallum died today of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital six days after he was 90 years old on his birthday. BBC and TNT honors one of not only NBC's favorite cast member and star but MGM and Warner Bros. his close friend. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and N.C.I.S. lives before a new season of action begins in syndication. Both MGM Television & Warner Bros. Television A Warner Bros. & Discovery Company owe him in his memory.

As she should

[@annegordon6725]

CRH was the weakest dancers of the Judges and he is the most critical of others. He just pranced around and there wasn't much actual dancing!

[@michaellittlejohns7968]

Everyone get the strictly come dancing judge Craig banned forever right now because he’s the rudest and the baddest person ever

[@fredh1720]

​@imherekindaIt's neither. He is clearly exaggerating for the sake of being harsh. But I'd hesitate before calling him the baddest person ever 😂

[@gerardsloan1593]

It's also important to get a reaction from fans and viewers alike. They will disagree with him and vote against him. Of course, when he gives positive feedback, we remember it. I would think if you were training to be a professional dancer, your training team would be demanding of you. Just my thoughts. Have a good day

[@Nicole-rj4xz]

‘Baddest person ever’ 😂😂😂🤣
