Strictly Come Dancing 2023 has officially begun! Join me discussing last weekend's Launch Show including changes I'd make to the format, my initial reactions to the partnerships and who caught my eye in the group dance! As well as this, I (somehow) go on yet another rant about Richie going too soon last year, get angry at celeb heights on google, sing Nikita's praises and get very excited about previous Kate Talks Strictly guest Lauren Oakley getting her first partner!

We began with 16 of the greatest Showdances in Strictly Come Dancing history, now just two remain...and only one can win! In the spirit of Strictly itself, in the final of the Showdance Showdown it is down to you as we hear listener opinions on who should win - it's a tough one!
