I don't know what else to tell you about the madness that was Blackpool Week on Strictly, but I attempt to decode my thoughts in this week's episode of Strictly Speaking!

Be sure to follow me on TikTok, Instagram and Bluesky 🫶

Yes this is a mega catch up on Week 8 of Strictly, the preview of Blackpool week songs and choices as well as the first two contestants announced for the Strictly Christmas special!

We'll resume normal activity on the weekend, but follow me on TikTok and Instagram for the daily chaos 🫶

We had the introduction to a new themed week and honestly? I didn't hate it as much as BBC Week and World Week...!

Let's talk about it on my socials - TikTok and Instagram!

With expectations very low, I watched Strictly's Halloween Week and was a mix of pleasantly surprised, seriously disappointed and fully gagged.

Let's go through the whole show! As always share your thoughts with me on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter/X

We're used to Halloween Week providing lacklustre songs and theming, but it's not been as bad as this.

And in a year where Strictly want to present a front that everything is fine, we're actually more aware than ever about the production issues in this series.

Let's talk about it, and follow me on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter/X if you want to carry on the conversation.

The fifth week of Strictly literally just wrapped up, so I'm putting out my thoughts before the results show records.

I am convinced I've entered my villain era with the way two dances were robbed of the perfect 40. Let me know what you think!

Oh boy more Strictly drama, but this time it unfolded on live TV! I give my thoughts on what seems like a huge misunderstanding and why we should just leave it as it is...

The Week 5 song choices are also quite wild too!

We finally got 10s on this week's episode of Strictly and a lot of the contestants put on their best performances yet. But we do need to talk about the audacity of some things too...

Follow me on socials @ShirleighShirlz on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter (I refuse to call it X).

From a Minion pro routine to Pete Wicks gyrating in front of Craig, this year's Movie Week really had it ALL. It's hard to encapsulate the chaos of the episode but I've tried anyway...

We FINALLY have an outcome on the Amanda/Giovanni situation and I delve into my thoughts the best I can. This topic is sensitive, so please listen with care.

And then we've got to talk about some of the most iconic song choices in Strictly Movie Week history because I am very hyped for this weekend!

As always, follow me @ShirleighShirlz on TikTok, Instagram and/or Twitter. Or all three if you like chaos.
