Will Anton go burlesque in 2018?

The UK’s leading unofficial Strictly Come Dancing podcast springs into action today with a special preview episode looking forward to Saturday’s launch show. On the menu: our star panelist, Debbie McGee, tells host Rachel Ward the story of exactly how producers selected her for the show - and reveals her Saturday night routine now that she’s free to watch Strictly on telly (spoiler alert: it involves mirrorball accessories). It'll be the first of many McGee revelations, as Debbie will be joining us every week. Elsewhere in the episode, Strictly specialists Jess McAree and Chrissy Amer are on hand with their thoughts on the overall celebrity lineup, we’ve some eagle-eyed predictions of the celeb-dancer pairings from Michel Hogan -- and an appearance from Britain’s youngest Strictly podcast correspondent, Immy. And did someone mention burlesque week? ----- Join the party every Monday, from now until Christmas. And visit www.telegraph.co.uk/strictly-come-dancing for more.
