Spend An Evening With Kevin & Joanne Clifton?! (It's Strictly Season!)

It’s September, and the Strictly Come Dancing hype has already begun! Strictly is upon us and it’s all very exciting! News has begun to reach us of who will be involved. This year is very special, as it’ll have to operate in markedly different way from previous years due to the pandemic. But the show will also be a much-needed distraction from what has so far been a very difficult year. In this week’s show, Kevin talks about what is likely to be going on behind the scenes right now, the latest news on line-ups, the excitement and nerves around Strictly season, and why it’s assuredly the nation's favourite entertainment show. Plus, there's news of a very exciting series of live shows from Kevin and his sister, Joanne! KEY TAKEAWAYS This year’s Strictly will be a very different, but no less enjoyable experience for Kevin, as he prepares to enjoy the show as a fan, instead of a participant. Kevin’s perspective on the show is therefore unique. Strictly has taken the opportunity to become progressive this year, by featuring its first same-sex couple. Boxer Nicola Adams will be partnered with a female professional. It’s a brave leap forward for the show that is being widely applauded. The initial meeting between dancer and pro is a crucial one. It not only allows both to see skill levels, but also personality. Getting on with each other is just as important as being skilful. Dancing is an art. It’s hard to judge it in the same way as someone would judge a sport, but it is completely subjective. It’s difficult to separate the skill on show from the competitors themselves, and the allure they bring.
