Strictly has no same-sex couples this year – the loss to choreography alone is massive

When Strictly foxtrotted onto our screens 20 years ago, the idea of same-sex pairings was frowned upon.

I’m unimpressed because, for the first time in four years, the show is without any same-sex pairings – and we’re totally missing out.

Their partnership, like other same-sex couplings who came before, completely pushed the boundaries of what we know as traditional ballroom choreography.
