Strictly Speaking - a Strictly Come Dancing review show by two people who love Strictly Come Dancing! We started this out as a YouTube show in 2022, and here we are, about to enter our fourth series! Every week, I ("Janet") and my friend ("Poppy") talk about the latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing, discussing our honest thoughts, predictions, and sometimes we just banter and reminisce about our favourite tv show.

What a week that was...

After what is arguably Strictly's most shocking elimination of all time, Janet and Poppy are here to dissect this year's musical special. They talk about Lewis and Katya's unexpected exit from the competition, the incredible potential of the four semi finalists, and they get into a debate about whether The Greatest Showman is a movie or a musical.

Also, please remember that at the end of the day, this is all...

Welcome to a very late edition of Strictly Speaking. Musical week has definitely not happened yet, so Janet and Poppy are going to talk about what is definitely the latest episode of Strictly, week 10.

They discuss Alex and Jojo's elimination and whether we think Jojo might be leaving Strictly, Balvinder's new dance off record, Karen and Amber's perfect dances and the absolute insanity of the new Instant Dance challenge. They also ...

What a rollercoaster this week has been!

This week on Strictly Speaking, we discuss all about this year's trip to the Tower Ballroom, including Karen Carney's robbery of a perfect 40, Balvinder's dream come true, the returning celeb's dance, this year's Christmas contestants and Janet's scepticism towards the new 'instant dance' twist scheduled for week 10.

We also say an emotional goodbye to La Voix, who sadly had to withdraw from...

Happy Halloween!

This week's episode of Strictly Speaking is a little different, since Janet and Poppy were not able to arrange a good time to speak to each other, so instead they recorded their thoughts on this week separately and then Janet spliced it together, but hopefully we should be back to normal next week.

This week was the first shocking elimination of the series, Jimmy and Lauren. Janet and Poppy would be lying if they s...

To say this week has been chaotic and devastating in the Strictly Come Dancing cinematic universe would be a bit of an understatement.

In this episode of Strictly Speaking, we discuss all things Week 4, including the under marking of Karen and Amber, who we think will be in the final, and the questionable comments from Shirley to La Voix.

We also discuss the breaking news of Tess and Claudia's shocking announcement that they will b...

Predicting 10s for Amber this week!

This week on Strictly Speaking, Janet and Poppy discuss one of Janet's personal Strictly favourites, Movie Week! Although Janet personally felt something was off this year, and has spent the last few days trying to figure out what was missing... or rather, who was missing...

We also discuss how George Clarke was done dirty by the producers with his Couple's Choice to Soda Pop, our predictions for...

A lot has happened in the Strictly Come Dancing universe since we last spoke!
