As far as talent shows go, this one is ticking all the boxes for us so far.

We’re loving the ‘mirror’ concept and audience participation, and dance captains singer Cheryl, Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly’s Oti Mabuse make a great trio.

We particularly love how Oti isn’t afraid to jump out of her seat and show off her dance moves at the drop of a hat!

Company Jinks perform

And, of course, there’s the talent, introduced by our hosts Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo.

If last week’s opening programme is anything to go by, we can’t wait to see what’s in store this week.

The audience decides which of the dancers will make it through to the next round to be in with a chance of the £50,000 prize.
