Musicals Week is here...

Strictly Come Dancing fans are in for a treat this Saturday, because it is Musicals Week - one of the highlights of the series each year.

While every episode of Strictly is packed with glitter and sparkle, there is something special about a themed week.

Halloween Week might have been cancelled this year due to the later starting date of the series, and Blackpool Week took place in London instead of at the famous Tower Ballroom, but Movie Week and Musicals Week have thankfully still been part of of the schedule.
