A Crazy Two Weeks - Strictly Speaking Weeks 7 & 8 (Strictly Come Dancing 2025)

Strictly Speaking 2025 Finale

That's it... we've made it to the end of the year... Sorry this isn't a full episode of Strictly Speaking, but I just want to take the time to thank the listeners as well as give some quick thoughts on the FAB-U-LOUS final of Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Congratulations to the incredible winners Karen and Carlos, and to the amazing runners up George and Alexis and Amber and Nikita. Thank you to the cast of 2025 for making this series as "marvellous" as it was.  Also, a big thank you to the legendary Tess and Claudia, we are very grateful that you made Strictly what it is over the last decade, the ballroom will not be the same without you, but we wish you the best of luck. Again, thank you to everyone who has checked out Strictly Speaking this year, and hopefully we'll be back in 2026!

Strictly's Most Shocking Elimination - Strictly Speaking Musicals (Strictly Come Dancing 2025)

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 just a television show, and it is never okay to send hate to anyone. Even if you're upset about what happened this week, there's no need to drag others down.

Instant Dance Chaos - Strictly Speaking Week 10 (Strictly Come Dancing 2025)

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 get into their "predictions" for Musicals week.

Goodbye La Voix and Karen's 40 Robbery - Strictly Speaking Blackpool (Strictly Come Dancing 2025)

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 the competition due to injury, and we share our predictions for the upcoming dance off.

A Crazy Two Weeks - Strictly Speaking Weeks 7 & 8 (Strictly Come Dancing 2025)

They're back! After a week off, Janet and Poppy are here to discuss weeks 7 & 8 of Strictly! They talk about the dances from the last two weeks, the shocking eliminations of Harry and Vicky, La Voix's unfortunate withdrawal from Blackpool and the crazy trajectories that the other couples have had over these past two live shows. They also give their final predictions for the much anticipated Blackpool show this week and who they think will be in the final (and seeing if they match up to who they think should be in the final!).
