If there’s one thing that manages to even approach the excitement of the Strictly Come Dancing final, it’s Blackpool week.
This is the point that all of those nervous celebrities were aiming for when they first set foot on the dancefloor all of those weeks ago, and now they’ve really made it.
Ed Balls, Judge Rinder, Danny Mac, Louise Redknapp, Claudia Fragapane, Greg Rutherford and Ore Oduba are the lucky seven who’ve danced their way to the Tower Ballroom, and we can’t wait to see what they’re going to pull out of the bag.
It's Blackpool time✨🎉💃🏻 #strictly

Fans of the BBC contest are every bit as excited as the celebrities taking part that Blackpool week is finally here.
Jealous of every single person in that audience tonight. Not ashamed to say it! #sorrynotsorry #Strictly #Blackpool

All of the celebrities have done so well to make it to this point, but people still can’t quite believe that one Mr Ed Balls is lining up to perform tonight.
Can't quite believe @edballs has made it to Blackpool. So looking forward to his jive! Loving his hairdo. #Strictly

Who'd have thought @edballs would make it to Blackpool! But I think he deserves to be there as so entertaining #Strictly

However, if there’s one thing people don’t love about Blackpool, it’s all of those extra dancers. Just let us see our celebs, people.
Blackpool ballroom is so big they have to have other dancers involved to fill stage & the celebrities get lost in background #Strictly

I forgot that from Blackpool onwards they add a whole group of dancers with each act.... Why?? Takes focus away from the dance #strictly

The Blackpool eps of Strictly are always so weird and off. Extra dancers, weird acoustics... Just stay in the studio!! #Strictly
