Strictly 2016 is GO!

It's felt like a long wait, but it's finally arrived - Strictly Come Dancing 2016 is ON!

Across two nights, our couples will take to the floor for the first time, hoping to impress the beady eyes of our judges, and of course, you lot! There's no vote this week, but scores will be carried over to Week Two when the vote will open.

But that's not to say you can't support your favourites or get involved! You can join the conversation below as all the glittering action gets underway. Six couples will be dancing tonight at 9pm on BBC One, so get commenting, share your excitement with your fellow Strictly fans and, most importantly, enjoy!
