BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Montell Douglas declares 'we're getting married' in surprise announcement

Strictly Come Dancing's Montell Douglas had the studio chuckling when she quipped that she's set to wed her professional partner, as the team geared up for their debut performance on the dance floor.

This year's Strictly has officially started for 2024 following a scintillating launch show. The first week is all about introductions, where the celebrity contestants and their pro partners take to the stage for their opening bid to score points and impress on the leaderboard with their dances.

Although the judges will be dishing out their critiques and the stars will receive scores, there won't be any heartbreaking goodbyes just yet no eliminations are scheduled for week one. However, come week two, the pressure mounts, as one celeb will find themselves waltzing off the stage permanently.

Montell, also known as the formidable Gladiator Fire, is teamed with Johannes Radebe. For their first dance routine, they performed a graceful Foxtrot to 'Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby' by Dinah Washington, kicking off their quest to lift the glitterball trophy.

But before they dazzled with their dancing, host Claudia Winkleman couldn't help but note how glamorous the "Mojo" pair looked.

As Montell, from Lewisham, stunned in an exquisite lace and sheer dress and Johannes was the epitome of style in his white shirt, cream waistcoat, paired with pin-stripped trousers, it was a perfect moment for Montell to jest, "Well, we are getting married," prompting laughter from the Strictly family, with Claudia adding, "You're all invited."

Fans will get their chance to vote starting week two on Saturday, with the season's inaugural elimination round broadcast the following night, reports the Mirror.

The excitement tonight will commence at 7pm on BBC One, but there won't be a results show this weekend.

Currently leading the betting odds are X Factor victor Shayne Ward and JLS celebrity JB Gill though former professional dancer Erin Boag has cautioned that Miranda star Sarah Hadland is also a contender to keep an eye on.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
