About this episode

With Chris McCausland winning Strictly Come Dancing and the Xmas special being especially feel-good, has Strictly saved itself as the raft of upheld complaints and accusations that preceded the most recent series? Richard lets us know if it’s possible to appear on several quiz shows and what producers are looking for in contestants. Plus, was 2024 ‘the rise of celebrity surgery’ and will certain trends carry on into 2025?
