nice to see grandstand and bbc coverage before strictly ruined everything on bbc and all money given so silly celebs can dance for a glitterball terrible waste. this is the real bbc des and grandstand. bring back grandstand and axe stricly

[@StevePorter92]

I would blame sky sports, bt sport and ITV for taking sports off BBC rather than strictly come dancing

Royal Athlete was the best horse not to win the Gold Cup.. I consider him to be the best horse Jenny Pitman ever trained..
