Over the weekend, the beloved BBC dance show made its annual trip to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom - a highlight of every Strictly series and a venue steeped in ballroom history.
Strictly, normally filmed at Elstree Studios in London, first visited Blackpool in 2004 and 2005, before the tradition was cemented in 2009.
Since then, Blackpool Week has become one of the most anticipated episodes of the season.
