It could have been but obviously wasn't because the pro ladies were still in their pro dance costumes and hadn't changed to their ballroom outfits.

“If they have a musical guest, that too could be pre-recorded - this happened last year a few times, with the musical performance and dance being recorded on Saturday afternoon a few hours before the live show, but not shown until Sunday as part of the results show.”
That did often happen. Often because, I think, the music guest couldn't be arsed to wait around until later to do their bit!

“Regarding the actual competition dances, judge's comments and scores, talk with Tess, results, and dance-off, I would imagine that's all live, at most subject to a slight delay (between 10 and 20 seconds) in order to filter any accidental bad language.”
It hasn't been in the past but they might be thinking about doing it what with Bruno's tendency to forget himself ('The hills are alive with the sound of bullshit'
