Is the show actually performed live on Saturdays or is it recorded in front of a live audience and then broadcast at a later date?

They call it a "live show", but last night Tess said it was a full moon and it certainly wasn't! Full moon was over a week ago, I'm pretty sure. How is that live? Or was Tess just babbling for effect?

Prob Halloween effect

Thanks, I'd considered that possibility.

Please can someone say whether or not the show is actually shown life on Saturdays or is it just that a recording of the life show is broadcast?

The show is live. But live TV is always shown at a slight delay - maybe a minute or so - so that in case any swearing goes on they can cut or beep it. I don't know about Strictly but a lot of other live television shows are done this way.

Is Tess doing a full moon?

To music only

That's what I thought - but it didn't stop Bruno commenting on Arlene - 'the hills are alive with the sound of bull****' lol - anyone remember that
