First week, I thought it was a cute point, but now I see that it will just get worse / more camp week after week. If they keep dancing in, I would prefer they danced in with a pro each.

And with his spins, Craig either needs to lose a bit around the middle, or get a slightly looser jacket!

What is your opinion on the judges dancing entry?

turns my stomach
Looks suspiciously like something imported over the water. I mean DWTS, not Jack Daniels.

It's awful.

They look mortified doing it too, which compounds the embarrassment.

Make it stop!

Stop it. But I think we are stuck with it for the rest of this series.

Cringemaking . Darcey looks most embarrassed to have to be part of this gimmick .

Car crash tv. These people agree to almost anything to keep getting that pay cheque.

I like BelgoLift's idea of dancing with a different pro much more. Bruno's efforts are particulary cringeworthy.

No...just, no.

Yes. What the HELL was Bruno doing last night?

Something very similar to last week!

If they are doing it live, there is potential for a disaster - fingers crossed.

Cringeworthy, American, and totally unnecessary.

Just have them sat at their desk and introduce them formally. No need for circus antics or showbiz razzle-dazzle.

But I think that we are stuck with it.

I love it! Whoever had the idea was inspired! Yes of course it's total rubbish and apart from Darcy they either don't bother (Len) or try too hard (Craig and Bruno) but...... hahahahahahahahaha. It either shows their wonderful ability to poke fun at themselves, or their outrageous conceit.

I'm glad to see Craig's hip is working well but it's a feature I could do without.

Its as annoying as Brucie's little shuffle about we had to endure for all the previous series.
Didn't like that and don't like this.

Wish I could spin like that. Probably throw my dicky hip out.
Anyway get them behind the desk and get on with it.

Just awful, please stop it. Bet the pro's are laughing their socks off.

BBC please just stop it. Next you'll have them coming up out the floor with dry ice holding hands. It's too strictlycomexfactor by far

Indeed ......... I am so hoping that Craig mis calculates his spins one week...

Opinion on judges dancing at the beginning?

Cringeworthy, just like the presenting duo...

To think we the public are paying someone at the BBC to come up with ideas like that pathetic rubbish is unbelievable imo.

Royaume Uni; nul points.

I actually couldn't watch last night. Total waste of time.

First week I thought it was dreadful but hoped it was a one off, it seems not

You mean they did it last night as well (missed the start/intro)...assumed it was a bit of one off cringe/cheese for the first night.

More to the point...where does Tess vanish to during the dancing?

Why do we see her rushing back onto the dance floor to get on her spot or on camera?

Does she move slower than an 85 year old or have a weaker bladder or something?
