Another week, another celeb who has to pull out due to either Covid or injury. Whoever has the miserable job of Exec Producing this show must be tearing their hair out.
This time it was bookies favourite Joe-Warren who has had to bow out, and with Jason Donovan in the sick bay too an added element with this show is how much longer can it continue. There's only so many ad breaks or "really exciting pro dances" (that never are that exciting) they can shove in to cover the excessive 2hr slot ITV in their wisdom gave it in the first place.
Having a pre-recorded musical performance from Rita Ora, a woman not exactly in the good graces of the public after her rule breaking Birthday meal during the pandemic, probably wasn't a great idea either.
The performances that did happen were dull, the judges seemed to be working doubly hard to make it not feel like a one horse race, but this felt like a very drawn out episode.
