This will be brilliant

This is brilliant.

After all of the rumours, it seems like it might finally be happening.

Next year, it has been reported that the first same sex couple will compete in the competition.

According to the Mirror, bookmakers are already placing bets, with there being a draw for a same sex couple to be dancing on the Christmas special this year, too.

Right now, the show is gearing up for its first ever episode without judge Bruno Tonioli due to him booking “a few days off.”

The BBC confirmed: “As was always the plan, Bruno Tonioli is not on the judging panel this weekend due to a very busy work schedule.

“He will be back as normal for our Halloween special and the rest of the series,” they added.
