1.5 Million Ticket Applications

An astounding 1.5 million ticket applications were received for this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.

A source told the Daily Express: “The numbers have definitely swelled. It’s now being filmed at Elstree Studios. We can now take up to 700 people in the new studio, so that’s an extra 250 people to see the live show than at White City. The sound is bigger, and so is the dance floor. It’s one big shiny floor show! And let’s face it, this is the last show of its type, glamorous, and a bit of variety."

I haven't had tickets of my own since the ballot system started. Maybe this will be my year...
