Jan Moir comments on the return of Strictly Come Dancing, saying the show’s 24th series starts on Saturday night with less “sparkle” than in its earlier years. In her view, the current offering does not compare favorably with the program’s past appeal, which she describes as a former highlight of the BBC.
The outlet presents her remarks in a light, opinion-driven way, using a metaphor comparing the show to a “tarnished tiara” rather than something still dazzling. The article also includes a personal observation that she sees more “stars” in her local Waitrose than on the latest series, framing the comparison as a contrast between public television glamour and everyday life. Across the limited material provided, there are no reported new events beyond the show’s scheduled return and Moir’s commentary.
Overall, both sources align on the same central points: Strictly Come Dancing is entering its 24th series, it returns on Saturday night, and Moir expresses dissatisfaction with its current spark compared with earlier seasons and her own local surroundings.
