But even we couldn't help watching the BBC promo for the Strictly 2018 finale through our fingers.

Strictly between us, it's painful.

"Make sure you don't get caught in the hustle and Darcey Bussell around Elstree Studios," Faye Tozer warns.

"This morning will start out American Smoothly but it's going to get Claudia as the day goes on," Stacey Dooley chimes in, but it's Kevin Clifton who really finds himself in the eye of the innuendo storm.

"Yes a Paso Snow-ble could even be on its way with a fleckerl [fleckerl, geddit?] of ice already spotted in places around the UK. But thankfully it's looking like clear skies this evening so you'll be able to see plenty of Strictly stars."

Joe Sugg has said he fancies a career in performing after his Strictly experience – let's just hope he doesn't have to deliver too many lines like "it's going to be Cha Cha Chilly so you'll need a lot more than Lycra and a spray tan to keep you warm".
