As the nights get darker, pumpkin spice candles fill the aisles of HomeSense and the ‘big coats’ are retrieved from the darkest corners of our wardrobes, it can only mean one thing - it’s Strictly Come Dancing season.

We’re all more than ready for it thanks to the marketing campaign that begins in August with a slow drip feed of the line-up.

And as sure as the sun is going to rise, you can bet the comments section on Instagram and Twitter feeds are going to be filled with fans remarking, “Never heard of them” or “They’re not even a celebrity.” I get it.

I’m guilty of being judgemental of a reality show’s contestant choices too, but the BBC show is catering to a large audience (around 5.6 million people watched the first weekend's show).
