Strictly Come Dancing 2020: Top moments from last night's show

Nicola Adams and Katya Adams are in second spot on the leader board

It's the weekend which can mean only one thing...

Grab your glitter, sequins, and dancing shoes, because it's Strictly season!

Last night was the second live show, which saw 12 celebrities strut their stuff in a bid to impress the judges and earn a place next week.

So, what went down? We've got it covered.

A late start

Fans took to social media to raise their concerns that Strictly might be late. We imagine them calling in unison for the show to start - doing their best impression of JJ Chalmers, pictured here

The show started a few minutes late on Saturday night due to prime minister Boris Johnson's lockdown announcement which was being shown on BBC One.

As the start of Strictly approached at 7.10pm, Mr Johnson's press conference moved to the BBC News channel so viewers could get their dancing fix!

Fans had earlier voiced their concerns on social media that Strictly would not start on time.

Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker said on Twitter: "If this runs any later Boris Johnson could be in a Strictly dance-off."

Comedian David Baddiel added: "If this announcement holds up Strictly we may finally have a revolution."

HRVY and his professional dance partner Janette Manrara are in joint-first position
