#strictly That was the best theme week for years! Back to films we’ve heard of, great song choices (except Grease for a samba), amazing costumes, fab pro dance and proper dances even though it’s a theme week. @jojo_radebe was fabulous - much more natural and confident! Loved it!

WATCH: Artemis II pilot Victor Glover hugs Fox News host’s baby with Down syndrome, Valentina—humanizing children like her. 80% of babies with the condition are aborted in the US This child, with an extra chromosome, is valuable and worthy of life.

Really sad to see Jimmy and Lauren go - for me he is what the show is about. #Strictly was intended to be a show where celebs that couldn’t dance, learned to dance. So for me, we should be keeping in those who are making progress, showing improvement. It’s not the best dancer 1/2

2/2 it’s those who you can see getting better. So I would keep in Ellie, Jimmy, La Voix, Bal, Vicky - I can’t wait to see how far they can improve by the end of the series. Amber and Lewis aren’t Making such big improvements because they can already dance so they can go.

Anyone on here bought a tshirt from #HamiltontheMusical tour & had this happen on the 1st wash, despite following washing instructions? Got a very disappointed teenage fan who paid for this (at merch prices!!) herself and I’m wondering what my chances are of getting it replaced?

WCAT Ambassador Pippa was delighted to get a hole in one during a recent game of crazy golf. Well done Pippa! ⛳️ #WCATAmbassador #DownSyndrome #WouldntChangeAThing

Hi @SportsDirectUK I ordered some trainers for my son’s birthday 10 days ago and the money left my account immediately. My order still hasn’t been processed. Impossible to get though to your live chat. Please can you advise what is happening? No communication from you at all.

Pippa absolutely loves the @sixthemusical soundtrack although has never yet seen the show as we keep missing out on getting tickets!! But she had great fun with all the interactive activities at The Queens exhibition at @thelowry today!! She’s an absolute Queen!!

WCAT Ambassador Pippa recently attended her prom night at college and she had a wonderful time dancing the night away. She was pretty much the first one on the dance floor after dinner and the last to leave at the end! #Prom #EndOfTerm #DownSyndrome #WouldntChangeAThing

Absolutely love this!
Congratulations @AngelaRayner on your appointment as Deputy Prime Minister. It's always great to see public figures role-modelling inclusion, and we've loved seeing Angela's posts sharing her sign language skills. Here's a throwback to her Sign Language Week post this year. ⬇️

Having turned 18 earlier this year, Pippa voted for the first time today! Everyone at the polling station was very welcoming and helpful and she enjoyed doing it, taking great care to make a nice, neat cross! #MyVoteMyVoice @DSAInfo @Wouldntchangea1 @UpsandDownsSW

Very impressed with Dougal G in 9E, who has won a Promising Young Performer award from the Somerset Fellowship of Drama. This was for his role as the boy babe in Wellington’s Robin Hood and also the Babes in the Wood panto earlier this year.

I’m trying to book a room for our family of 5 to enjoy a few days away together. For 5, interconnected rooms are needed. Apparently at @HolidayInn you can’t book them, you can only request them. They want me to pay £660 without me knowing if I am getting what I need!

So @HolidayInn , I wouldn’t buy a £30 jumper online unless I knew the design and size that the store would send me, why would I pay £660 without knowing what I am getting? Absolutely absurd system! Why can’t I just book them and you tell me My room nos on booking?

Very lucky to have met @joanneclifton last summer & @keviclifton last night, at stage door @BristolHipp! Both were so lovely and took time to meet everyone. Is there a bonus for collecting the set of Clifton’s, a bit like getting Mayfair and Park Lane in Monopoly???!! 😉😉
