JOIN SUN BINGO NOW AND YOU’LL RECEIVE A £50 BINGO BONUS AND 50 FREE SPINS*
It’s been a year since Ellie Leach lifted the Glitterball Trophy with her dance partner, Vito Coppola.
On Saturday 14th September, 15 new hopefuls stepped onto the dance floor.
However, each week we say goodbye to another dancing celeb.
From TV stars to GPs, Olympians to comedians, who is proving to be a ballroom natural and who is struggling to know their tango from their foxtrot?
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 75-BALL, 80-BALL AND 90-BALL BINGO?

GET TO KNOW OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST LEXI
Strictly Come Dancing bingo
To create your own Strictly bingo cards, you’ll need:
- Pieces of paper with 3×3 grids drawn onto them.
- Dabbers.
- Your fellow sofa judges (as many friends / family as want to join in).
- Drinks and snacks, as watching celebrities dance is tiring work!
Pick eight events that are likely to happen during Strictly and write them down on your bingo card, leaving the middle square blank.
THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF IS ALSO BACK
In this middle square, note your Strictly Come Dancing inspired bingo name.
There could be a bonus point or prize for the most creative name choice!
That could be “The Ballroom Belle”, “The Quickstep Queen”, “The Waltzing Wizard” or “Let’s Get ready to Rumba”.
If one of your guessed events happens on the show, mark it off with your dabber!
THESE ARE THE BIGGEST WINNERS IN BINGO HISTORY
If you want to have multiple winners, you can award a prize for 1L and 2L (which is when a prize is given to the first player to mark off one complete line, and two complete lines).
However, if there’s only room for one Lord or Lady of the Dance, they’ll be the first to get a full house (when all things on your bingo card have been marked off).
This game could be played over one episode (and the winner is the player with the most squares marked off) or your bingo game could play out over the series, until a full house winner is crowned.
