The Strictly Spoiler 2017 Competition

Another new series of Strictly is nearly upon us and I’ve got a massive competition with even more chances to win than 2016. With three times as many prizes to be given away compared to 2016 this year’s competition is going to be huge.

Just like last year there will be prizes up for grabs each and every week this series. But I’ve got not just one prize, not even two prizes but THREE PRIZES available to be won each week. There is a £20 amazon UK voucher to be won on each of the three possible entry methods making a huge £60 to be given away each and every week of the 2017 series.

Just like last series all you need to do to get involved and win a prize is join the discussion. You can do so in the following ways:

Amy is from Wales and has been dancing since the age of 8. She is the current British National Champion and one of the highest ranking Ballroom and Latin dancers in the UK.
