The Strictly Spoiler 2020 Competition

SURPRISE!!!!

I know I said there would be no competitions this series due to the ongoing pandemic but I’ve been looking down the back of the sofa and coppering up and I’ve managed to locate some prizes for the final weekend.

I have two £50 Amazon UK vouchers up for grabs to one lucky person on the Facebook Page and one lucky person over on Twitter during next week’s final.

All you have to do to enter is to join in with the discussion on either of those networks and make sure you like/follow the profiles on those networks.

Keep an eye out as I’ll be rushing out my series where I look at the finalists throughout the day as real life got in the way during the week. Don’t forget to comment on the posts on the social networks when you see them for your chance to win!
