Strictly Come Dancing brings with it all sorts of traditions - from Tess, Claudia and the contestants swaying along to the famous catchphrase to Craig's deadpan putdowns. One of our favourite Strictly customs, though, is the reveal of the dancers' microphone recordings during their performances and we're pleased to say it's back for 2020.
Taking to social media, Strictly shared a playback of Saturday night's numbers, with the difference being that this time, we could hear what the celebs and their professional partners were saying to one another.
Always joyful and worthy of a few laughs, this first mic reveal is no different. Plus, it's caught the attention of head judge Shirley Ballas for all the right reasons.

The video montage starts with encouragement from the likes of Karen, Gorka and Giovanni. Aljaz can be seen telling Clara: "Come on girl. Strong, strong, strong, strong" and later "I love it! Come on!"
Jason and Luba danced the American Smooth to the song My Girl, with the pro dancer telling the former American football player: "Oh yes, you've got that sunshine!"

Katya helps Nicola to remember her steps with quick reminders, before the pair can be seen singing along to their music.
The video ends with a whole load of congratulatory comments, and Amy telling JJ: "I am so proud of you."
The mic reveal certainly goes to show just how much the Strictly professionals support their celebrities, and it's caught the eye of head judge Shirley.
Commenting on the video, Shirley wrote: "Our professionals are sooooo positive. I just love them all. Kind caring and amazing dancers. Gratitude. X"
We know that this weekend (31 October), Nicola Adams and Katya Jones will be dancing the first couples' choice of the series to the song Shine by Years & Years.
Elsewhere in week two, Caroline and Johannes will dance the Paso Doble, Clara and Aljaz will take on the Viennese Waltz and Jacqui and Anton will do the Samba.
Find out what all the couples are dancing to here.
Strictly Come Dancing airs this Saturday night at 7.15pm on BBC One.
