Baby one more icon

Published October 27, 2025

Strictly Come Dancing this week featured an Icons theme, which I had thought was a one off last year but apparently is now an annual thing. It’s fine, a great idea, but it does lead to some questions over who is and isn’t an icon. What even makes someone an icon in the first place? Is it global superstardom? Is it just being that person for one specific contestant? Given that Vicki Patterson chose Cheryl, I think Strictly is leaning into the latter.

However, the professional group dance on the results show did feature an icon and was brilliant - it’s Britney, bitch!

I think you’re definitely iconic if you can be recognisable in nine different outfits.
