Is it time for same-sex couples on Strictly Come Dancing? Tom Urie does Proms and Scotland's top nurse loses seven stone in weight to set an example to others.

Susan Calman has strongly defended her decision as an openly gay woman to dance with a male professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing. The Scottish comedian and writer has faced criticism on social media for taking part in the show - because it does not have same-sex dancing couples. Fellow contestant Rev Richard Coles has said that he would be happy to dance with a male partner and that this would be a good year to do it.
