And so, ED! answers the questions Strictly fans have turned to the internet for answers to…

Tyler West on taking part in Strictly Come Dancing
It seems Tyler is already feeling the impact of his preparations for the BBC dance floor.
He said: “I am SO gassed to be joining the Strictly family! As I started writing this I already got cramp.”
Tyler also indicated dancing will be a challenge for him and test his limits.
He continued: “It’s going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone.
It’s going to be one crazy incredible journey.
“It’s a show that means so much to me and my family. And I can’t wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor… with a side of sequins.”
Strictly side effects
Cramp aside, it appears Strictly training may also be affecting Tyler in another physical way, too.
He recently told fans that he’s been feeling really tired by the time he gets to bed.
Furthermore, he’s even started to snore for the first time.
Tyler explained: “I’ve started to snore. I’ve never snored in my life right and now I thought I need to do something about this and track it and see what it actually sounds like, is it actually that bad so I downloaded a sleep app.”
Let’s hope the snoring isn’t contagious and Tyler’s boogying doesn’t make the viewers drowsy and slumbersome…

Tyler’s most recent meeting with Prince Charles appears to have been earlier this year, in May – and, meeting the now King, Tyler shocked some fans with his behaviour.
