Strictly Come Dancing: Dr Punam Krishan says it's a 'huge moment' as Bollywood music comes to show - BBC News

What do you see in the photo? What is the story here?

Last week on Strictly Come Dancing, Punam Krishan and Gorka Marquez competed with a Bollywood dance for the first time in the show's history.

Contestant Punam Krishan said, "I am such a proud Scottish Indian girl. I really just wanted to bring my culture and my heritage to the forefront."

"I never saw Indian girls dancing on mainstream television so to be doing now an Indian dance on a platform like Strictly, it's huge."

"But it's also for South Asians or any child that just wants to see something a bit different or just to feel included. this is a huge moment."

Here is a link to the dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25xkr1Xcg6s

Judge Motsi Mabuse said, "I know so many people are watching you right now and feeling so proud to see this on Strictly."

Sue took in 6 kittens that needed rescuing. Within hours, Teasel started allowing the kittens to drink her milk and cuddle up to her. Initially, Sue expected to have the kitten for just one night but as Teasel is looking after them, she is keeping them a little longer; "My dog decided she was going to look after them. She was cleaning them and making milk." "She stays cuddled up to them all night. If anybody comes in who she doesn't know, and the kittens have gone astray, she'll pick them up and put them back to bed." "She has assumed the role of mum." - What is unusual here?

Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money.
