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. Representation matters so for me 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."
