Strictly Come Dancing
Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
So, Chris has never been in the dance-off but has also never received a 10 so far in the competition. How is he going to respond to the perfect 50 that Ricky just achieved? Good to see Chris has decided not to work on his hands and face for the final 😉 Wait, was that…

Up first then is Ricky to bring in the Grand Final. Looking very good so far. Ricky’s head is very much improved over what i’ve seen in recent weeks, needs to make sure he keeps looking up and doesn’t look at the floor when they’re apart though. I would say a faultless performance and I’m…

Only got a minute to spare? Just watch the video for a 60 second summary of Saturday night.
Read MoreThe result
So no dance off tonight, it’s all down to the audience tonight. As I predicted earlier I think Ricky will be going home tonight as he just doesn’t have enough public support. First couple through – Ricky & Natalie so that’s out the window. Other finalist is Chris as predicted, poor Ali misses out.

Combined leaderboard for tonight then is: 1. 96 points – Ricky & Natalie2. 92 points – Ali & Brian3. 80 points – Chris & Ola Overall a fair reflection I think on the performances though I think there’s less of a gap between the three of them than the 16 points suggests. However Ricky’s popularity…

Seconds in and I already feel this could be the best Arentine Tango of the night. Looks a little unsteady at times though. However a very good performance and easily worth 9’s.
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – American Smooth
A dance that should suit Ali better, although they have chosen quite a fast number. Not sure about Ali having both hands above her head during her spins, looks a little untidy. It looks like they’ve decided to quash any ‘are they or aren’t they’ rumours with those kisses at the end. A very good…

Good to see Chris and Ola starting with true Argentine Tango basics. Needs to make sure he doesn’t hold back on the flicks though as they look a little stunted at times. I preferred their dance to Ali’s but I still only an 8 for me.

Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Waltz
Personally for me Ricky’s Ballroom has always been let down by his strange head positioning during pivots and spins, something he’s done since his first dance in week 2 and has never been mentioned. That opening looked like a lift but I think they’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Straight away though and…
