Strictly Come Dancing
Joe Calzaghe has claimed that Strictly Come Dancing is fixed!
In an interview with The Daily Mail boxer Joe Calzaghe has claimed that Strictly is fixed. The former contestant has accused the BBC of fixing his departure from the show, after he made a comment “…worse than a swear word…” about fellow contestant Craig Kelly. Apparently producers regularly told Joe that he received the highest…

Read MoreThe moment of truth, dance off, and result
I’m expecting Laila to be saved by public vote, and a Natalie Cassidy/Phil Tufnell dance-off – but how have the public voted?Well that’s one of my dance-off possibles saved by the public, could Laila be in trouble this week? Either way I think they’ll save her till the bottom three. As expected! Out of these…

Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Cha Cha
A perfect dance last week, sadly I don’t think they’ll perform quite as well this week – Ali hasn’t performed well in the fast Latin dances so far.The fringing is hiding the inadequacies in her hip action, and an obvious mistake in the middle. Didn’t really float my boat, but then pretty much what I…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Foxtrot
Not too sure on the hair-bow! But should really concentrate on the dancing I suppose.Not liking the dance to be honest, it’s a little un-imaginative and boring and doesn’t appear to have much contrast of fast and slow. Lots of mistakes creeping in and overall a real let down for me. I’d give them 6’s.
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Rumba
I thought their Paso last week was very good, and deserved higher marks than it received. Anton’s Latin choreography has been a bit weak this series so i’m hoping we see some improvement in the content.That foot/ankle injury is obviously causing Laila serious problems and the dance has definitely suffered. I think they might let…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Paso Doble
So Chris gave his best performance last week, can he keep it up with the Paso this week?Not sure on the facial expressions, but definitely an aggressive attacking attitude. I don’t personally like all the jumping stamps but the ending was very good and generally very good technique throughout. Easily 8’s, maybe even a 9…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Viennese Waltz
Another celebrity who’s more at home in the ballroom dances. His Viennese American Smooth was very good so I’m expecting good things tonight.A little skippy, which i’m sure Craig will pick up on, fleckerl wasn’t too bad though. The dance is let down by the skipping as it ruins the overall look, and with only…
