Strictly Come Dancing
Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Cha Cha
The Cha Cha’s a cheeky dance so this could really suit Phil’s personality, let’s just hope his hips turn up too!Predicted a 6 for this based on the mid-week training. Not sure about the hands on the stomach at the start, or the little skip. Needs to relax the shoulders a bit, and the hips…

Sorry the blog’s running late again tonight, we were round the in-laws for dinner and I couldn’t really sit there with the laptop at the table!However again I will be blogging ‘live’ as I watch the recording so check back if you want to see my thoughts! Also this week I will post up details…

Personally wouldn’t have scored it as high as that, felt there were a few frame issues but no matter, the leaderboard is about right.… Chris Hollins showing that he really does have some surprising potential, Joe unfortunately not so much and Ricky is still entertaining. Lynda giving it her all!
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Waltz
Full of promise with my initial thought being 7-8.… Had to watch getting too carried away with moving his head around, and a real shame with that slip but I still think he’ll get 7’s
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Tango
Well done Phil, that’ll teach anyone that compared you to John Sergeant (though I seem to recall he did have a very good first Waltz too!) … 6 predicted…… A poor start but quickly recovered. Looking good for a while, but a bit skippy later on and lacks some control. Going to be 5’s, maybe…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Waltz
Looks like they’ve forgiven the obvious mistake, and the marks are in line with the performance.… Depending on nerves this looked good in training and I predicted a 6-7. Now that’s some Brylcreemed hair! Nice Waltz performance, a slight slip unfortunately right in front of the judges, and needs to make sure that the toe…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Tango
From the training videos I had this down as an 8, so will be interesting to see if they live up to the hype. Not sure if Anton should have called all his old partners rubbish (I seem to recall he did alright with Lesley Garrett).… Needs to put the chin up just a bit,…
Read MoreRichard Dunwoody & Lilia Kopylova – Waltz
What was that face for Bruno? Don’t agree with Alesha’s marks? Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s not discussed in the papers this week.… Predicted 5-6, but didn’t know that existing injuries prevented him having a proper frame, will be interesting to see if the judges take that into account. Must, must, must go forward on…
Read MoreCraig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Tango
Always good to insult the judges before they give their marks James! Doesn’t look like it affected Len’s mark though.… So I predicted a 6 for these guys earlier, let’s see what happens. I hope he’s worked on his upper line. So a slight Paso opening followed by a bit of stomping, needs to be…
Read MoreZoe Lucker & James Jordan – Waltz
So judges agree with me on the first dance of the night, bodes well for the rest of them!… Training for the Waltz looked really good during the week so bodes well for tonight, I predicted a 7-8 earlier on tonight so will be interesting if they live up to it. … Really elegant start,…
