Zoe Lucker & James Jordan – Paso Doble
Another top partnership back to dance again. Nice dress, now what about the dance? Good shapes at the start and throughout, though really waiting for a big WOW moment, seems a little lacklustre. I wonder if James grew the facial hair especially for the dance? Hunched over at times but overall not too bad. Best…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Quickstep
Another top dancer from a fortnight ago, fast dances normally suit shorter competitors so will be interesting to see how this shapes up.Keep the head up Chris at the start, but good hands as always (contrary to Len’s criticism…! Looks a little flat and laboured and appears to be a lack of connection between them,…
Read MoreLynda Bellingham & Darren Bennett – Paso Doble
A dance that requires passion and performance. Cha Cha wasn’t very good last time but this could be a lot better. Classic dress design, not quite sure about the Flamenco moves to start with – too rushed to get the impact. Lacks ‘attack’ and is a bit too soft for my liking but definitely better…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Quickstep
Very good Waltz last time they danced ballroom and should have the elegance to pull off a good quickstep.Nice classic music choice. Floaty and elegant beginning. Good movement and control, though the top line looks a little nervous and she looks almost like she’s leaning. Shaming about the slight mistake there. Fast and accurate footwork…

Read MoreThe result
Unfortunately for Richard there was no comparison between him and Craig, surprised Len would’ve voted them however (not sure if that’s a consolation vote though!)Next week then will see all 14 couples competing against each other, but with only one dance to do rather than the two that most have struggled with so far. At…
Read MoreMoment of truth and dance-off
Here comes another tense couple of minutes!Yet another poor decision by the audience, but I think that’s just signed Richard’s death knell. So Craig up first with the Tango, and again an uncomfortable looking start – needs to work on the upper body, specifically the frame, and also to lead with the body and not…

Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha
Confident in training and not afraid to move her hips around will be interesting to see whether technique is forgotten once the performance takes over?Need to cross the legs during a lock step Natalie and the arms are a little flung out at points. Lively in places but not inspiring, think this will be a…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Rumba
Hitchhiker! That’s the word I was thinking of, still not good i’m afraid though Richard.So, the girl’s favourite is up next, and starts by flashing the torso to his fans! Nice hip action but needs to sort the shoulders out – makes him look uncomforable. Really good lines however and the only partnership to utilise…
