Read MoreJason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff – Cha Cha Cha
I’ve often considered acquiring a neck brace to torture my students with, Jason’s performance tonight may make my mind up for me. Russell may have performed ‘the campest Cha Cha Strictly’s ever seen’ but Jason wouldn’t be far behind after that start. Some nice hip action though, but he does get out of step on…
Read MoreNancy Dell'Olio & Anton Du Beke – Waltz
Two big egos, one dance, plenty of humour, though I don’t think the feather boa was part of the routine and unfortunately it’s pretty much ruined the whole performance. A complete mess I don’t feel it’s fair to even give it a score, I think Craig especially will be harsh. Craig: 1 “A word of…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha
Edwina had quite a good hip action developing in training so I hope to see more of that tonight, not sure on the outfit they’ve put her in though. She needs to avoid picking her feet up quite so dramatically, and the floor spin for Vincent is definitely a departure. A lot of repetition in…
Read MoreChelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev – Waltz
After seeing her initial training video Chelsee was my early front runner, please don’t let me down tonight! So far so good, there’s just something about the way Chelsee holds herself when she dances, and she has a wonderful top line. A few stumbles here and there but this is one of the best first…
Read MoreAlex Jones & James Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
So no explanation for the change in dance order, maybe the BBC just decided they fancied a change (Alex and James were originally scheduled to dance last night but were swapped with Holly and Artem at the last minute)? Not sure on the ‘sexy’ start, doesn’t strike me as Alex’s personality and actually this routine’s…
Read MoreRory Bremner & Erin Boag – Waltz
Rory looked really good in the launch show and in training, he has a bit of a Tony Blair smile on him tonight, and he could lower his shoulders to make his frame look a lot more relaxed. I love this track for a Waltz, I’ll have to find a suitable version to add to…
Read MoreHarry Judd & Aliona Vilani – Cha Cha Cha
Harry’s the only celebrity competitor with prior Strictly experience, but Paso is completely different from Cha Cha so I don’t think it’s a massive advantage. I’m liking this Argentine Tango inspired start, Harry’s definitely looking good and it’s a massive improvement over any of Friday’s Cha Cha’s. A bit too much ‘arm on the waistcoat’…
