Strictly Come Dancing 2012 – Premiere
Yes yes I know I haven’t blogged about Strictly, or anything for that matter, in 9 months but I thought it about time to get back into it. The reveal show took place almost two weeks ago and although I watched it at the time, this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down…

Read MoreNancy Dell'Olio & Anton Du Beke – Salsa
An uncomfortable start and her timing and footwork is all over the place. Anton’s doing his best to keep her under control, I must admit it’s not as bad as I’d originally expected but the technique is pretty awful. She needs to stand up straighter and let Anton lead…I’m going to give her a 5…
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 MoreStrictly Training Video – Nancy Dell'Olio & Anton Du Beke
Second up tonight is Nancy Dell’Olio and Anton Du Beke also with the Waltz. For the majority of the training Nancy is looking quite rigid and heavy footed, but I’m really liking the sequence around about 58/9 seconds in. If she can continue to be lighter on her feet she’ll be in good hands with…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Sunday 5th December Results
Yesterday I predicted Gavin Henson and Ann Widdecombe to be in the bottom two, with Gavin just losing out in the audience vote. Though I have the feeling we might see a shock in the bottom two tonight (I’m worried Matt might be in trouble). So first through this week: Gavin & Katya & Kata…
Read MoreAnn Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – American Smooth
So Anton has to complete 3 lifts in the American Smooth, I’m hoping we see a few new ones and not the same ones they keep throwing in each week. Good start with the lift…and then they land. Actually the start isn’t that bad, though Ann does end up out of time. There’s even a…
Read MoreAnn Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – Charleston
Charleston could be a car crash, they’re definitely going to go down the comedy angle on this one. Ok it seems I spoke too soon. They’ve put lots of dancing into it and although it lacks any foot swivelling I do think it’s got as much energy as Ann could manage. Some jokes surrounding the…
Read MoreAnn Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – Paso Doble
What are we going to see this week? Ann needs to try and skim the floor more when she’s walking, and her sur place movements (effectively stamping on the spot) need to be not lifted up so much. Lovely lines when Anton is throwing her, though the floor spins are just comical. She does get…
Read MoreIt Takes Two – Monday 25th October
On tonight’s episode: Peter & Erin; Alisha Dixon; Ann & Anton; Felicity & Vincent. The show starts with Ola Jordan taking a video camera round behind the scenes and chatting the the dancers and celebs. We see James jokingly telling Ola about what it’s like to still be in the competition. Len and James share…
