Read MoreThe moment of truth, dance off, and result
Will my prediction of a Laila and Ricky dance off pan out? Bottom three as expected, now who have the public gone for? Yep Natalie & Vincent are saved by the audience, and Laila and Ricky are in the dance-off. More importantly it’s Erin versus Anton! If Ricky can perform without making any mistakes then…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Tango
So I didn’t expect a comical take on a Paso, let’s see if Ricky can keep it serious for the Tango. Emma’s not really ‘feeling’ Erin’s dress this week, and I must admit it does look a little weird. Just loses a little bit of drive at times and his dropped head makes him look…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Waltz
Will Laila have recovered from her injury enough to cope with the demands of the rise and fall in the Waltz? Just needs to make sure she keeps her core strong as still looks a little loose at times. Shame about the glaring mistake at the end though, I don’t think there’s any dances this…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – American Smooth
Ricky was worried during the week about having to do the lifts, and I don’t blame him! Nothing against Natalie, but lifting anyone completely off the ground is a difficult task. Ricky’s head still concerns me when he’s dancing Ballroom, it always seems to be a little tilted, and he needs to make sure he…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Viennese Waltz
Chris has been hit-and-miss this series, let’s see how he copes with the tricky Viennese. Not quite sure that Chris’ feet were correct during the slow fleckerl at the start. Nice pivots, although you could see the tension forming in Chris’ shoulders every time he dances them. A good performance and should get 8’s.
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Foxtrot
Away from the sexy requirements of the Latin Ali should perform a great Foxtrot tonight. Like the Viennese the other week, Ali looks a little shaky at times but overall another almost faultless performance (a little hard to tell whether she was correctly releasing the toe when moving backward – good old Strictly camera angles!)…

Katya Virshilas (who danced a sexy and sultry Tango with Antonio Banderas in Take the Lead – which i’ve also included a clip of), gives us her top three tips when dancing the Tango. Clip from Take the Lead: Katya’s top three tips:
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 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.
