Craig 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,…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Tango
Vincent’s dance of choice, should be good so long as Natalie watches those shoulders and arms.… Uncomfortable start with the hand on the back of the neck but not looking bad now, though she does look a little soft up top (and I mean her frame!!!) Little bit jerky at times. I’m going to say…

So the night of the new celebrity competitors is almost upon us, and last night’s It Takes Two had training updates, how is their training coming along? Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas Waltz – Needs to relax the shoulders, just holding his arms a little high (arms should be a slight incline down from the…
Read MoreJoe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff
So the pre-show favourite is up next, let’s see if the bookie’s were right.… I feel for the judges, trying to type this and still watch the dancing is quite a feat! … Needs to stand up a little straighter, shouldn’t be leaning forward. Personally a think it lacks an energy, there should be more…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna
Not a fan of the lounge jacket as opposed to tails (except for Tango where I thnk it works quite well) but i’m here to comment on the dancing, not the dress sense!… Nice so far bar one little slip up. Well performed, floaty and elegant. Little bit jumpy at the start. Another 7

So it appears I am being too kind! … So time to put my stricter (see what I did there!) hat on.… If you’re going to pick the foot up and flick, make sure you definitely do all three, and try not to become half hearted. … I bet getting her dress snagged hasn’t helped…
Read MoreMartina Hingis & Matthew Cutler
I’d forgotten about using hoops when I was younger, might have to consider it for a couple of the private lessons… … Again just need to relax the left shoulder slightly, though not as pronounced as Jade’s. Nice movement but something’s lacking, think she needs to stand up a bit straighter, maybe lift from the…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite
I should admit now that I used to have lessons from Ian so I am secretely supporting him and Jade, but i’ll try and be objective!… That’s right ladies – the man i’m afraid is always in charge on the dancefloor! …. First of the female contestants and looking promising if a little unsure on…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan
Ok so it seems I was a bit too generous for the first week! I get nervous everytime we start a new dance course so I’m sure Chris is sweating profusely!Here goes: Powerful though a little stompy and flat footed, think this will be another 5/6 though probably nearer 6.
