Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
Chris really stepped it up in the final last week and delivered an almost perfect Foxtrot, can he improve on that tonight? Looks to me like there has been some work on the hands, but really should be smiling throughout. Shame about the mistake in the middle. Ola knows how much the audience like the…
Read MoreComments from Chris and Ricky, and Christmas line-up.
In one of the most nail biting finals ever seen on Strictly Come Dancing, sports presenter Chris Hollins was voted Strictly Come Dancing Champion 2009 battling it out in a dramatic grand final against Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle. On winning the competition with his professional partner Ola Jordan, Chris said: ‘I’d just love to thank…

Team C’Ola or Ricky & Natalie… I think it’ll be Chris and Ola due to the phenomenal public support they’ve had over the whole series – and that confirms it. Congratulations Chris, you’ve definitely been the most entertaining couple (once Ricky Groves left anyway). I agree with the result, but how about you?

Wow four dances later, and only 4 points separating our two finalists: 1. Ricky & Natalie…50…43…48…49…Total 190 points2. Chris & Ola…46…44…50…46…Total 186 points A lot closer than I think many people would have predicted, but Chris definitely deserves to be that close to Ricky. Although Ricky is, on the whole, the better dancer I do…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Showdance
Now I predicted that Ricky may outperform Chris in this dance, but not having seen either this will be an interesting contest. That answers my question about whether Chris will be able to lift Ola above his head as well as Ricky! Needs to keep his head up, and looks a little off in the…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Charlston
Return of the crazy face of Chris Hollins. This is looking improved over their original Charlston, which definitely bodes well. A very good performance, a little untidy in places (though I suspect that’s the essence of the dance) and I’m going to give it a 9.

So after two dances the Leaderboard is as follows: 1. Ricky & Natalie…50…43…Total 93 points2. Chris & Ola…46…44…Total 90 points Not unsurprising that Ricky is top, though Chris is catching up after getting one more point from Dary than Ricky in the Lindyhop.

Out of the two of them I’d say in advance that Chris could well outperform Ricky in this dance – on a personality basis anyway! Little stumble at the start from Ricky there. Chris does need to keep his head up though. However Ricky can definitely lift Natalie easily over his head…up until that spin…

So, Chris has never been in the dance-off but has also never received a 10 so far in the competition. How is he going to respond to the perfect 50 that Ricky just achieved? Good to see Chris has decided not to work on his hands and face for the final 😉 Wait, was that…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Argentine Tango
Good to see Chris and Ola starting with true Argentine Tango basics. Needs to make sure he doesn’t hold back on the flicks though as they look a little stunted at times. I preferred their dance to Ali’s but I still only an 8 for me.
