Read MoreNew format planned for Strictly Christmas Special this year
So you’re a Strictly Come Dancing producer and you want the really big names for your show, but let’s be honest how many of us could honestly just drop everything and commit up to 3 months of our lives to a dance show? Well actually I would, it is Strictly after all, but that’s beside…
Read MoreThe moment of truth!
So it’s all down to how the studio audience voted, who’s going out first…(I’ve predicted it to be between Austin & Rachel) Chris & Ola – unsurprising to be honest as the Foxtrot didn’t really allow Chris’ personality to come across. Gethin & Flavia – lacking chemistry so again unsurprising. Ricky & Natalie Austin &…

Read MoreChris 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 MoreRachel Stevens & Vincent Simone – Rumba
Rachel was one of the best female celebrity Rumba dancers I’ve seen on Strictly, and I’m looking forward to seeing their dance tonight. Ah the pivot, ever an audience favourite, and well placed in a varied and sensual routine. However during the lift at the end Rachel needed to put some shaping into her legs…
Read MoreGethin Jones & Flavia Cacahe – American Smooth
So a new partnership for the Christmas Special, how will they perform together? Doesn’t really seem to be much chemistry between them, and I’m finding the performance a little stale, however the final lift drew some excited gasps from Emma’s mother and sister. Not a bad performance, but not as good as the others so…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Viennese Waltz
A perfect 40 in Blackpool, let’s see if they can recreate that magical dance tonight. Ali’s elegance always suits the mainly slow Ballroom dances. A little shaky at times but otherwise faultless and I think this could be the first perfect score of the night.
Read MoreAustin Healey & Erin Boag – Paso Doble
Austin performed an amazing Paso Doble in 2008’s competition and I felt was very unlucky to go out without reaching the final. Well that’s a start and a half, though I’d prefer a more Spanish arm shape at times. However a very entertaining performance (as Austin always managed) and a great aggressive performance. A 9.5…
