Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Samba

The weakest of the contenders still left in the competition Gavin is most likely going home this weekend, especially if he has Samba…but we’ll see. Gavin certainly trying with his hips but the whole routine looks a little manic, and if Craig penalised Kara & Artem for their slight over-extension to lift status Gavin is…

Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Foxtrot

I’m not expecting a great dance here, I’ll be honest. Gavin needs to be softer in his rise and fall, it looks clunky rather than gliding across the floor.  Also the personality we saw last week has completely disappeared, aside from the odd rye smile. Nowhere near as bad as the Jive last week but…

Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Paso Doble

I’m liking some of the shapes in training… As I expected Gavin has gone topless this week, needs to guarantee himself some votes.  He can’t stop himself smiling, but at least that’s better than his unemotional face Actually his best dance I think and I’m going to give him a 7. Craig: 5 “Turns need…

Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Tango

Time to see some emotion this week I hope Gavin.  Shame to start with the slip on the stairs – I swear his cheeks look red after that. Lifting his feet up too much and a complete lack of emotion on his face and the same lifting action when they repeat the same section. Gavin…
