Jade Johnson & Ian Waite Tango

After seeing that there’s no doubt that Jade was an incredibly strong contender for this title. My old teacher Mary (Ian’s step-mum) choreographed this dance and was gutted when they couldn’t perform it on the night.

Jade Johnson & Ian Waite – Foxtrot

The Foxtrot is a slow and elegant dance and, like most ballroom dances, tends to suit the taller couples – and these two are certainly both tall!For an athlete Jade does manage to pull off elegant quite well. A little bit of gapping between them , Jade needs to slow down when she’s the one…

The result

Same as last week, I don’t think anyone has to predict this one!Another no-question 4-0 send home. This is going to make the next couple of weeks really tough for those that are left though as the two [debatably] worst dancers have now left the show.
