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…
Read MoreIt Takes Two – Wednesday 20th October
On today’s show: Gavin & Katya; Matt & Aliona; Patsy & Robin; Midweek report. First though a look at Gavin & Katya’s Rumba. Gavin was shocked with being left till last to be called as safe in the show. Gavin reveals he’s a fan of Peter Andre…I wonder whether it’s for the body or the…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Waltz
Gavin should perform better at Ballroom than Latin and the beginning (albeit looking like he’s trying to break Katya’s neck) looks calm and controlled. However Katya is right, there isn’t much emotion showing, though it’s good to see him smiling throughout. A sweet performance that I’m struggling to mark, not quite a 7 but a…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing Training Clips – Wk 2
It’s the end of week 2 of training and all Strictly Come Dancing training clips have been released by the BBC. The first clip of the week goes to Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas, Gavin didn’t impress me much in the launch show, I’m hoping Katya will have worked some magic though. Lucky he’s been…

Read MoreThe moment of truth, dance off, and result
I’m expecting Laila to be saved by public vote, and a Natalie Cassidy/Phil Tufnell dance-off – but how have the public voted?Well that’s one of my dance-off possibles saved by the public, could Laila be in trouble this week? Either way I think they’ll save her till the bottom three. As expected! Out of these…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – American Smooth
Phil should be more at home in the ballroom dances, if he can just control his shoulders. The lifts should be interesting to see though.It’s a little frantic for a foxtrot for my liking but his top line is quite good. The lifts were executed well and overall not too bad a performance. For me…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Rumba
This, I’m afraid Phil, could potentially be a disaster! Needs to relax the shoulders right from the start. Looks to have lost his timing just before going into the sliding doors. Hip action is ok but could do a lot more. Not a bad performance but I think only 7’s though – apparently he’s Bruce’s…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Tango
A dance that requires passion and control, and absolutely no hip rolling!!! Can Phil cope…Phil needs to keep the bum in, it does appear to be protruding throughout, and this is also resulting in a slight hunched over frame. An ok performance that should easily get 7’s.
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Samba
So Phil’s turn to try the Brazilian carnival dance, lot’s of bounce and hip action required Phil!Quite a fast track they’ve picked for this Samba and I don’t think it’s doing them any favours. Absolutely no bounce and it looks very wooden except for the staged hip movement sections. For me I’d have to say…
