Great weekend of teaching in Bournemouth, thanks to Hotel Piccadilly for asking us to host.  Unfortunately our plan to watch the show via iplayer on Saturday night didn’t work as the show was still ‘coming soon’ at 12.30am Sunday morning, so everyone went to bed instead.

Robbie Savage & Ola Jordan – Cha Cha Cha

Robbie looked to struggle with the Cha Cha in training and a hoodie outfit doesn’t fill me with the greatest of confidence…surely that should have been in Audley’s outfit?! It’s started more like a Paso Doble than a Cha Cha and like a lot of Ola’s routines seems to consist of the guy standing there…
