Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Quickstep
Perfect marks in the final for their Quickstep makes this a strong contender, though hopefully there’ll be some new choreography. Thought there was a slight slip up in the middle, but otherwise a very good performance, will the judges overlook the lift at the end though? Technically it seemed perfect but have to knock off…

In one of the most nail biting finals ever seen on Strictly Come Dancing, sports presenter Chris Hollins was voted Strictly Come Dancing Champion 2009 battling it out in a dramatic grand final against Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle. On winning the competition with his professional partner Ola Jordan, Chris said: ‘I’d just love to thank…

Team C’Ola or Ricky & Natalie… I think it’ll be Chris and Ola due to the phenomenal public support they’ve had over the whole series – and that confirms it. Congratulations Chris, you’ve definitely been the most entertaining couple (once Ricky Groves left anyway). I agree with the result, but how about you?

Wow four dances later, and only 4 points separating our two finalists: 1. Ricky & Natalie…50…43…48…49…Total 190 points2. Chris & Ola…46…44…50…46…Total 186 points A lot closer than I think many people would have predicted, but Chris definitely deserves to be that close to Ricky. Although Ricky is, on the whole, the better dancer I do…

I wonder if the press lift will make a reappearance. There’s still moments when I wish Ricky would think about his free hand, however I must say a no-hands lift definitely makes up for that. Shame they were a little bit off balance at the end. Lots of lifts but I actually found Chris’ to…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Cha Cha Cha
I wasn’t a big fan of their Cha Cha the first time round, though the judges seemed to really like it. Let’s see if Ricky can change my mind. Some of Ricky’s forward locks are really good, and then some appear to have no hip action whatsoever, and he does need to look at those…

Out of the two of them I’d say in advance that Chris could well outperform Ricky in this dance – on a personality basis anyway! Little stumble at the start from Ricky there. Chris does need to keep his head up though. However Ricky can definitely lift Natalie easily over his head…up until that spin…

Up first then is Ricky to bring in the Grand Final. Looking very good so far. Ricky’s head is very much improved over what i’ve seen in recent weeks, needs to make sure he keeps looking up and doesn’t look at the floor when they’re apart though. I would say a faultless performance and I’m…

Combined leaderboard for tonight then is: 1. 96 points – Ricky & Natalie2. 92 points – Ali & Brian3. 80 points – Chris & Ola Overall a fair reflection I think on the performances though I think there’s less of a gap between the three of them than the 16 points suggests. However Ricky’s popularity…
