Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Show Dance

I must admit this dance has me worried but I’m hoping Pamela pulls it out of the bag like she’s done so many times this competition. We have the theme from Dirty Dancing, and most of the moves…shame that James just catches himself on Pamela’s foot.  A slight slip getting up from the floor spin…

Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Show Dance

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Showdance

Now I predicted that Ricky may outperform Chris in this dance, but not having seen either this will be an interesting contest. That answers my question about whether Chris will be able to lift Ola above his head as well as Ricky! Needs to keep his head up, and looks a little off in the…
