Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Tango
With rumours abound this week that Ricky’s split with his girlfriend Carley Stenson was due to his ‘close’ relationship with Natalie Lowe, this could be a passionate Tango indeed!Ricky Whittle – Tango The dance certainly starts with a lot of passion and energy, though it does look quite sloppy at times – is this nerves…
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.

Unfortunately for Richard there was no comparison between him and Craig, surprised Len would’ve voted them however (not sure if that’s a consolation vote though!)Next week then will see all 14 couples competing against each other, but with only one dance to do rather than the two that most have struggled with so far. At…
Read MoreMoment of truth and dance-off
Here comes another tense couple of minutes!Yet another poor decision by the audience, but I think that’s just signed Richard’s death knell. So Craig up first with the Tango, and again an uncomfortable looking start – needs to work on the upper body, specifically the frame, and also to lead with the body and not…
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Tango
Well done Phil, that’ll teach anyone that compared you to John Sergeant (though I seem to recall he did have a very good first Waltz too!) … 6 predicted…… A poor start but quickly recovered. Looking good for a while, but a bit skippy later on and lacks some control. Going to be 5’s, maybe…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Tango
From the training videos I had this down as an 8, so will be interesting to see if they live up to the hype. Not sure if Anton should have called all his old partners rubbish (I seem to recall he did alright with Lesley Garrett).… Needs to put the chin up just a bit,…
Read MoreCraig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Tango
Always good to insult the judges before they give their marks James! Doesn’t look like it affected Len’s mark though.… So I predicted a 6 for these guys earlier, let’s see what happens. I hope he’s worked on his upper line. So a slight Paso opening followed by a bit of stomping, needs to be…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Tango
Vincent’s dance of choice, should be good so long as Natalie watches those shoulders and arms.… Uncomfortable start with the hand on the back of the neck but not looking bad now, though she does look a little soft up top (and I mean her frame!!!) Little bit jerky at times. I’m going to say…

So the night of the new celebrity competitors is almost upon us, and last night’s It Takes Two had training updates, how is their training coming along? Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas Waltz – Needs to relax the shoulders, just holding his arms a little high (arms should be a slight incline down from the…
