Jade Johnson & Ian Waite Tango
After seeing that there’s no doubt that Jade was an incredibly strong contender for this title. My old teacher Mary (Ian’s step-mum) choreographed this dance and was gutted when they couldn’t perform it on the night. I feel so sorry for Ian as this was probably his best chance for making it to the final,…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Tango
Another dance where Ali won’t be able to ‘float’ round the floor so will be interesting to see how she copes with the passion and aggression required in this dance. Slight slip in the spins at the start and they appear to be incorporating rising into the dance at points. Ali is looking quite unsteady…

Will my prediction of a Laila and Ricky dance off pan out? Bottom three as expected, now who have the public gone for? Yep Natalie & Vincent are saved by the audience, and Laila and Ricky are in the dance-off. More importantly it’s Erin versus Anton! If Ricky can perform without making any mistakes then…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Tango
So I didn’t expect a comical take on a Paso, let’s see if Ricky can keep it serious for the Tango. Emma’s not really ‘feeling’ Erin’s dress this week, and I must admit it does look a little weird. Just loses a little bit of drive at times and his dropped head makes him look…

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.
Read MoreThe result
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…
