Not entirely Strictly related but Shirley was on Morning Live and said she and Johannes guest appear in a future Dr Who episode. I don't know whether it is one of the 3 David Tennant episodes or when Ncuti takes over. Might be worth looking out for and JoJo and Ncuti potentially together might be fun.

Nigel didn't score well but the bookies seem to think he has public support Nigel is the housewives favourite apparently. It's a strong vote that may keep him in all the way to the final or he could be Will Mellor'ed out in the Semis. Personally Nigel would be my choice to go next. He and Bobby are the main two who aren't improving at this point and Bobby at least has the excuse that he started as a total novice. That said, I don't think either of them will leave this weekend. I reckon it'll be Angela or Annabel (preferably the latter for me). I agree that if Layton starts to fall into the bottom two in the final weeks then he'll be an Ashley Robert's style ejector seat to whoever he is up against. Can't call who the Bottom 2 will be this week at all. Could be anyone bar Ellie and I think Bobby could well get a bounce back. |

It’s all coming back to me is still one of my favourite pros dances of the last few years with Oti and Graziano dancing to Cassidy Janson singing in a huge sparkly scarlet dress!

I think who goes this week will be a real indication of who may win, it's down to really good dancers now.

I haven't done the math, but with Amanda withdrawing will there be three couples in the final, or just two?

It’s annoyed me for YEARS the way tess and Claudia say “the judges”, it’s so dreary.

One of my favourite rumba routines. It was very well choreographed to suit him.

Lovely Paso - using authentic music really does help
I thought the Cha Cha was messy with some timing issues

Very emotional CC. It was well constructed and executed.

I liked the arrangement for the AT. The accordion really aided the atmosphere.
My favourite AT of the year so far

My prediction is Layton v Angela in the dance off.
But we shall see

Nigel did well with that rumba, especially as it’s usually a difficult dance for the male celebrities.
Annabel has shown such progression through the series, she and Johannes are my favourite couple.
Ellie’s lifts were great and the routine was so sharp. She’s the one to beat.

I didn’t like laytons American smooth at all. Didn’t like the routine, the song, or the awful costumes. It didn’t feel like an American smooth, some things can/should be kept traditional.
I thought Angela’s Cha Cha stood out as the weakest dance actually, I wasn’t a fan of it, it didn’t feel Latin enough with the lack of hip movement in parts.
I liked bobbys couples choice, sometimes the emotion and story just trumps everything else.
I thought Nigel did well with the rumba, I was surprised at the 8’s, but what do I know?
I thought Annabels paso was brilliant, but not quite a 40.
Ellies Argentine tango was brilliant. I did kinda agree with the intimacy/intensity, but then I hear the others saying it’s not all about that, I’m just used to them being so intense.
I think Angela will be bottom 2 for sure, it’s gonna be telling time of if Nigel or Layton has the bigger fan base.
I think Angela goes against either of them.

Just watched it in the i-Player.
I too didn't like Laytons American smooth.
As much as I like Angela, I though her routine was the weakest.
I actually don't like the Rumba as a dance. However thought Nigel did very well.
Annabelle just gets better and better every week. The way she threw herself at Johannes!
Bobby. Thought the routine was lovely; very good. I just hate how they use the VT's to 'manipulate' the audience going down the emotional route. F**k me I love that song 'This Woman's Work'! Kate Bush has written a belter there!
For me, Ellie's Argentine Tango as the dance of the night. Sharp! On point! The way she climbed up Vito! Outstanding!

I always associate This Woman's Work with Kate Bush, one of her less known tunes but still a superb song.

In the 80's John Hughes famously created some of the most classic teenage movies of our time, tapping into such themes as teenage angst, first love, being the outsider yearning to be accepted, etc.
However as his writing matured, so did his characters and John Hughes 'grew up'.
There is a little gem of a film in his catalogue called She's Having A Baby, staring a young Elizabeth McGoven, Kevin Bacon and Alec Baldwin about a young couple getting married and, eventually, falling pregnant.
Without giving any spoilers, there a scene, where This Woman's Work, sung by Kate Bush is used to maximum effect. This was the first time I became aware of this song and it has stuck with me ever since.
Such a beautiful song!

I've no idea what Layton's footwork was like. Couldn't see it for the flapping of his cullotes.
Lovely to see nice Dan Walker in the audience.
Ellie's almost got it in the bag. With her winnings she can buy her parents some new wallpaper!

Don't you love it when the they run up the stairs for to be interviewed and in his broken English, Vito tried to explain his method of training with metaphors and it becomes so convoluted, and given that she's working to a time frame from the producers whispering in her ear, that Claudia quickly looses interest.

Totally wrong choice of elimination tonight if you base it on people dancing a set dance style how it should be danced. I find Craig increasingly flaky, when he used to be honest with solid reasoning. It was heartening to hear that Shirley would have saved Angela.

Layton has delivered a whole series of show dances and it is right that the lack of adherence to the basics of each dance is pointed out.
It is not his fault. That lies with the choreography and Nikita who should be sticking to the rules.

I think Angela did quite well to hold back the tears.
Despite how much she's grown as a person, now that it's over, maybe she out her feet up and can spend some quality time with her little girls.
