Petula is 90 tomorrow! Wondering if she is on tonight if they will do anything at the end as there is no show tomorrow so at least she has her birthday off!

Marisha was interviewed on Radio 2 this morning and mentioned she would be back in the West End next year in something not yet announced.(Although it may be something that has been announced just not the casting) I wonder what?

Apparently there is an arsenal online forum of 100,000 who are voting for Tony every week and he is topping the public vote.In some ways it was always a popularity contest as all of these reality / talent shows are.

celebrities attending the gala night of Cabaret and I think of the 20 or so pics I had only heard of about 4 of them. It is rather the fact that now the word celebrity is applied to those who really aren't.

Saw this tonight in Malvern and the whole week is sold out. Have to say very well behaved audience despite the large amount of children. Great performances all round with only one alternate Natalie Pilkington on. Got a great response from the audience. A cheap show to put on though and with 2 performances some days as it is so short, yet charging normal prices.

not that it's anyone else's business! Quite true, although it's splashed all over the media and when you self promote you can't but expect people to comment.

It should be Tony or Jayde who goes in my view. You just never know though at this stage.

I have never heard of her and think the Palladium is very ambitious.

Matt did have a physical problem which may have impacted on his movement. He has Poland Syndrome , which affects the body's musculature.

Johannes on the farm was like Alexis Carrington Colby guest starring on Emmerdale! Fabulous. That line has made my day!

Michael is quite right. There is usually an interval for anyone desperate enough to look at their phone. It drives me mad when all people do is look at their phone in the theatre. It is rude and shows no respect for the audience and performers.

At least Will didn't make too much of the fact that he's been really ill all week. Hope he manages to avoid the dance off as he did look awful and i noted that he disappeared for the rest of the show and only reappeared at the end.

Hi! It's been a while. So life's been hectic lately, as usual! Had some bad news last week, which has floored me tbh. I hope you don't mind me sharing, sometimes it's easier to speak with people who don't know you personally. My lovely lovely Dad, after his heart problems last year, has been diagnosed with very very early stages of Alzheimers. It wasn't a massive shock as his short term memory has been not as good as usual for a couple of years, but he's otherwise OK. It's just really upset me cos I keep worrying about the future, imagining him in a home and all that stuff. People keep saying to enjoy time with him now and not to worry about the future but finding that really difficult atm! Just one of those horrible facts of getting older and having ageing parents. I keep veering between floods of tears and being really motivated about sorting his diet out and getting him fitter and doing what I can to slow the progression, its just horrible not knowing what to expect. So yeah, thats my life at the min!! Sorry to hear about that. I guess getting info from support groups is helpful but there maybe things they can do to slow it down. The singing programme has been on with Vicky Mclure which really seems to help. Not easy though when you first get that initial diagnosis. We have had a rough few days as my younger brother(52) has been rediagnosed with Lymphoma. He had it in March then went through Chemo and radiotherapy and was about to get a 3 month scan to check but had symptoms and it has come back to the same place it was before. He is about to go on a very agressive treatment next week(hopefully) which will involve him being hospitalised for some of it as side effects are very bad. Not easy when you live away or for my parents as we don't live close.You can just hope and pray.

I've never heard of it until now or know anything about it, but with the limited run and tickets and Donmar reputation this will sell well I am sure.

Jayde and Karen were overmarked in my opinion. The scores were very inconsistant overall again in my opinion.

This is one of the only shows i have walked out of at the interval so not matter how much work has been done I doubt i will be returning.

There was no way that QS was worth 32. BBC 'stars' often seem overmarked.

Shirley's whole tone and demeanour was so different with Ellie T and Fleur than it was with Tyler and Tony... And why does she insist on standing up and dancing along with certain celebrities? Yes it does seem to clash with the supposed impartial judging

There appeared too much praise in the comments and over scoring. Quite a mixed bag really but some surprises.

So if I'm right, tonight all 15 couples will perform, get critiqued and scored by the judges- and those scores will be carried across till next week- but no one leaves tonight Yes you are right. The first couple will leave next weekend.

Pity Neil didn't get a partner and what was Tess wearing? Hope the wardrobe dept do better than last year.
