Bobby’s in a Sir Patrick Of Swayze black tribute vest, Dianne’s in Jennifer Grey’s pink 60s frock. Nobody puts Buswell in the corner. Will she carry a watermelon? In training, yes. For the first time since his Halloween cha-cha, Bobby “Swayzier” is unleashing his flexible hips. You have to take risks at this stage of the contest, so they’re pushing themselves with plenty of lifts and tricks. He’s been working hard on his footwork and hand-shaping after previous criticism from the judges. Hesitant footwork and slightly rushes moves but lifts, tricks and loads of fun. They end, of course, on *that* lift? You know the one. Health and safety nightmare, slight wobble but successfully landed and a big finish. Aww.

Another film before it was a stage musical, which might vex a few purists. The 1987 anthem, recorded by Bill “Righteous Brothers” Medley and Jennifer Warnes, won an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe. Composer Franke Previte originally turned down the offer to co-write the film’s soundtrack because he thought from the title that it was a p*rno. He also went on to write Hungry Eyes for it. A Lionel Richie song was originally planned for the film’s finale but this was rightly preferred. And I owe it all to you.

They’re coming back fighting from the dance-off with a fierce, powerful number. Musicals are Layton Williams’ thing, so there’s extra pressure to deliver. They’ve been one point away from perfection three times. Could it be his week for a perfect 40? He’s been working hard on the shaping and details, from his hands to his standing leg. Slow solo section to start, then it gathers pace and drama. Leaps, pyrotechnics, perhaps lacking some Spanish line and curve, plus some partnering, but utterly spectacular. Big old group lift and sliding splits to finish. Oof. Bonkers.

A Baz Luhrmann film before it was a stage musical. By fully 17 years, in fact. This is becoming a running theme, isn’t it? It’s a dramatic, showstopping mash-up of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Toxic by Britney Spears and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics. What a quartet of bangers. There’s also a dash of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes in the original (aka “Oh, Jeremy Corbyn”).

Harman, graves
Pobre Nigel.O ator de 50 anos deveria dançar uma chaminé Charleston hoje à noite com parceiro profissionalKatya Jones, definido para passar o tempo deMary Poppins.Gostaria de saber se tinha sido uma dança menos completa - uma lenta Foxtrot, Valsa ou Rumba, talvez - ele poderia ter sido remendado, injetado com analgésicos e soldados?Um Charleston não deixa nenhum lugar para se esconder se você não estiver 100% em forma.

Que palaver.Isso émeia horaAté que a cortina brilhante apareça ...
