Two celebs confirmed so far for the 2014 series:

Frankie from The Saturdays
Judy Murray (Andy's mum)

Not sure if they are deliberately only releasing one name at a time, but it can't be long before the big reveal.

So polish off your Cuban heels and slip into something tight and sparkly, it's almost here!

They really shouldn't have Jive in the first few weeks, it's a bloody hard dance. It's certainly the one I struggle with the most.

Steve did well. Hurrah! He may stay in for a while. DS1 just said Steve will stay in for a while because all the kids will ask their mums to vote for him. I told him I didn't think the mums would need much prompting. I just said: "come on Claudia, send him round in his sparkly vest now he's done" and DH said "send 'em both round." The Steve/Ola pairing pleases both of us.

Irish woman was just awful. Poor Tristan.

Posture needs a lot of work, quite hunched, but footwork not bad and he managed a few heel leads!

He looks like taken doll

glenthebattleostrich · 27/09/2014 19:46

Not taken, ken. Stoopid autocorrect

digerd · 27/09/2014 19:47

That was charming. Too much gapping though.

CocktailQueen · 27/09/2014 19:47

Very impressed by Steve!! Wasn't sure what to expect, but v good timing and attitude - if a scary face!!

Oh.....um not sure about him.

Brenda is annoying but you can't deny he's an exciting dancer. . The hospital start is a bit cheesy

I hate all the props bits at the beginning-unnecessary.

Marshy · 27/09/2014 19:54

I agree Frankel - rubbish music for such a fab dance. She did ok though I think

Brendan's hand position is very telling. She was quite stompy when out of hold, definitely needs to take a deep breath and relax a bit.

All the themed music is annoying Angry . She was a bit clompy too but loved her dress [shallow]

Minimammoth · 27/09/2014 19:56

Yes why can't they pick so thing that sounds tango y. Who chooses?

Marshy · 27/09/2014 19:56

Tango must be such a hard dance for the first one

Minimammoth · 27/09/2014 19:58

Am enjoying Claidias naughtiness.

Olbas · 27/09/2014 19:58

Top chef !! I don't think so

From what I understand the producers give the pro dancers a list of music and they choose which to use. In my opinion you need traditional music for both Tango and Paso, anything else is just wrong Grin
