Last thread here.

All ready for tonight's episode

If she can't dance again surely she won't be up for training this week. Will she get a pass for next week or have to pull out?

No it hasn't and I find it quite grating.

Has it been explained why Judge Rinder is being referred to as "Judge" in all the announcements and not "Robert"? They've never done it to any other contestant that I can recall.

Don't they do it with DJs? Like DJ Spoony they called him DJ Spoony all the way through?

Hmm...this strikes me as unfair

David Cameron will be on next year!

Claudia's heels. Wow.

I missed exactly what they said about the dance off. Why didn't they do it? i know Anasatcia was injured but Anthony had todance last time with his shoulder.

What is Anastacia's injury please - I missed that?

Maybe they could have withdrawn her from the process and then a dance off between the next bottom two if that makes sense

wow - torn the scar tissue from her mastectomy it seems

and again...the Ed Balls face of NO encouragement. ahahahahaha!!

Very unfair. Melvin is out without the chance of a dance off. Anastasia should have withdrawn.

What an awful way to have to leave. I doubt Anastacia's got another week in her anyway.

Poor Ed I suspect his partner is more irritating than David Cameron

I think that was unfair. If you're too unfit to dance then you should leave not stay and hope for a sympathy vote next time. You're either fit to compete and stay or you're not and leave.

Ooh - that sounds awful. I am wondering myself whether she can carry on.

I think Anastasia should have withdrawn too. She won't be up to any of the more energetic dances and runs the risk of hurting herself badly I would have thought.

Feel quite sorry for Melvin. He wasn't great but not as bad as some in the past. Standard is so high this year.
Wonder how Anastacia will cinque as that doesn't sound like an injury that will heal quickly. Would be a shame if she had to quit.

I think Ed was on the verge of eye rolling about his partners excitability:o

Anastacia should have withdrawn and let Melvin go through. If she's not fit enough to dance-off she's not fit enough for a gruelling week of training.

That said, full respect to her for not revealing the nature of her injury prior to the vote in order to gain public sympathy. Amazing woman.

If the injury only happened in rehearsals before the live show she probably hadn't had a chance to be fully medically assessed. I imagine she's been in a hospital most of today being thoroughly checked over.

James Jordan is tweeting that you "could" fake an injury to avoid being in the dance off

He really is such a tool isn't he

Thats a shame. He wasnt that great, and he was second bottom of the leader board but I like Janette! Yes, what will happen if Anastacia has to withdraw anyway?

I agree, how can she train injured. Presumably Will has recovered.

I haven't quite recovered from finding out that he's one of the new faces of Anne Summers!
