Do you mean Nina? Nadia is still in with Dan?

Yes, I mean Nina! I keep scrambling her first and surnames into Nadia 🤦‍♀️

Are Robert and dianne definately dancing to the muppet theme? I was hoping I nught be lifes a happy song from the muppets!

God yes, the women need better bras. Keep expecting a Janet Jackson style wardrobe malfunction. Oti's bosom deserves better than a cushion strapped to it.

But Oti has amazing support! I've commented on it to DD on several occasions. Why do the rest not have such robust scaffolding?

Perhaps Oti sources her own undergarments and wardrobe just attach the costume over the top?! The Mabuse ladies are very blessed in that department and I imagine, given their competitive careers, know exactly what works for them!

Thankfully, for the dancers, it's been a long time since a real wardrobe malfunction - from memory I think Jill Halfpenny's dress getting caught on her heel in the Jive and Lilia Kopylova dancing a Samba whilst holding up her snapped bra strap are the worst. I don't think Karen Hardy getting tangled up in the mic wire during the Salsa quite qualifies as it wasn't that there was something wrong with the dress itself.

Didn’t Caroline Flack get her dress caught in her heel or trip on her dress at one point?

Someone got caught in feather boa - one of Anton's partners I think.

I thought it would be Greg to go. He's such a luvvie it's a cringe fest! I see he's a book out at the minute so assume this is part of the PR for it.

Ah yes, wasn't that Nancy?

@BeaLola

We have decided that Kai looks like he belongs in Heartbeat, Goodnight Sweetheart or Call the Midwife or crossing the pond The Maltese Falcon

That is it He embodies old school elegance. I like Kai

Didn't Chelsee Healey have a very embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that really unsettled her, when her dress strap failed?

Oti is a Bravissimo girl

I'm now seeing ads for very robust brassieres.

I think wardrobe are now binding Oti's boobs rather than dressing them. In the past she has been well supported but she looks v top heavy and this season. Along with Tilly, Judi, Sara et al.

For those who like Kai he has been a professional dancer on the Irish dwts for years. He won it with his partner last year. Lovely guy delighted to see he got on the bigger strictly production

Yes Kai seems like a gentleman from another era

I think Natalie also had a nip slip moment! And didn't Pamela Anderson?

kai seems nice but those teeth! If you can only afford to get the top 8 done then don't bother.

She stomped through it and just didn't do it well. Lots of people have gone on out on a week where they got a "not their dance" to do.

I agree. I said on my not Monkseal by 100000 miles blog she looked like a miffed mum who had just found 26 plates under her teen's bed.

I think Natalie also had a nip slip moment! And didn't Pamela Anderson?

Pamela did, but on Dancing on Ice, when she then went out in week 1!

Janette had a dress malfunction with Ranj and dealt with it beautifully

(0.58)

Dianne certainly had the idea for Simpsons but didn't choreo - that was Tommy Franzen and Lizzie Gough I think (lest we hold it against them, they also did Bill, Jamie, Stacey, Chucky etc)

iklboo give us the link, either here or pm - happy to support a fellow mnetter/stan if you'd like more views.

aah also a bit of twerking in there n'est-ce pas?

Neil was pulling a few frank spencer 'ooh Betty' faces throughout the tango ! Not really surprised they went. It wasn't very sexy !!

@SequinsandStiIettos - oooh thank you. It's very silly & lighthearted. I do it for fun.

ONE RINGER TO RULE THEM ALL

Very impressed iklboo - it must take ages to do. Kudos. I very much enjoyed the Chris Hoy joke. You made me laugh, thank you
