Previous thread here.

Remember as always this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD.

DH has gone off muttering "How much longer?" and I can't say I blame him...

Vito is very sweet.

Will didn’t look very happy at being told he is trying too hard

Can't the personal waffle just be for the celebrities and not for boring the viewers with?

Gorks and Gemma did Xmas Strictly a few years ago. She was too tall for him.

Fleur totally overmarked

Love this song

Woohoo, bit of Self-Esteem playing in the back of Helen and gorka’s VT 😍

Me too!

Go Helen !!!!

Helen looks incredible

Well done Helen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow Helen.

Wasn’t keen on that. Her legs didn’t feel staccato enough.

Good Babywarz there young 'un [awards ]

She's done it, final for sure

Yes, Helen. Really liked that although she forgot to stompy walk towards the end and then remembered

Yep she looks amazing!!! Liked that

Not convincing for me. Lacked passion.

She looks stunning

Not my cup of tea. I didn't like her solo bit at the beginning.

Helen looked fantastic. But the dance (like that version of the song, weirdly) lacked staccato and snap. She looked tentative.

Love that dress. I watched that all the way through. I just wish she'd pointed her toes more!

Going to throw Helen a couple of votes

That was the best dance of the night for me! Helen's dress is gorgeous. Music whiny and wispy as usual.
