It was Anthea Turner and Diane-Louise Jordan in my day

IScreamMonday · 17/12/2022 21:17

Feel like this is the first time I've seen Johannes actually dance

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 17/12/2022 21:18

At last an arm hankie!

pinneddownbytabbies · 17/12/2022 21:18

Nothing beats Fosse

Seconded.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 17/12/2022 21:18

Hamza got found out tonight - I’ve never quite got the hype. Fleur absolutely brought her A game but want Helen to run as a non-dancer is what Strictly is all about

Helen's a tap dancing teacher, so I have read.

I loved Kym's Argentine Tango. I thought she should have been in the final.

I was so disappointed when she was voted off. I always felt that the judges, especially Shirley, just didn't like her.

Egghead68 · 17/12/2022 21:18

Why aren’t Rose and Giovanni doing the reigning champions’ dance?

I thought they were pushing Fleur earlier.

Show quote history

Oh, Fleur is my favourite but I still think it looks like Helen will win, hence the "sadly".

Same. Will and Kym were my favourites.

GrouchyKiwi · 17/12/2022 21:19

Kym's AT was gorgeous.

BessieSurtees · 17/12/2022 21:19

Hamza has not been the best in this competition and especially not tonight. He may be light on his feet but he doesn’t actually do a lot.

They did it on the first episode back.

I didn't like Helen's CC before and I don't like it now. She's been very skilfully marketed as downtrodden and shy and brought to life by Strictly.

I agree with you on this. All this stuff about how Helen has “got her confidence back”, or something. She has never seemed like she lacked confidence to me - I mean, look at all the stuff she’s done in her life! Just because her weasel of a husband cheated on her doesn’t mean she’s become some helpless little woman. It’s just a cliché for the press.

They did it in the opening show. I think the one where they all got partnered up.

ArcaneWireless · 17/12/2022 21:19

Someone has done their bright blue face eyeshadow in the dark.

Ha ha ha, to give you a taste of my vintage, former Strictly star, Sophie Ellis Bextor, was in her mum Janet's tummy when I was watching Blue Peter!

Show quote history

Me too! I first saw Sophie in about 1997 and without anyone telling me who she was I just KNEW she was related to Janet!

ShakeYourFeathers · 17/12/2022 21:19

What is Jayde wearing in this VT?

Kym's AT was gorgeous.

It really was.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Fleur is basically trying to be Janet Jackson in that last dance. Never been a fan of JJ, maybe that's why I can't warm to Fleur?

I was getting Diana Ross vibes.

Piggywaspushed · 17/12/2022 21:20

DH fancied that BP with the annoying voice. Square face. Can't remember her name now.

Also Caron Keating.

Van96 · 17/12/2022 21:20

Fleur without doubt best dancer. Wouldn't mind it going to Hamza though. But Helen totally over-rated. Set up to win with sympathy vote and being given final dance

Willmafrockfit · 17/12/2022 21:20

another john noakes, valerine singleton and peter pervis blue peter, vintage

I really liked her too!

PrincessScarlett · 17/12/2022 21:20

Group dance!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 17/12/2022 21:21

Yes! I was Caron Keating and Yvette Fielding era too. I only used to see a few minutes before Neighbours
