He had a calf injury @dollybird.

I didn't know that. I'll let him off 😀

Didn’t know about Nigel’s calf injury either.
I just love Katya’s choreography and think they are hot together. Ellie and Vito another fab couple… hope both in final 👯

I think Ellie is emerging as my favourite, with Nigel a close second. Also love Krishnan. I like Angela S, but not a fan of Carlos.

I think that's what makes the show great though, it would potentially be a disaster if it was a whole show of total non dancers.

The variety of having previous dance experience stars has given us some amazing routines over the years.

Yes, and dunno about the rest of you but I watch it ‘cos I love dance and want to see good dances by good dancers. I tolerate the non-dancers in the knowledge they’ll be out of there soon. I have no tolerance for the “comedy” dancers like Widdecombe and Sergeant and I hate the idiots who vote for them week after week. It’s never those dances that I search for on youtube.

You do make a good point there actually @covetingthepreciousthings because I agree that seeing 12 Les Dennises would be extremely boring! I think when the Love Islander (forget her name) goes this this week then the competition will really ramp up.

Is Fleur dressed as Dennis the Menace or Freddie Krueger?

The stylist hates her.

Fleur often looks a mess and Janette wears some horrors. I miss Zoe Ball's enviable trousers/jeans and sparkly jumper combos.

I wish they did the judges choice dance on the Sunday show where the judges choose the best dance of the night to watch again.

Also just to add to the point about non dancers, I think having those with dance experience also really helps the pro's shine, I bet they probably all secretly love having ringers if it means they can really push their celeb.

I've really loved seeing some of the pros be able to show their ability - for example Nikita this series stands out for me.

On ITT it looks like there are some great dances coming tomorrow night- I thought Krishnan, Ellie and Layton looked particularly strong (and Layton has a great song again).

And dear God Nikita does things to me. I feel like this series has been his chance to shine. I appreciated his pretty face before, but always thought of him as a bit bland - but actually he increasingly comes across as just so energetic, lovely and slightly chaotic too and so freaking hot 🔥

Well yes that is true. I still moon about Danny Mac (on a weekly basis, probably annoying the rest of you) but I can't say I get the same urge to watch Ed Balls Gangnam Style or Scott Mills dressed as a lobster.

I always enjoy the ringers most, vote for them and rewatch their videos. Except this year. I don't want 15 contestants like Zara.

Amanda’s partner posted another cryptic message on his insta …either speak up or shut up.

What’s with all the cryptic posts he’s looking like a plank, either say it or move on.

What has he said? I don’t have Instagram.

If anyone has instagram Nikita has posted a spoof version of MTVs Welcome to My Crib ahead of their routine tonight

I'm hoping he's going to be a vampire.

I've looked at Amanda's partners instagram and can't see anything? Just a recommendation for watching a tv show they did.

He posted it on Thursday it only stays on a day as it wasn’t a grid post.

it has been picked up by the papers so he got publicity…

A picture of an iceberg and words about not seeing what is underneath.

He’s becoming a nuisance alluding but not saying …

I don't think I'll ever get over Danny Mac not winning , he was sheer perfection! I could watch all his dances, particularly his paso, over and over again. I don't think we'll ever have another male contestant like him..although Jay was a close second!

I rewatch Alexandra and Gorka a lot, especially their Proud Mary jive and paso.

This is beginning to annoy me now. Disrespectful to the great pro that is Gio. Dance or don't dance, but stop dropping pointless hints.

Hadn't realised Gio has delayed the launch of his lifestyle brand..

That was brilliant!

I agree, @Lentilweaver . It seems very unfair and unnecessary.
