Ha that was like watching Fred Astaire and Gene Kelley!

WelshFionaThePlasticSurgeryGorgon · 09/12/2023 20:33

Oh I'm not a Layton fan but I loved that.

greencheetah · 09/12/2023 20:33

Obviously that was fantastic.

RINGER!!!

Grumio · 09/12/2023 20:33

Wow. I'm no Layton fan but that was incredible. He out-danced Nikita.

DontBeAPrickDarren · 09/12/2023 20:33

A very athletic Charleston but it didn’t make me laugh like the best ones have. It was very stagey (unsurprisingly).

the80sweregreat · 09/12/2023 20:33

That was fab u Lous

Ellmau · 09/12/2023 20:33

Very West End, lots of fun, very slightly out of sync in places, and the cartwheels were a bit clumsy.

Piggywaspushed · 09/12/2023 20:33

That was in the spirit of Singin In The Rain, to be fair.

Excellent, I thought.

Ibizabar · 09/12/2023 20:33

That's how you do it!

Absolutely loved that.

chaosmaker · 09/12/2023 20:33

but they weren't in time.

Exactly - I thought it looked v scrappy at times... but what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

januaryjan · 09/12/2023 20:33

That was so good it was bananas.

TheShellBeach · 09/12/2023 20:33

They really weren't in time and they put some daft things in it.

Inkanta · 09/12/2023 20:34

Bobby is winner material - there is a lot of feeling in his dancing. I like what Dianne said there - Bobby bringing back her love of dancing.

LunaNorth · 09/12/2023 20:34

LOVED it!

pickledandpuzzled · 09/12/2023 20:34

You really see the difference in precision when they are side by side. Nikita has a sharpness Layton lacks.

WelshFionaThePlasticSurgeryGorgon · 09/12/2023 20:34

A 10 from Craig coming?

TellingBone · 09/12/2023 20:34

That reminded me of Torvill and Dean's Barnum ice dance. Or Donald O'Connor in Singin' in the Rain.

Gooseysgirl · 09/12/2023 20:34

No it's not Craig 🙄

AnneShirleysNewDress · 09/12/2023 20:34

They got all the showy stuff right but, yet again, they were out of time with each other.

ThursdayLastWeek · 09/12/2023 20:34

Now THATS what I’ve been waiting for Layton to do! That was great because he used his skill to dance the actual dance and I loved it!

Angrycat2768 · 09/12/2023 20:34

I loved that! I mean, it should have been good, as Charleston is a very 'showbiz' dance, and Layton is nothing if not Showbiz. It was really entertaining.

Minimammoth · 09/12/2023 20:34

They do deserve a medal for the effort they’ve put in, fair play.

chaosmaker · 09/12/2023 20:34

Craig is obsessed with Layton.

the80sweregreat · 09/12/2023 20:34

If Craig says it's ok, then it was !!
Craig never lies

Aren't daft things meant to be in a Charleston??
