Strictly 2025 : Week Five. Can anything be as Iconic as the Tess/Claude duo? NO SPOILERS. 18.25PM

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Getting it ready early as I am out this afternoon.

KEEP DANCING

I quite liked it.

AT should be hot, this was dullesville.
Not a great week so far.
This wasn't good, Cheryl-lite awful...

Just realised that Shirley is Jailhouse Rock Elvis

I loved it ! And 🤷‍♀️ to whoever said Usher isn’t an icon

At 76 years old! I can dream of being like that.

Not from the judges but maybe not getting the public vote because some people are confusing her with her Eastenders character who is pretty unlikeable.

And not in a iconic villain unlikeable way, Suki is just a bit bland and lacking any charm

I thought Craig was Janis Joplin!

I don't know why but every time Shirley says 'lady' I wither a little

Agree - if it’s icons week then it was right on theme. What’s the point of a theme week if it doesn’t combine the two. His best dance for me.

Maybe I didn’t get it because I’m a bit ‘Usher, who?’.

Nice to see harry covered up for a change

Yes indeed

Gives me the ick.

that's so nice his parents are there. :)

Good scores. Well done, Harry!

There’s a lady in a white skirt sat behind Tess’s position who is in danger of showing a bit more than she may have intended 🙈

I love the red on the back of his waistcoat. Wardrobe have been kind to them tonight

Very mixed voting!

Motsi’s reminder to Shirley that they were dancing to Usher was on point. If the producers want the celebs to dance numbers to music which isn’t a natural fit the judges need to acknowledge that in the comments.

I think Motsi’s comments were spot on.

Maybe because I don't know the song (and don't know who Usher is) but I found Harry's dance boring.

Have a look at the halftime show from the superbowl when it was his year and you’ll see the vibe.

can’t believe Karen hasn’t done an AT in 13 years!

That’s a lot of strapping on Nikita’s leg. Hope he’s ok

But where does that stop? There are people with a dance history and people who have never danced before - if everyone’s ability was factored into the scores it would be ridiculous.

Lose the pink hat, Nikita!

9 was too high. Nikita channelling the Flumps there.
