Is Blackpool REALLY Such a big deal for dancers? I don't get it, they're talking like it's like MAdison Square Gardens or something!

I thought Blackpool week was always the same as Children in Need because they needed the set.

Tell us more!

Oh. 😟I only know their Strictly persona ofc.

Nikita has made me go all befuddled. Half of me thinks "put it away" and the other half thinks "holy schizzle sticks! 😍"

He looks a bondage Ken doll.

Might be a bit outing.

Isn’t there a third sister, also in dance? I’m sure I’ve heard Oti talk about her dancing sisters rather than sister.

Fingers crossed for Balvinder tonight. I’d love for her to get a couple of great weeks that keep her out of the dance off seeing as she’s been in the bottom two so many times already.

He was on ITT on Wednesday Vicky Gill was doing his costume reveal she had a perfectly acceptable vest but he wanted his chest on show !

I think so. I think the World Championship finals are often there and have been since year dot donut has a long and illustrious history.

Wait, what?!

Yes, they all did Gogglebox once.

The song doesn’t work

I know a couple of people from the ballroom dancing world, and children who've competed there, and it is a very special place for all of them.

There was a lot of walking in that…

They've hung Balvinder out to dry.

Not the most elegant lifts but that was quite cute.

I thought that was charming but I always like Bal and never understand why she is always bottom two. She is very light on her feet.

My mum half worries he’ll get a chill. The bit of me that remembers being 17 doesn’t care.

That was very nice and sweet and utterly forgettable.

I thought that got better towards the end.

The lifts were clunky at the start.

A charming routine but maybe a bit awkward occasionally. I enjoyed it.

Yeah a bit over neat and tidy.

Nice enough but possibly not memorable enough and she might be at risk from lower votes as the judges tend to start giving higher votes towards the end of the night.
