KEEP DANCING

Oh Shaun. As a City fan, I was prepared to overlook a lot, but I’m sadly disappointed!

Oh my eyes!

Ok anyone else slightly distracted there by Sean's pants?

Yikes 1 from Craig

Oh dear that was not very good at all. I expected more after he said he danced a lot at home. But his movement is awfully wooden.

Absolutely. It’s a hard watch, you don’t want to feel uncomfortable watching them.

Yes. Very odd. Strange fit.

Shaun's trousers were very distracting 😬

Male footballers can never dance, he isn't the exception to the rule!

Feel like the costume department copped out a little on this one.

Footballers all seem to dance the same - Paul Merson style.

Is this going to be one who has non viewing fans voting him in week after week? Or not that popular?

Usually sporty ones are pretty good.

I didn’t notice Sean at all, I just couldn’t not watch Alexis

His dad is Ian Wright but not sure he lives up to his dad's popularity.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit btw - paid the cat tax on page 10. Well, two thirds of it.

Oh, the trousers are bad, but I just spotted the shoes!

You must have forgotten Victoria Pendleton and Iwan Thomas.

Hmm, maybe sporty people should stick to sports then ! Lol

Jeez jojo is dreadful

I'm actually enjoying Emma and Josh together.

Em and Josh ! They are funny.

If they are cricketers or rugby players. Male footballers not so much.

Completely missed it. Oh well!

Jo Jo will improve. It’s all new isn’t it. I’m sure he’ll get better over time.
