KEEP DANCING

Lacey is good. Is she a bit of a ringer?

This all reminds me of when they used to have the show “I’d do anything” and similar - lee mead, Connie booth, Jody prenger -
when you went to see the winners in the west end shows they just weren’t superstar enough at the end of the day

She’s no novice!

Lacey looks incredible & she did really well 😍

I knew she’d be good but nearly all the soap people have been dance trained one way or another, haven’t they…?

Love JoJo as a dancer but he's not doing well as a presenter although it's early days. Not convinced by Josh either.

Does anyone remember when Richard and Judy left This Morning which everyone called Richard and Judy back then? They had I think it was Twiggy and Coleen Nolan was it? And they were so awful when the next two came in, it gave them a chance, whereas if they had followed R&J they would have struggled. I have a feeling that is what the Beeb is doing with Strictly.

I miss the Andrew Lloyd Webber shows to find a star.
It wasn’t a bad format. Made a few people stars as well.

Great legs tbf, looked good

I don't watch Eastenders but I really like her.

Lacey was great. How ringy is she?

Jojo is so wooden

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit
Ive been joined... (live shot)

She dropped out of stage school after really not very long.

Enjoyed that one

Lacey is good at Stacey Slater , Ice skater ( if you know you know 😉

Really liked this

'Love JoJo as a dancer but he's not doing well as a presenter although it's early days'

He is terrible, so forced and awks and sorry if already mentioned but what is he wearing?

Not as much as Lawrence or The one whose name I keep forgetting...the Brummie .

I really like lacey and thought that was good...yes she will have had some dance training but surely not loads on this type of dance? Same for jamie maybe?

Yeah but don’t you think they fell flat - don’t think any of them stars..it all fell a bit flat

Sorry that was rubbish. Why such high scores!

Interesting theory. Maybe next year we’ll get Emma and Zoe 🤞

I dont watch Eastenders, to me shes Molly from Our Girl. Loved her she did well.

Emma looks insane with the tan 🤩

Oh, his the hairdresser man.
His nice
