KEEP DANCING

Omelette, I believe.

no!!! She rabbits really fast and is not funny at all!!

hard to top Claudia

I am expecting Melanie to have some good moves

She knows she won’t last long, but fair play it wasn’t too bad.

She seems lovely but this dance isn’t great.

That mouth thing again. I so hate it

That was pretty decent.

Ooo they even changed when they thank the band 😂😂

I was expecting some good moves......

Might give Melanie a vote!

Oh dear, she needs to tone down the facial expressions and the moves were a little stumpy. I'm hoping she will go on a "journey".

She wasn't great.

Yes, I agree, and I think they’re going to keep mixing it up until it falls into place.

I did not enjoy that at all. Dull

Emma seems sorta quiet.

She was like a Pound Shop Bonnie Langford, sadly.

I have not been TAKEN with anyone yet

Yes agree

That was dull

Ouch!

If Claudia was really asked to leave, I agree, what was the BBC thinking of. She is so charming and witty. Hard to replace.

Wonder if Dani Dyer is closing the show?

None of them have settled yet. It’s probably really hard to be good first dance.
I would be lucky to get a 2 from Craig ! 😆

I am following rather than commenting but talk of the TV musical shows has got me thinking, do any of you remember the show I think that was BBC where it was normal people competing. They already had a dance specialism I think but the competition meant they had to do different dances each week. All Google comes up with is come dancing and I really don't think it was that! I am guessing it would have been late 90s, maybe early 00's.

She wasn’t. She went by choice. She has Traitors.
