Yep, I agree squares. Natalie does him no favours whatsoever.
Caught AT on itvplayer earlier. Not a huge reponse for the favourite that's for sure. |

anyone know for sure what Craig is dancing? I've seen reports of the cha cha but surely he had done that before?

BBC Jade Johnson and Ian Waite have been rowing about their Strictly Come Dancing jive routine, say reports. According to The Sun, Johnson has struggled to pick up the dance moves and the pair have had "cross words". "Jade is a really strong personality. She's in it to win it and she won't accept second best from herself - or Ian," said an insider. "They are getting very frustrated and Jade is used to picking things up much more quickly than this. There have been a lot of cross words and everything has got a bit emotional." A BBC source added: "They are falling out, but they always make up. Everything looks effortless on the dancefloor but in reality it's a long and hard slog. Being a contestant on Strictly is not an easy ride whether you're a celebrity or a professional." Johnson and Waite scored their highest mark in the series for their foxtrot last weekend. |

Hollyoaks co-stars Ricky Whittle and Carley Stenson have ended their two-year relationship, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal. The pair have been dating since October 2007 but recently decided to call time on their romance and remain close friends. A Hollyoaks spokesperson confirmed to DS: "Carley Stenson and Ricky Whittle have announced their decision to separate. The pair remain good friends but do not wish to comment any further." Whittle - who plays Calvin Valentine in the Channel 4 soap - is currently competing in BBC One annual reality contest Strictly Come Dancing and is enduring a gruelling schedule to fulfil both commitments. |

Huge effort from Tuffers:
Phil Tufnell has announced that he is giving up boozing to increase his chances of capturing the Strictly Come Dancing crown, says a report. The cricketer, who is famous for his hellraising antics, told reporters that he was making a change of lifestyle to give him a shot at winning the BBC dance contest. He told reporters that he is giving up late nights to concentrate on his training for the reality TV show. Phil told The Sun: "I'm staying off the sauce and getting early nights. "By the time I get home after training I'm so tired I want to go to bed." Tufnell said that he has almost made a full recovery following a recent operation to mend some damage to his knee. He said: "The knee's a bit sore but it's all right." Phil told the newspaper that he was looking forward to performing his new routine with professional partner Katya in Blackpool. He added: "I'm doing the rumba, the dance of love. So I have to be bit sexy." |

Excellent stuff from Phil.
He was saying all the right things on ITT too. His Rumba looked OK too. Ali top for me. The VW looks the perfect dance for her. Nat's QS looked shocking and would be a decent bet for bottom if the judges didn't give her 6's and 7's just for turning up. |
|
By:
Katya looked mighty fine on ITT too :)
I hope TM didn't miss her. |
|
By:
yeah agree with Ali, and think they'll want to give her a decent score too
|
|
By:
Tuffers well up with the training hours this week, RickyW the slacker!
|
|
By:
Aye, Ricky W has been on twitter all week moaning about his work schedule.
With that in mind Ali looks as even better bet for Top scorer Laila not looking great and despite the positive comments from Ian I wasn't that impressed. 7/2 with WH looks tasty. |
|
By:
The positive comments about Jade's Jive, that is *
|
|
By:
oh wow - Katya. What a honey! Agree re. Ali - good bet for top score.
|
|
By:
Was she naked?
|
|
By:
Not quite. The plunging neckline took my eye though
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mgww Their interview is in the last 5 mins. |
|
By:
Oh, nice bit of cleavage
|
|
By:
Yea Ali is a 36 minimum IMO, just depends what Ricky does but much prefer to be taking the price on Ali.
|
|
By:
I am not convinced that Ali can do a a good VW. Her best dances have been slow ballroom. The VW is a quik dance and she is prone to mistakes! I think RW has it nailed this week, given Laila is doing Latin and Jade the Jive.Only 4 good dancers so it is a two horse race!

I haven't seen Craig on POG show this week, so will this be tonight?
Kelly: 'I won't make Strictly final' Friday, November 6 2009, 09:41 GMT By Alex Fletcher, Senior Entertainment Reporter Kelly: 'I won't make Strictly final' BBC Craig Kelly has claimed that there is no chance that he will make the Strictly Come Dancing final. The Coronation Street actor, who is partnered by Flavia Cacace, will perform a cha cha cha this weekend when the show takes place from his hometown of Blackpool. Speaking on today's Paul O'Grady show, he said: "I'm happy because I won't make the final. I'm just okay and the others are great. "I am so happy to be going to Blackpool this weekend though. It was my absolute goal to make it there." Kelly also revealed that at the start of the series he was optimistic about his dancing potential because his grandma was an expert ballroom dancer. "My mum told me that our gran was a great ballroom dancer in her time. I thought, 'great, I've got a bit of a chance then'," he said. "I thought I'd be much better than I am. Just goes to show doesn't it?" |
|
By:
he'll get more votes than Ricky W this week now :)
|
|
By:
I still think Craig has decent chance of escaping bottom 2 as his cha cha cha will likely be panned, so the Blackpool fans will rally round him for sure. I see Nat as definite bottom 2 material this week.

By:
Rumours has it Whittle has ditched his hollyoaks' girlfriend and is now dating his dance partner. But they do not want to make it official until after the show series, it might affect their 'popularity'. He is doomed I say, DOOMED!
|
|
By:
DS - getting plenty of mileage out of this. Some reckon he's copped off with Alesha.
|
|
By:
He's certainly looked a lot happier over the last week or so!

Who is DS?

Digital Spy. A home for the rent-a-cause mob.

If he's sorting out Alesha that should be automatic disqualification. That would be like Stacey or Lucie n*shing off Cowell.
