    Comment Amy - You took a risk but I'm not sure it paid off. The song didn't really have that Paso feel to it, it felt as though you were trying to channel Louis Smith's Paso a little

    And that gives David and Camilla a score of 19/40

    Dancing the foxtrot to Tko (boxing day) by Elvis Costello please welcome back Mitch and Erin

    Comment Jamie - This song just doesn't resemble a Foxtrot in any shape or form, I'm afraid. Better luck next time




    And that gives Mitch and Erin a score of 16/40 for the foxtrot

    Comment Amy - The song went absolutely nowhere and didn't sound like a Paso Doble. I'm sorry but you will have to hope that you get the votes tonight

    And that paso doble gives Ash and Iveta a score of 15/40

    Performing the foxtrot to The Tidy Up Song' by Big Cook, Little Cook it is Izzie and Artem

    Comment Amy - Seriously? This is meant to be a Foxtrot? It's not and you know it, or at least I hope you do.


    And that gives Izzie and Artem a score of 13/40 for the foxtrot

    Comment Jamie - I wasn't expecting to like this, but it actually worked fairly well. The story to it was strong, although I didn't like the slower section so much


    That gives James and Katya a score of 19/40 for the paso doble

    Comment Amy - I can see where you were going with this, but it only really starts with the chorus - it took a little while to get going.

    And that foxtrot gives Dean and Ola a score of 25/40

    Comment Ross - Wow, this sort of worked as a credible paso doble. At times it was agressive and intimidating, everything a paso should be


    That gives Toni and Brendan a score of 23/40 for the paso doble

    Comment Ross - A great choice for a paso. There wasn't much aggression or drama but it was very speedy and full of energy. The best Paso of the night by a mile.

    I think my creativity is misunderstood. I, personally, don't understand what's wrong with a washing-up themed Foxtrot.

    You're always moaning about 'originality'. ;)
