Dave In Training: I’m very happy I have the quickstep this week as it’s possibly one of my favourite dances as I prefer the faster Ballroom dances. I’m struggling a bit with all the foot work but Ola and I seem to have sorted it out!
Dancing the Quickstep to ‘I’ll Be There For You’, please welcome Dave Berry & Ola Jordan....
What will our panel of four score?
Craig: 7
Kylie: 8
Adam: 7
Karen: 7
Total: 29
*Dave smiles and the pair hug and Dave thanks the judges and reminds the public to vote*
Jo In Training: I loved the quickstep as Pasha and I had a lot of fun on the stage but I’m glad we have a slower dance as I can concentrate more. The dance is a lot more in hold which allows Pasha to hold me and I can gaze into him as the dance is very romantic.
Dancing the Foxtrot to ‘What’s Yesterday’, please welcome Jo Frost & Pasha Kovalev....
Let’s see what the scores are....
Craig: 5
Kylie: 6
Adam: 6
Karen: 5
Total: 22
*Jo seems a bit disappointed but Pasha and Jo hug and Jo thanks the judges*
Barney In Training: Being able to learn the foxtrot was a great experience and I’m very happy I get to learn how to dance a Quickstep! I love all the fast footwork and the speediness of it! It’s a bit tricky at times but Natalie and I have worked very hard and I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved!
Dancing the Quickstep to ‘Take on Me’, please welcome Barney Harwood & Natalie Lowe...
What did the judges think of that?
Craig: 7
Kylie: 8
Adam: 8
Karen: 7
Total: 30
*Barney grins as he hugs Natalie and says he’s thrilled with his score*
Owen In Training: I wasn’t too excited when I found out we had the Cha Cha Cha as it’s very fast and I wasn’t sure whether I could keep up with Chelsie but after training I think we’ve achieved a lot and hopefully everything goes as well as planned on the dance floor as I’m not ready to leave!
Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to 'Dance With Me', please welcome Owen Brenman & Chelsie Hightower...
What will our fearsome foursome score?
Craig: 2
Kylie: 4
Adam: 4
Karen: 3
Total: 13
*Owen frowns and says he’s loving the experience and doesn’t want to go home*
Jenny In Training: I think our quickstep went really well, Anton was very happy and so was I! It was a shame to only get a score of 14 but I think our foxtrot is much, much better so I hoping to break the 20 barrier which will give me a chance to make it through to next week!
Dancing the Foxtrot to ‘A Wink And A Smile’, please welcome Jenny Eclair & Anton Du Beke...
And what will Jenny’s score be?
Craig: 6
Kylie: 6
Adam: 6
Karen: 6
Total: 24
*Jenny says she’s really, really happy with her score and hugs*
Cat In Training: 29 for a week 1 quickstep is very good, well Derek thinks so which makes me really excited for this week as training for the waltz is going well. I love the magic of the waltz and I’m very happy I get to learn such a beautiful dance with such a great teacher.
Dom In Training: Admittedly, the foxtrot didn’t go as well as I hoped but I was still pleased with the score as I didn’t expect much better from the harsh judges! I am struggling with the Cha Cha Cha but Iveta has been taking it slow and I’ve just managed to keep up!
Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to ‘Bills’, please welcome Dom Parker & Iveta Lukosuite....
Let’s go to our judges!
Craig: 3
Kylie: 5
Adam: 5
Karen: 4
Total: 17
*Dom frowns but hopes that he can survive to next week*
Tina In Training: Last week couldn’t have gone better, the quickstep went very well and the scores were very good and I left the stage feeling very positive for this week! The waltz has been an interesting dance to learn and but I do prefer the faster and livelier dances but hopefully I can do just as well!
Dancing the Waltz to ‘Have You Ever’, please welcome Tina Barrett & Trent Whiddon....
Let’s find out the penultimate score of the night!
Craig: 7
Kylie: 8
Adam: 8
Karen: 8
Total: 31
*Tina smiles and thanks the judges for such wonderful scores*
Lee In Training: The foxtrot was a very exciting dance and topping the Leaderboard was incredible and I hope to be able to do it again! Kristina and I have put in a lot of effort into our Cha Cha Cha and I can’t wait to show it!
Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to ‘Lips Are Movin’, please welcome Lee Latchford-Evans & Kristina Rihanoff...
And the final score of the night is...
Craig: 7
Kylie: 8
Adam: 8

Total: 30

So Eve, Cat & Lee are resting near the top with Tina, June & Barney not far below. Dave rests in 7th, Jo in 8th with Ortis below in 9th. A joint score of 39 puts Rachel in 10th with Dom and Jenny just below. Owen is sadly in 13th whilst Mr Balls is sat at the bottom. All could change with your votes as Lines are now open!
To vote rank the couples from 14 (Fave) to 1 (Least Fave) and PM me by 8PM on Sunday (12th)!
Welcome to Strictly IV: Into The Groove - The results show! Yesterday our 14 couples danced for your votes but sadly it's time for 14 to become 13! As well as the results we have a lovely guest performance from Years & Years.
Owen: I am rather gutted to leave at such an early stage and it's a shame that my experience has come to such a short end but I've really enjoyed working with Chelsie.
Chelsie: Owen's been alright to work with.
Rachel is therefore safe! Join us next Saturday where 13 couples will become 12!
