Fantastic news olivej

Thanks olivej.

CIN is 15th November so its a bit odd to be rehearsing this early. Harry won it with Ola so again it would seem odd if they brought Harry back with Aliona, although Aliona might train him for a dance with Ola.
I would guess its someone new in either a promo dance or a feature dance for CIN. My dream partnership would be Aliona and Boris Johnson.

It seems the eliminated pros get featured on the Tessanine so that's nice to see. Janette will have to be right at the front.

A CCC with Brendan - will be interesting to see because this is a new pairing. Its difficult to make a really good support dance that fits with the music and copes with being broken up.
The dance with Aljaz was the pro dance of the series so far IMO despite being a support dance.

Nice photo of Tony, Astrid, Aliona and Vincent.

Its for sure that Tony will be able to learn to dance quite well and its going to be a good hobby he and Astrid will both enjoy.

Tony said on his farewell ITT that he was shocked by the standard of performance and I guess when he saw Natalie dance that was a real shock. He seemed to think they were all starting off from where he was - bless him.

They will have dancing and golf in common so maybe they will all keep in touch. Tony progressing at dancing and Aliona progressing at golf.
I liked Tony on SCD. We got a couple of entertaining VTs and he is a very good sport.

The children in need dance sounds interesting do you think it will be with someone completely new to dance or someone who's danced in strictly before like Matt Baker he's done a lot for children in need in the past.

No just watching the One Show and it looks like Matts all over the place with the rickshaw challange, can't wait to find out who Aliona's dancing with.

Aliona looking delish at the Red Carpet event for Thor: The Dark World.

Hope she was warm enough in that top - seems it was a bit windy.

Nice screenshot of Aliona arriving at training with Harry - seems to be linked in some way with a Youtube video of them.

Aliona will be dancing with skating legend Christopher Dean as part of the SCD Children In Need Special

Thats brilliant I love Torvill and Dean I've been to see Dancing on Ice a few times, do you know if Jayne Torvill is taking part as well

she is dancing with James

Great, thats going to be very competitive Thanks Olive.

That will be really interesting - they should both be fast learners but it should be slightly easier for James if its in hold.

I expect Aliona has many great routines she could do if she was given the opportunity.

I think they only get a few days training though for CIN (4?) so that may limit what can be done.

I would like to see a Vilani style Tango to this.

your welcome and yes, it should be very competitive!! cant wait to see it

it was filmed on saturday so its all done and dusted so to speak

Is Dancing On Ice still going? How about Aliona competing as a celebrity

no, there is a final tour next year but the series has been cancelled

EDIT - no there is a final series - sorry

Was it filmed in front of last Saturdays audience and did they have the vote or was it down to the judges like the sport relief underwater dance do you know.

I don't know, sorry, all Aliona has told me is that it was filmed on Saturday

Oh thanks anyway I hope it is the audience that get the vote and it's not down to grumpy Len to give the deciding vote like the Sport Relief underwater dance. I hope they raise lots of money for children in need and Aliona and Chris win that's not too much to ask is it

Chris looks like he was well up for some chemistry in their dance. Can't blame him.

The Mirror (reaches for a pinch of salt) says they are performing to a medley of tunes.

Aliona and Vincent are racking up the romantic trips. They have picked some beautiful cities and have some sweet photos - like this one.

CIN News - A&C are doing an AS to Dance With Me

Aliona after performing at the British Legion poppy appeal at Covent Garden.

Looking forward to her other dances this week.

Heard this tune on a Maltesers advert and thought it would make a good Charleston tune ( if we see Aliona doing another Charleston ).

Will the Strictly part be on at a set time do we know? Or will it be absorbed into the whole evening? i.e. might be shown at any time?

Aliona and Bobby danced for the crowd at Covent Gardens.

Bobby seems to be a really nice guy and I remember him tweeting his good wishes to Aliona when she was initially not offered a place on the show.

Set time I think 8.30 rings a bell but I'm not 100% sure, sorry
