They have grown on me every week and this week they were just sublime, I would have given them 10s. Love them!

I think they could be the winners if they keep progressing the way they are. Ian deserves to be Strictly cnampion as he is a fab dancer, hope they do it.

She is certainly the most improved dancer imo. I really enjoyed their performance and, I have to say, Tufnell's tango too.

Jade seems to be the only one progressing - and in both disciplines.

If she was in the final against anyone but Natalie, Laila or Chris, she'd get my vote.

I love Jade and Ian. They're my favourite couple by quite some way, and I was so happy when they were safe tonight.

I think they've got a great dynamic, and they're improving all the time. I really hope they have the tango soon, 'cause Ian's tangos are fantastic, and I think they'd do an amazing job.

It would be so great if Jade and Ian made it to the final, I think she'd thoroughly deserve it. She may be a sportswoman rather than an actress but she gets into role wonderfully and she needn't worry about being too tomboyish, she looks totally elegant and feminine when she dances. And Ian's a sweetheart!

I'm sorry I know Jade from Athletics and I just cannot bring myself to agree with some of these comments. I do support the fact that her dancing is improving but where is the charisma and feeling???

Jade and Ian are my faves too - and I would love Ian to win, he's been quite unlucky I think

I've liked them since week one and they've improved each week. Their gorgeous foxtrot tonight has made them my favourite couple this year

Oh GG, I don't know, Jade seems (to me) to have so much fun dancing and so much class at the same time!

It's all subjective, obviously, but I think she has both in spades on the dancefloor.

Hello again GG

(I remember your wonderful posts from the BB forum!)

I've been quite surprised with just how much soul Jade dances with.

She captured the light, classical feel of the Foxtrot perfectly tonight (ditto the VW the other week).

And she's sassy and full of life when performing the Latin.

Jade's been a pleasant surprise.

I love Jade and Ian. The foxtrot is my favourite dance and she was so beautiful and elegant.

They are my joint favourites and I am loving how she is getting better and better each week.

If Arlene was still on the judging panel, you'd have heard her favourite 'Dark horse' comment by now ... in Jade's case, it'd probably be right. I only see her getting better.

Hi Sid, lovely to see you again(oh dear seems this old goat has got fired up again!!!!) et al

Ok I'll not argue and will not say any more - will just reserve my opinion and agree to differ (if I can!!!!)

I really enjoy them every week, you know that they'll never disappoint you with their performance - I was more than surprised that they were in the dance off last week......can't vote in Ireland, but I'd be voting for them if I could (and Anton, obviously!)

I've liked her from the off. Ian has some experience with the 'tomboy' types (thinks Denise Lewis and Zoe Ball - I can relate to that stuff big time!) and not to mention tall girls. For me, Jade is turning into a reliably good all rounder. How many others are becoming consistently good at ballroom AND latin, other than Ricky W? Even the sainted Ali struggles to get the mood of some of the latin dances IMO. It's not easy for Jade, or Ian for that matter, but if they get to the final they'll have well and truly earned it on merit. Could it be third time lucky for Ian? Well, a girl can dream...

I love Jade and Ian. I think it has been a big learning curve for Jade. As an athlete her success is due to her physical strength. With dancing she has to add her character, her whole self- that is what will make the difference and add to her success.
The celebrities can't hide behind their performance at all. We watch them in training, their ups and downs. It must help if the celebrity and the professional get along - Brendan and James have both behaved quite differently this series because they like their partners (either personally, or because they are better dancers).

Good point by SBird about being good at both disciplines.
She's improving and that's good to see and she's not a little mouse of a woman.

I like them both.

I love Jade & Ian.

Jade is a great dancer & she always performs well. Like some have mentioned here, she does not "act" the dance she dances it & brings warmth to all of her dances.

I also like the fact that they're under the radar. No gimmicks, just working hard & getting on with it. Great performances in Latin & ballroom.

She's the best female on the show IMO.

Totally agree.

Ian and Jade are my second favourites and I think they could become the "journey" couple this series.

Jade and Ian would have become my favourites had Ali and Brian been knocked out tonight.

Would love to see both couples in the final.
