The "producers" put their dead hands on her this week - a frumpish AT dress with the split in the wrong place and nearly-flat shoes managed to make her bottom half look positively dumpy But I was disappointed in A&B's American Smooth too, too much separation, too much "they like your arms, let's make the most of them".

Chris's rumba? He did not dance But I love them as a couple.

Natalie was sensational and created a magic AT for Ricky, and of course they deserve to go through (that's me with my "justice" cap on).

Yes Natalie is so competitive and attractive that is probablay an issue with a few people.

Natalie is one of the least attractive of the female dancers. She's pretty plain I think. Certainly no Ola or Flavia.

It really was a strange outfit. A sort of see through Miss Marple look to the front, with that revolting split up the back. She didn't look very comfortable.

Flavia attractive no chance. Ola has more spots on her face than a set of Dominoes.

Ali's American Smooth was truly beautiful. Her AT on the other hand was possibly the worst I have seen on Strictly. Zero passion: her eyes looked as if she were facing death by firing squad...

A real pity she couldn't control those nerves. She always came across (rightly or wrongly) as a little fragile, and I think the more robust, masculine figure of Ricky and the cheeky good humour of Chris endeared itself to the public more than someone of a delicate nature.
