He put on a very sincere performance, and if he said he was nervous, I can't sense it at all from his routine.
As for Gary Lucy, it did warm me to him that the producers decided to flash the 'cute' card with his daughter India. He was technically good, but still a little lacking in his performance (a little self-conscious, strange considering he's an actor), but last Saturday's performance was considerably better than his first performance.”
That's true actually, I was watching a clip of Mikey's performance earlier and he actually does a lot more skating alone than some of the celebrities have done, which will hopefully benefit him the longer he stays in!
(I feel like I'm saying I don't like Mikey at the moment, I'm not trying to say I don't think he's a good skater.
I just think he works harder at the skating aspects than some people have had to. His performances I think have been right up at the top, they're a lot more entertaining and difficult than some dances have been, and he does make me smile so much!)
