Gavin Henson? The boy done good
I was dreading watching this guy, but to my suprise the boy done well. Clearly a very very shy lad, and I really did like the dance, it seemed like a not asking too much of him and a nice intro to dancing and just plain letting yourself go
He was great, could be a dark horse there |

I like the way Katya concentrates on getting her partner's basic technique right in ballroom. She did that last year with Phil. Really good to see someone concentrating on getting it right rather than gimmicky stuff.

I'm shocked to find hes my favourite at this stage of the competition. I thought that was a beautifully simple yet moving routine tonight.
Not what i was expecting at all. |

One of the better performances of the night. She got him to relax a bit, and then it went better.

Gavin was better than I expected him to be, I think Katya will get the best out of him.

I don't understand all the praise he got . I thought it was ok for a first dance quite average and no better then most of the dances.

I guess it's because we all thought that he was going to be Joe Calzaghe bad, whereas he was actually good. Shyness and nerves apart, he could be good. I didn't want to like him but I couldn't help myself.

Well done for tonights performance Gavin, he pulled it out of the bag. He is obviously a very shy person and finds it difficult to show emotion, but his waltz was beautiful. Not perfect but then coming from a very sporty background and having no dance experience at all I think he did great. Roll on next week !!!

He did do well and I'm glad for him, and it looks like Katya really likes him, tessa got it down to a T with the gooseberry comment but I think the song carried his/their performance to a large extent.
I've noticed this over the years. Get a good song and it makes you look a lot better than you may be if your have some talent and prospects. |

Chwarae teg (fair play) to him he was a lot better than I expected!
Whether he'll get the Welsh vote he hopes is moot.He's upset quite a few people with his rugby decisions and opinions on his abilities on the field! He comes across as shy but arrogant too which may go against him. But, being Welsh, I wish him all the best! And did I detect a bit of a spark with him and Katya?

He was definitely better than expected, I do wonder whether he will be able to let himself go in the Latin though. We shall see next week.

I think if he had done Cha Cha Cha this week it would have been a different story, but now he has danced a pretty decent waltz (which I dont think very many people expected including the judges) I think his confidence might just allow him to let go in the latin.

Just watched Gavin's dance properly and it didn't get me I'm afraid. None of the Waltz's did tonight.
I think that because he was expected to be dire, the surprise at being half decent led to over-praising. I found the dance stiff and self conscious. |
