Firstly it was a FANTASTIC show. we had front row seats and it was an AMAZING experience. Here's what they did:
Simon Webbe and Katya - Cha, Cha, Cha
Debra Stephenson and Ian - American Smooth
Su Pollard and Anton - Foxtrot
Barry McGuigan and Erin - Quickstep
Charlie Brooks and Vincent - Jive
The standard of the celebrity dancers was much higher than we expected. Considering the limited training time they were good and VERY, VERY good in some cases.
The professionals opened the show and revealed their celebs in Christmas fashion, similar to last year. All the remaining celebs (including Anita) were in the audience and danced at the end with the professionals. The judges also got up and joined in the fun at the end!
Russell and Flavia did a few cameos throughout the show which were hilarious and I'm sure will go down well.
Miss World from Venezuela was on the front row and was introduced by Brucie before recording started, along with his wife. Both stunning! (The girls that is!). John Culshaw, plus Duncan and Anthony from Blue, Brendan and Nancy were also in the audience.
The only disappointment was the guest artist (despite rumours of Michael Buble!!) being Shakin' Stevens. For such a high profile Christmas Day show, Beeb could and should have done better.
Anyhow a good time was had by all and I'm sure it will be a hit on Christmas Day.”
