Tim & Aliona
Training Tim says he is really looking forward to throwing himself out of his comfort zone in order to learn a new skill and can't wait to hit the dancefloor with Aliona. He know's he won't be a natural but is hoping improvement will be on his side. Dance Waltz - Olivia Newton John - Sam Comments Craig - For me it was a little clumpy and ploddy, you need to make your movements more fluid Darcey - To be honest Tim I have no idea what Craig is talking about; it was romantic and lovely to watch, well done Len - I thought it was good, but bland. I want more character next time Bruno - Oh Tim you were like the prince taking his princess to the ball, but you were very, very stiff, you need to smooth your lines out more Scores Craig - 5 Darcey - 7 Len - 6 Bruno - 6 Total - 24/40 Tim says he "is happy with that, considering Craig's comments" |

Jane & Anton
Training Jane says she is gathering the basics but is hopeless at "the complex stuff". She says she hopes she won't be a total embarrassment, and hopes she won't turn out like a Catherine Tate. Dance Cha Cha Cha - Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor Comments Craig - Well, that was a glorious sight. You looked like you needed the toilet darling. Darcey - It needs a lot of work, but I think you could improve greatly. Len - It was all very 70s disco type - not enough Cha Cha Cha for me Bruno - I tell you one thing Jane you certainly murdered that dance floor… Scores Craig - 3 Darcey - 4 Len - 5 Bruno - 5 Total - 17/40 Jane says "I amn't overly ecstatic but it's okay I guess" |

Simon & Katya
Training Simon previously appeared in the 2011 Christmas special and hopes he can emulate his success in that, hoping to appear in the higher half of the leaderboard. Dance Waltz - Matt Monro - Wednesday's Child Comments Craig - It was graceful and polished. Congratulations. Darcey - I loved this Simon, great lines and full of elegance Len - When you started I didn’t like the faffing about, but as it got on I liked it more and more, very well done. Bruno - I thought you’d turn out more of a Latin boy but that was good Ballroom technique there Scores Craig - 6 Darcey - 7 Len - 6 Bruno - 7 Total - 26/40 Simon smiles with delight after receiving his scores |

Lucy & Brendan
Training Lucy says she is really, really nervous about taking part in Strictly. She says she has never danced in her life and hopes that everything goes smoothly. Dance Waltz - Lionel Richie - Magic Of Love Comments Craig - Your hold was far, far too loose. It had no ease in it at all. Darcey - You created a beautiful mood Lucy, it wasn't perfect but wasn't bad either. Len - Can I just remind Craig that this is week one and none of these celebrities have danced ballroom or Latin in their lives? Bruno - It wasn’t as bad as Craig is making it out to be, but does need a lot of work Scores Craig - 4 Darcey - 5 Len - 5 Bruno - 5 Total - 19/40 Lucy thinks she has let Brendan down, telling him she is sorry for messing it up. |

Des & Ola
Training Des says he has no idea what he signed up for and if he could go back and say no, he would. Ola says Des is a hard worker and is looking forward to dancing with him. Dance Cha Cha Cha - Elton John - Don't Go Breaking My Heart Comments Craig - This takes me back to John Sergeant. It was entertaining but that is all I can say positively of it. Darcey - Oh Des, that was, eh, funny Len - I don’t know about breaking your heart but you look like you’ve broken your legs! Bruno - (laughs) Oh Des, that was utterly dreadful. Scores Craig - 3 Darcey - 5 Len - 4 Bruno - 4 Total - 16/40 Des lets out a sigh of relief while performing deep breathing exercises. |

Georgia & James
Training Georgia has been seen on some of the UK's most popular TV shows, but how will she fare on this one? James is confident Georgia will turn out to be a dream to work with. Dance Waltz - Westlife - Queen Of My Heart Comments Craig - You really did look stunning out there Georgia Darcey - You were like a dancing dream, James must be delighted Len - I think you'll be a Ballroom girl, that was fabulous Bruno - If you can act these dances just a tiny bit more, you will go far Scores Craig - 6 Darcey - 7 Len - 7 Bruno - 7 Total - 27/40 Georgia screams and jumps into James' arms after getting her scores. |

Tom & Natalie
Training Tom says he is frightened to death about Strictly. He is looking forward to (hopefully) improving but says he isn't too sure he will do that. Dance Cha Cha Cha - Jennifer Lopez - Let's Get Loud Comments Craig - Your arms looked like you were bringing in a plane, it was awful. Darcey - You can certainly move those hips Tom (fans herself) Len - All you did was a section where you were moving your hips, Natalie was basically dancing around you Bruno - It was a bit too stompy, it needs to be lighter and sharper Scores Craig - 3 Darcey - 6 Len - 5 Bruno - 5 Total - 19/40 Tom squirms, saying he feels a bit uncomfortable with the varying scores |

Faye & Artem
Training Faye is used to performing dance routines with Steps, but says Ballroom and Latin is a whole new level to what they do. She says getting paired with Artem was a dream and they hope that they can get Artem his second win. Dance Waltz - Al Martino - Fascination Comments Craig - You looked like a true film star out there Faye Darcey - That screamed Hollywood glam out at me! That was a delight Len - That was definitely the best dance of the night so far. Bruno - Oh Faye, that was beautiful, it's nice to see you perform like this so well. Scores Craig - 8 Darcey - 7 Len - 7 Bruno - 8 Total - 30/40 Faye says she hasn't smiled any more than she is right now. |

Tommy & Flavia
Training After appearing in Let's Dance For Comic Relief, Tommy said he'd give Strictly a go. He says the training was no where near as hard as he'd thought it would be but says he loves a challenge and is looking forward to it. Dance Cha Cha Cha - Ke$ha - Your Love Is My Drug Comments Craig - You looked like a 10 year old at a school disco out there. Darcey - Oh Craig! Tommy I loved it - you will certainly be a dark horse! Len - I thought it was full of confidence and in no way bad. Bruno - You put character into it and the facial expressions were fantastic. Scores Craig - 5 Darcey - 7 Len - 7 Bruno - 7 Total - 26/40 Tommy says he did better than he thought and his glad with his score. |

Elaine & Vincent
Training Despite being a singer, Elaine says she has no idea what to expect on Strictly. She is most looking forward to the sequins, sparkle and sass of it. Dance Waltz - The Eagles - Take It To The Limit Comments Craig - It was very, very, dull. Darcey - If you put a bit of performance in it, it will have that added sparkle Len - Elaine, it was bland, but I know you'll come back next week full of character Bruno - I thought it was good, but didn't have enough substance Scores Craig - 5 Darcey - 6 Len - 5 Bruno - 6 Total - 22/40 Elaine tells us she isn't too upset about the scores, but know she will improve for next week. |

John & Erin
Training John says he's had a hard work after the press labelled him a professional dancer and that he was too experienced. He shrugs off these reports and says that it only spurs him on more to do well. Dance Cha Cha Cha - Tom Jones - Sex Bomb Comments Craig - THAT is what I wanted, fab-u-lous darling Darcey - Wow John that was excellent, full of character and technique Len - John you looked like a pro out there, that had everything Bruno - That was a sex bomb of a dance baby! Scores Craig - 8 Darcey - 8 Len - 8 Bruno - 8 Total - 32/40 John looks shocked after receiving his score, saying he is really happy with it. |

Perry was bad.

Simon & Katya
Hi Simon and Katya, lovely to see you both! Now first let’s start with last Saturday, you scored 26 for your Waltz. How did it go? I think it went very well actually, we were really chuffed to have such a great score. I think it was lovely, you danced beautifully together Yea, I did enjoy it, it went so much better than I thought it would! Now, this week you’ve got the Rumba… How’s the romance coming on? The Rumba is difficult! You can’t stop moving your hips but you can’t be too jolty - it’s really hard!! Well Simon good luck with the Rumba, I hope it all goes well! Thank you! Next up we have Craig Revel Horwood giving his run down on Saturday night’s performances. |
