Natasha & James

Last Time

After dancing the American Smooth in Manchester, Natasha is feeling confident. She tells us “we got three tens, which felt absolutely amazing. There is a bit of pressure to do that well, but I’m not here to win. I’m just going to enjoy the last tour date as much as I can!”

Dance
American Smooth - Chicago - Razzle Dazzle

Comments
Craig - Once again, I cannot fault it.
Len - You never fail to give me chills, Natasha. You are the best celebrity dancer of the series! I just wish I could watch it again.
Bruno - You look like a true Hollywood film star out there, my love. You are nothing but perfection.

Scores
Craig - 10
Len - 10
Bruno - 10

Total - 30/30

"A perfect score to round off a perfect partnership. What more could you ask for?" James says

Now we have Julie and Pasha!

Julie & Pasha

Last Time

After getting their highest score of the tour so far for their Tango last time, Julie is determined to improve even more. She says “I loved dancing the Tango last time; it felt really special. I want to do even better than I did then. I know I’m not the best dancer, but improving means a lot to me.”

Dance
Tango - Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams

Comments
Craig - This is the best I have ever seen you dance. You still aren’t quite up there, but this was not at all bad.
Len - You have the unique ability to act these dances - usually that takes the celebs a bit of time. You just need to sort your technique out now!
Bruno - I know it is hard to do, but you really have improved over this tour. This is your best dance yet.

Scores
Craig - 7
Len - 7
Bruno - 7

Total - 21/30

"I don't care about coming last on the leaderboard; we got our highest score ever!"

Brian and Kristina are up next!
Stuart25
31-12-2013
Brian & Kristina

Last Time

Brian tells us about his Charleston in Glasgow; “closing the first tour date was quite something. It felt great to hear the crowd cheer so loudly - they were really supportive. We got two eights last time, so it would be absolutely fantastic if we could get three this time.”

Dance
Charleston - George Formby - When I'm Cleaning Windows

Comments
Craig - There was good swivel, the lifts looked nicer, and there was a good feel about it all. You did lose a bit of timing though.
Len - Oh you had to spoil it, didn’t you? Brian, this was brilliant! A classic Charleston.
Bruno - I must say, this could go down in history as the happiest dance I’ve ever seen. Delightful.

Scores
Craig - 8
Len - 9
Bruno - 9

Total - 26/30

Brian looks shocked at Craig's score, and then Len and Bruno give theirs...

Performing now will be David and Katya!
Stuart25
31-12-2013
David & Katya

Last Time

David tells us “last time we danced the Argentine Tango, Craig was the only one to give us a nine, because he said we lacked passion and tension. We’ve been working a lot on the performance and acting side since then, and we really hope we can impress Craig now.”

Dance
Argentine Tango - Tanghetto - Emigrante

Comments
Craig - It still didn’t have the intensity in the face for me. But, you are a great dancer.
Len - I am leaning towards Craig slightly here. It could have been much more impactful and serious. A shame.
Bruno - Oh what are you two talking about? I’m going to say something I shouldn’t… It was bloody fantastic!

Scores
Craig - 9
Len - 9
Bruno - 10

Total - 28/30

"I'm disappointed Len "converted" to Craig tonight!"

Next up are Jake and Natalie!
Stuart25
31-12-2013
Jake & Natalie

Last Time

Jake and Natalie are re-dancing their Paso Doble, which they last did in Newcastle on Saturday. Jake tells us “the judges thought our dance wasn’t a very Spanish Paso Doble. This did upset us a little because we’d worked very hard to create a proper Paso Doble. Hopefully we can add a bit more Spanish flair on the night!”

Dance
Paso Doble - The Automatic - Monster

Comments
Craig - It was too muddy and heavy for me. The transitions weren’t smooth, they were far too clumsy.
Len - Well, it was a bit like an English breakfast as opposed to Spanish tapas. But I did like it, and I think you’ve made considerable improvement.
Bruno - It didn’t get any better, unfortunately. I do like you, Jake, but this is far from your best.

Scores
Craig - 7
Len - 9
Bruno - 8

Total - 24/30

Natalie tells Zoe "it's not our worst score... but it's not our best either"

Our penultimate couple tonight is Sue and Robin!
Stuart25
31-12-2013
Sue & Robin

Last Time

When Sue danced the Quickstep last night in Birmingham, the judges gave her overwhelming praise. Robin says “I was quite taken aback by the feedback from the judges. It’s quite surprising, but really nice, to get that praise after all the work you’ve put in to perfect the routine.”

Dance
Quickstep - Hawaii Five-O - Theme Song

Comments
Craig - The leg split into the first Charleston section could have been cleaner, but in general, very nice.
Len - It’s a shame you messed up that small bit, because this was absolutely incredible. Full on from start to finish!
Bruno - Well, the Quickstep is absolutely made for you! You were flying about like a rocket! Honestly, that was great.

Scores
Craig - 8
Len - 9
Bruno - 9

Total - 26/30

"I'm proud of what Artem and I have achieved over the series and on tour. It's been amazing"

And finally tonight we have Lisa and Ian!
Stuart25
31-12-2013
Lisa & Ian

Last Time

Lisa only got 25 out of 30 when she and Ian danced the Jive in Newcastle. Lisa says “I was quite disappointed with the judges marks, because you always hope they’re going to be great after the effort you put in. This only motivates me to do even better and improve on those marks for London.”

Dance
Jive - Friends - I'll Be There For You

Comments
Craig - This was so much better than the first time. Well done.
Len - It was much sharper, on the beat and punchy. I liked it a lot - congratulations!
Bruno - There is no doubt about it - this is the most memorable dance of the series. You are a great dancer.

Scores
Craig - 9
Len - 10
Bruno - 10

Total - 29/30

Ian tells us "Lisa has been a dream to work with on tour. I couldn't have asked for a better partner"
Stuart25
31-12-2013

1 Natasha Bedingfield & James Jordan - 30
2 Lisa Kudrow & Ian Waite - 29

4 Brian Cox & Kristina Rhianoff - 26

---JULIE AND PASHA---

Stuart25
31-12-2013
This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.

All seven couples have given one hundred percent tonight, but the judges and the arena audience have decided that Lisa & Ian and Natasha & James are the top two.

As both couples have won one tour date, and no couple has won two, one of these couples is the overall tour champions.

I can now reveal London’s tour winners, and the overall tour champions, are…
