we're all wise to this now

I cant wait for the Saturday show, I'd guess Jay will be on last

I agree with the panel though - all footage shown so far this week has been deliberately held back and we're only being shown minimal choreography. Something special is being held back for Saturday maybe ?

im going to miss this weeks show

Aw, Jamelia looks pretty good! Hope she does ok on the night.

Are they just holding back Jays? I don't think so - i think they were probably still marking that dance!

I quite like Vanessa, but that was a rubbish segment. All over the place.

apologies, Vanessa, you've made a better reporter than I've given you credit for

Just waving the flag for Plymouth my home town, city got destroyed by the Luftwaffe

Excellent Friday panel, I could have listened to all 3 for a while longer. I can see Lisa taking part some year and would love Rufus to do a full series too. He was good fun on the Xmas special and is obviously a big fan of the show.

Its strange to see Alexander sing when you associate him with Pointless

AA has a great voice!

Golly I thought they were joking abiut Alexander singing!

I am in love with Alexander!

Indeed. All 3 in next year's series would be fantastic!

I think it's important that Strictly does something to remember WW2, so many over 80's watch the show, and good to educate younger generations

If anyone wants to see Alexander Armstrong sing, ITV2 usually show a range of pantomimes over the Christmas season, at least they have done for about the last 15 years

Very nice Alexander

I love that song! I think Alexander Armstrong does retro well. Really enjoyed that.

God I hope so, that looked dreadful and I love Jay and Aliona

He trained as a chorister, and didnt go into singing as a career because he didnt feel like it

That's the 3rd or 4th time I've seen him singing on TV and it's been a different style every time. Talented guy.

Kind of like Hugh Laurie! You'd never think they could sing seeing them doing their day jobs.

They bombed our chip shop.

Not sure what is going on with Jay's AT... Maybe they really are holding back on the footage and he's knockout on Saturday as so far it hasn't been looking too good. I expect that will all turn around tomorrow though.

Georgia, Peter and Anita all looking good though IMO.

Soggy chips eh? I feel like taking revenge when i get soggy chips too.

I think he was head chorister at Durham Cathedral as was Gareth Gates.

He's a great singer too and when we see him playing the piano in House, it's really him playing.
