She's an amazing dancer. Much better, in my opinion, than any other of the female pro dancers on the show. I really hope she's back next year for a full season.

I'd like to think that whatever she did or said to upset the producers has been remedied by her good treatment of Tony. She was very good with him and patient and sweet despite knowing their shelf life would be brief. I'd love to see her back for another full season. I doubt she'll ever get a real contender again but someone who could take her six or seven weeks in would be great, I've missed her this year.

Can't wait to see what she does with Matt on the Christmas Special.

Isn't Robin injured at the moment? Might Anton be replacing him and dancing with Sara?

Elaine is a RINGAH!

I'm old enough to remember her "this is your life" show.

On it they made a point of telling us that not only had she done ballroom dancing to gold medal standard when she was young.... But she had also done the whole set of exams again in the mans role.

On that basis she will probably win!

'twill be good to see Flavia back again.

Sounds like Elaine and Pasha could be the best dancers, but then Fiona was supposed to have done a lot of ballet when she was young, so it depends on whether Elaine has been keeping it fresh.

Its not a bad lineup.

Don't forget though - Elaine's made her living singing and dancing in musical theatre.... She may not be up to speed with her ballroom, but she's certainly been dancing a lot over the years.

I think Rufus will sell the dance though.... given how he sold his 'Lets dance...' segment!!

I am really looking forward to the Christmas Special.... Should be a very good one...

I suspect Rufus will be serious about it and quite good. Hope he doesn't have the mutton-chops though; looks better without them

I think it is Lapland UK they are at though and not the other one.

ETA : Just saw Alionas tweets etc so maybe it is actual Lapland... I had thought it was the UK one though but might be wrong.

I'm providing the spoiler and have Abigailsmum's number in my phone ready to go. We are planning on getting there good and early but have a long journey to get there and will hit the M25 at rush hour Looking forward to it though

What a lovely picture, nice to see Ian there - don't recognise a couple of the celebs though.

Elaine Paige is tiny!

She would have been perfect for Vincent if he hadn't decided to go and play with spiders in the jungle.
