Hoping to wow with another foxtrot is Owen Brenman!

Owen In Training: I really like the foxtrot, it’s a very calm and very gentlemanly dance which I like. I’m glad I get to start off with a slow dance as I don’t know how I’ll cope with the livelier Latin stuff. I’m still going to try my best regardless of the dance and make sure I enjoy myself on the dance floor!

Jo In Training: Learning how to dance had always been something I’ve wanted to do and I’m really excited that I now have the opportunity! Training with Pasha is great, he’s a lovely teacher and we have such a laugh in rehearsals! It’s worth doing Strictly just to be up close to Pasha!

It’s Mr Dave Berry’s turn to strut his stuff on the Dancefloor!

Dave In Training: Admittedly I wasn’t too sure about Strictly when I signed up as I only really signed up for the cash and a bit of promo for my show but I’m really glad I did! I never really thought I’d actually enjoy it but the foxtrot is a really fun dance and I love being all elegant and we’ve got a lovely fairytale theme for our dance which is magical!

Ready to close the show is June Sarpong!

June In Training: I’m just loving everything about Strictly, the dresses, the dance floor, Tristan, the judges, the sequins and even the nerves about performing. I am very nervous about going out on the dance floor as I really don’t want to make a fool out of myself, Tristan and I have rehearsed a lot so hopefully everything goes according to plan!

Dancing the Quickstep to ‘Sparkling Diamonds’, please welcome June Sarpong & Tristan MacManus....

5th – Jo & Pasha - 23

Into The Groove will be back tomorrow night where our remaining 8 celebrities will take on a Quickstep or Foxtrot! Until then, see ya!

Positively teasing me by holding Ed back until tomorrow, but very good first show.

*Definitely not intentional and haven't placed him near the end of tomorrow's show*

Ed's totally not going to get the pimp slot.

Ed had better be getting ALL the pimp slots!

Pimp-slot-o-meter is going to prevent Ed getting pimped out.

So yesterday, Lee from Steps topped the Leaderboard with 32 points for his foxtrot. June Sarpong and Cat Deeley were just below him and were followed by Dave Berry and Jo Frost. Owen Brenman was sadly at the bottom with Chelsie Hightower after only scoring 19 points. The Leaderboard is about to change as 8 more celebrities will be dancing for entertainment purposes only!

Opening the show today is Tina Barrett!

Tina In Training: I actually just can’t believe it! It still feels like a dream, everything’s so glamorous and glittery and I don’t want it to end! The Quickstep is rather fast but I am use to fast dancing but it’s rather hard to do all the moves at such a fast speed. I’m buzzing with excitement and hopefully things go well!

And now it’s time for dancing Dom!

Dom In Training: Standing on the ballroom floor and having lots of people watching you is terrifying! I’m used to people watching me watch other people and having people watching me is making me nervous but I don’t want lots of people to watch me fall over or have a breakdown in the middle of a dance! My wife Steph has been very supportive and has helped a lovely lot!

Natalie and I have just had our first rehearsal and I’m very excited to perform on Sunday night, I’ve got a few nerves which Natalie says is good but she’s a lovely teacher and I don’t wanna let her down!

Dancing the Foxtrot to ‘Bad Day’, please welcome Barney Harwood & Natalie Lowe....

I really, really can’t wait to dance on the dance floor as it’s really, really magical and Anton and I are have a really wonderful time and hopefully it continues!

Dancing the Quickstep to ‘Tell Her About It’, please welcome Jenny Eclair & Anton Du Beke...

*Jenny’s smile fades as Robin hugs her, Jenny says she had fun and Robin says that there’s plenty of room to improve*

Foxtrotting for your entertainment is Ortis Deley!

Ortis In Training: Strictly is so much harder than I expected, I thought I’d suddenly be transformed into a dancer after an hour but it’s a lot of work but I’m enjoying every minute of it. Being taught a new skill by such a talented dancer is amazing and Anya and I are getting on well so I hope we manage to last a while together!

Dancing the Foxtrot to ‘Problem’, please welcome Ortis Deley & Anya Garnis....

It’s time for Rachel Allen to take to the dance floor!

Rachel In Training: Training is a lot of work but Robin makes it enjoyable, he’s really lovely and we have a lot of fun as well as doing lots of tough work, the quickstep is tougher than I expected but it’s rather nice to be thrown in at the deep end although I am hoping to a more romantic waltz next week but I’m happy enough quickstepping!

Dancing the Quickstep to ‘Honey, I’m No Good’, please welcome Rachel Allen & Robin Windsor...

And the final male is the fabulous Ed Balls!

Ed In Training: Heya! Mr Balls is ready for training; I’m ever so excited to start training with my partner... Jennifer, no, Joanna. The foxstep is a tricky little dance but I’m practised for a few hours so hopefully it’s enough, I hope the audience like it as I’m really enjoying it and don’t want to leave, I’m in it to win it!

Dancing the Foxtrot to ‘Story Of My Life’, please welcome Ed Balls & Joanne Clifton...

And let’s see what your score is!

Craig: 2
Kylie: 4
Adam: 3

*Ed looks shocked and then frowns as he admits he felt he deserved much higher and then blames the production team. Joanne doesn’t get to speak*

And closing the show is Eve Myles!

Eve In Training: I’ve just been told that I’m closing Sunday’s show and I am rather nervous, training for the quickstep has been tough and tricky but I think Aljaz and I have done a very good job and hopefully the crowd and judges are very supportive. The quickstep has been a lot of fun so I’m not too fussed about the scores as I just want to enjoy it!

Dancing the Quickstep to ‘Hey, Soul Sister’, please welcome Eve Myles & Aljaz Skorjanec...

And the final score of the night is....

Craig: 7
Kylie: 8

But all could change next week where the lines will open for the first time and we will lose one couple. Until then, see ya!

Vote for your week 1 faves!

Eve.

No one wants to be the first to leave so hopefully I can do enough to avoid the dance off as I don’t want to let Anya down!
