Really sorry but I'm seeing family today and the earliest the show will be up is tonight. More likely tomorrow though. 
Thank you to the judges for being so swift with their marks.

Strictly Come Dancing - Our Way (Series 13)
12 of 39
Be interesting to see what our judges' leaderboard looks like, given the actual judges had 6 couples separated by 2 points at the top. 
Hello and welcome to a, slightly later than usual, fourth-round edition of Our Way!
After the thrills of Movie Week, it was back to basics for the remaining thirteen celebrities as they took to the dance floor once again. In a round that saw Anton at the top of the leaderboard (there are claims that Katie was there with him) and Jay tumble 12 marks down the leaderboard, it was Daniel and Kristina who took flight and left the competition. *sob*
However, as is often the case, things don’t always quite pan out how they did on the show and we're about to discover what our judges made of things! One of whom was celebrating his birthday, so (belated) HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY!
Kicking things off were Anita and Gleb…

Silarmy: Honestly, I was expecting a bit more from you but, as always, you kept up with Gleb's amazing choreography so I have to commend you for that.
Just a slight drop courtesy of our judges, who couldn’t even be swayed by Gleb’s bare chest…

Silarmy: Not your best, I'm afraid. Nothing overly exciting. Just a bit dull.
Clearly our judges know NOTHING about dance. (Please forgive me, I’ve taken his exit very hard.)

With an…interesting choice of music, it’s Kirsty and Brendan…

Our third drop in a row…

In the absence of that nine, things aren’t quite so rosy for Georgia and Giovanni…

Welll…at least Silarmy liked it?

It’s the highest set of marks so far and means that they…

Stuart: There were quite a few mistakes and you went out of sync with Aliona on numerous occasions. Another thing that annoyed me was that you kept looking at your feet. Despite all this, and the bad ending, it had good basic Quickstep and I loved the kicks, but the mistakes let it down.
Considering the billion threads we’ve had ‘out there’ dissecting his every breath, not so bad…
