When my Mum had her hip replaced she didn't have the keyhole method, so is the incision in keyhole surgery often quite large then?

Len won't be dancing, either.

A discussion thread? It's more like I hate so and so and I can't stand so and so and why is someone dragging up a judge's opinion of Peter Andre in a court, I don't know anything about it and it is t relevant at all to dance ability. This is a show about famous (dubious at times) people and their chance to dance and improve their skills. They have differing levels of ability and experience ,but that's the nature of the show. Fed up of seeing insults on here, just discuss the bloody dancing please

I've not heard of a "keyhole" hip replacement. When you consider the ball of the hip on a rod has to be inserted in the thigh bone and the socket attached to the hip, a surgeon needs good access, to end up with just a five inch scar as have I, seems remarkable.

If you know of anyone else needing a hip replacement, advise them to go for one of the newer "plastic" ones like I had six years ago. They don't wear out and the bone regrows over the point where it is attached to the pelvis. This doesn't happen with the metal ones. You also don't need a "card" when going through the scanner at airports as because there's no metal in it, it doesn't set off the alarm.

I'll leave it there as this beginning to read like a medical journal.

I ran downstairs to get pudding once Katie's scores were in and when I got back up the continuity announcer was talking about a picture error - what happened?

The picture broke up around about when Tess was announcing what time the voting lines closed

Nothing. Teeny tiny glitch for half a second. They probably said it so millions of people weren't left wondering if it was their telly.

Kirsty needs to go.

Jeremy was also pathetic last night IMO.

Kirkwood GODDESS continues to slay <333

Just to echo reading the thread about Peter Andre. Its ridiculous. Been on near the end for consecutively 4 weeks in a row. So bias.

Plus his tango was not that great yet he gets overmarked to 32. Also Helen George Salsa was horrific IMO. So awkward to watch how did that get 32 points!!!

I've been very underwhelmed by Peter. I find myself struggling to remember his dances tbh.

I find myself going to make cups of tea or taking bathroom breaks when he is on. I've only ever done that for other "faves" of mine such as Pendleton / Widdecombe / Riley.

Digressing a bit, I liked Katie Derham's kids, the elder of the two had a great personality and was a scream, totally unphased by the camera. She'll go far that girl.

Yes - I wasn't enjoying the VT, but I thought she came out of it the best. The kids were OK.

Having just watched Kellie's dance back... the whole effect is sort of ruined by Kevin's whopping great sweat patches, isn't it?

It was Kevin's inflatable pockets that got me.

Bump, because I had to look for it!

Yes I agree Katies technique and footwork was very poor. None of it correct but not mentioned by the judges.

Getting back to Kellie's foxtrot - none of the judges mentioned her heel turn either, which I expected Len to have pointed out and given her praise for.

Good Evenings All

Good evening everyone!

Good evening everyone.

In my opinion, the bottom two should be Jeremy and Kirsty but I wouldn't be surprised to see Carol, Daniel or Jay there too.

I would like to see Jay's quickstep again to see if he can do it better but I hope he gets saved by his fans.

This start is very 70s.

Or 80s.

That is terrible singing!

The fact that a show scheduled for 7.15pm isn't starting until about four or five minutes later *may* be a sign that they could do with trimming the results show down a bit...

Good evening

Bit worried tonight - should be Kirsty / Carol / Daniel bottom three for me, but who knows with that tie at the top.
Voted for Jay and Anita - both very undermarked I thought and both way too good to lose at this stage

Why wasn't Joanne assigned a celeb on the show this year?
