Hi Sarah, there are those who are trying to make Laura's time on Strictly all about Georgia and it really isn't going to be.
Giovanni has another chance to show what he can do professionally on Strictly and I'm sure he'll take it, he seems very focused and knows what's expected this time round. They appear to have formed a fun friendship too, I need ITT back on to see more banter and backstage stuff! Get Mick on Zoe's sofa (hide the sparkly cushions) ![]() Claudia will leave in a few years and Zoe to present the main show with Tess. Laura and Mick to present ITT. Imagine how lucky we will be to see Mick five times a day. I better wake up.

Fabulous photo which Laura has captioned 'Made my Broadway debut!'
![]() She went to see An American In Paris on Broadway and met Leanne Cope. Showing plenty of flexibility and some nice arm and hand positioning there. Like her outfit and shoes, she really does have lovely long legs. |

They will be a brilliant partnership I am sure and, hopefully, Giovanni will be allowed to get on with his job and enjoy the series without anyone trying to take that away from him. |

I can't wait to see Laura and Giovanni's chemistry together. They will be a brilliant partnership I am sure and, hopefully, Giovanni will be allowed to get on with his job and enjoy the series without anyone trying to take that away from him. The majority of the viewing public will only be interested in what Giovanni and Laura produce on the dancefloor so it's all in their hands. They seem to have been putting the hours in and I'm sure they'll get straight back to training once Laura returns from NYC. Joanne and Giovanni captivated me dancing at the Strictly Prom earlier in the summer, they were both incredible and they seem to have a close and strong longstanding friendship. I think there's a lot more to Giovanni than I appreciated last series, maybe like with Brendan who I wasn't a fan of at the very beginning then came to love him. Also choreography wise it can take the pros a season or two to get what really works for the show. One week to go and their First Steps VT will be up before then, so excited! Quote:

If we do leg exercises while we're both posting on here Lou then surely by the end of the series we'll have legs like Laura's?!

Hi Ruby, look forward to sharing opinions on their dances ![]() Really looking forward to the VT and finding out what that first dance is! |

Hope so Lou. I am also envious of Laura's legs, sadly I think slim calves might be genetic
![]() Hi Ruby, me too ![]() Agree Ochre, their dancing was wonderful at the Prom and I was lucky enough to see them a few weeks later at a festival doing Latin...really charismatic and fun. I guess the first series must have been a big learning curve for Giovanni, coming in pretty much straight from competitive dancing, having to learn a new language, etc. Really looking forward to the VT and finding out what that first dance is! Does anyone know when Laura is back from New York? I'm a bit worried about her missing training time!

Same here
Does anyone know when Laura is back from New York? I'm a bit worried about her missing training time!Laura will need to be a quick learner to go far in the competition and I think it's good she's got a few other bits on as well as Strictly. Helps keep perspective. The benefit for her of her other work being pieces here and there is that she can set aside long Strictly training days and isn't constantly working round an everyday job and commuting up and down the country like Naga. Sure Giovanni will have been working on choreography for her and pro training while Laura's been away and that they've been in contact. |

Justing staying indoors and watching Davis cup. We were always a one man team. My darling Mick doesn't look happy, I think he knows that she left and went somewhere, sulking a bit. I hope we get to see him every week. |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...14-first-steps ![]() Laura looks very good for early days! Ok . . . are they definitely doing a Week 1 Samba? Or could it be Cha Cha? "I kind of feel like I'm in Fame" . . . love it, that would be me turning up to training in my leg warmers ![]() They both come across well, awkwardness schmawkwardness, they have a good, easy chemistry and I like the teasing and dry humour between them. Sure they'll build up the trust for those back bends, can't wait for next Friday and Saturday

I am going for a cha cha, only because I think a samba might be a bit difficult for a first week dance.

Laura is going to look amazing in the Latin outfits, will be lovely to see a more elegant look for her in her ballroom gowns too. |

If Mick is going to be a regular in the training room, then perhaps he should have one of these

Awwww thanks chachacio! Looks like Giovanni's fallen for Mick's charms too, who can blame him I saw Laura's reply, she must have really missed Mick while she's been in New York.That's definitely one for you Sarah ![]() Looking forward to the next part of Laura's blog later today. |
