The Jive, should be a good dance for Danny. Fun and fast.

I concur

Stunning pic from Pride of Britain. Danny looks VERY chuffed surrounded by the 2 beautiful ladies currently in his life

Lovely picture. I saw it last night but could not figure out how to post it!

I think there is also a short video interview with Huffington Post but I can't find it at the moment

How lovely . Gorgeous picture

I accessed it from Oti's twitter...............(Huffpost.uk)..very short interview. They look very relaxed and in good form.

Did anyone see ITT, how's training looking? (Any tips for improvement to look out for)?

It's looking good so far. There's lots of swing in it which I personally love in the jive. Ian did mention him needing to be on the balls of his feet more and leaning back more to help with the speed. Today and tomorrow has hopefully given them plenty of time to work on that. Danny definitely looked like he was keeping up with quite a fast song/routine.

I'm looking forward to seeing them on ITT tomorrow. I'm interested to hear their thoughts on last Saturday/how Danny's finding the jive; it seems like a dance that'll really suit him.

Training looked good but I don't take too much notice because you can never tell from that how Danny will do on the Saturday night as he tends to do a lot better.

Looking forward to seeing Danny & Oti on ITT tomorrow

I look forward to seeing Danny & Oti on ITT every week. It's only worth watching when they are on, apart from Waites warm up! I record then FF most of each episode.

I found it extremely boring yesterday, apart from WWU! Although I did enjoy the Charleston lesson.

Your not the only one I am only interested in ITT when Danny & Oti are on otherwise I fast forward to the costumes, WWU, and celebrity panel bit.

Looking forward to seeing our couple on ITT later

If anyone follows Oti on Instagram, her Instagram story is currently a series of hilarious videos of her and Danny backstage at ITT, mainly featuring him (with a cameo from Ian) trying to work out how you sit on a chair. Their partnership is just brilliant and it's clear how much they genuinely like each other and get along.

Thanks for letting us know. The videos were really funny.

I've not been keen on Danny but I'm enjoying his down-to-earth attitude and the fun relationship between him and Oti. Looking forward to his jive.

Yep- that's twice now he's effectively said "It's only dance- let's keep things in perspective here" despite clearly working extremely hard on it.

I like the no-nonsense whip-cracking from Oti and slightly bolshy but in-awe little brother attitude from Danny. This partnership is really growing on me.

Love Danny and Oti's interview. Really made me laugh. They seem to genuinely get on.

Yes, I love his attitude whilst he works hard. They seem to me to have a relationship of equals, which is nice. Like Oti's directness.

A "brother-in-awe" in fact.

Dearie me I just made myself laugh there. Apologies.

Every week I think I can't love watching Danny and Oti more. Every week they prove me wrong.

I'm getting really excited for their jive now. They look like they're having a blast in training.

Yes, I loved watching those videos. If they would show more of the training, like they used to, you would really catch Danny's personality and the kind of dynamic they have. I much prefer this type of connection than an overly gushy one.

Lovely interview on IT2. Very excited for the jive. It definitely does suit him, but I'm also delighted to see that he has the potential to be a really good ballroom dancer.

We might convert you yet Maggie??? Do you have a favourite?

I love their partnership no sob stories, get on with training and also have fun.

I think that I was totally unimpressed when his name was announced. He was probably my least favourite. However, right from the first week I've liked him. He seems to have a 'can do' attitude to dancing. When things go wrong he is endearingly disappointed and annoyed with himself and also apologetic to Oti, but he doesn't make it into a major drama.

And I like his dancing, very much indeed.

He's definitely my favourite to win.

Yes I do. Robert and Ed and Daisy. Ed and Daisy seem unlikely to make the final though. If Danny delivers a cracking jive - and evidence suggests he could - then I might add him to my favs


Interesting Ann. I've not seen him as sincere until tonight's ITT interview. Oti and him get along well and he lacks self pity, which I appreciate. Also he seems to be thinking about the process.
