Lovely picture of Danny supporting Children In Need on Saturday as they filmed the special before Saturday nights show.

If I was the kind of person who voted for contestants based on how attractive they are, this would definitely be a persuasive reason to send some votes Danny's way.

(However my voting opinions are not based on such shallow things - despite what some FMs think about Danny voters )

Thanks for sharing this, such a joyful pic. He does 'wear' his clothes well doesn't he?
I'm not talking ovary voting here, just how at ease he seems in whatever style.
Could be the actor in him I guess, but whatever, still a fab pic

Great post. BIB - Alesha Dixon was the best celeb in her year from week one so it would have been a travesty if she had not won dancing background or not.

For me it's always the all round package but a big part is the partnership of celeb and pro and Danny & Oti have the best partnership this year.

I'm actually pleased Danny has not been topping the leader board every week and getting 10's as he would have been vilified on these boards which has been bad enough (apart from this thread) and the negative reaction that would have appeared in the press (i.e. DM!) and Danny is a nice guy but ultimately it would affect his fan base and stop people voting for him.
Thanks, agree with you completely Matt&AlionaFan. I think Danny is showing the journey he is making by how hard he is being made to work, thanks to the brilliant Oti. 😊

Agree with everything here. BIB...Oti's tweet about her doing off to the Ladies, and finding Danny jumping off tables, ..God she's a hard taskmaster!! He must be exhausted now!!
Thanks GorgeousGeorge, I've had a look at the Tweet that you mentioned from Oti. What a fab photo of Danny practising his jumps! Hopefully they'll both be resting and recuperating today! 😉

Looking forward to this but remember all, we've just had the trad music and costuming this week, so let's expect the worst, theming wise, and anything better will be a bonus

(Trying to keep my expectations under control)



Wahhhhhh

Literally all of my dream AT songs have been used already on Strictly so I'm interested to see what they get. There's a gorgeous version of Crazy in Love that'd make an awesome AT but Louise has already used a different version for her Charleston.
However I think we should expect them to be dancing to something like One Direction while sitting on a bench or something equally ridiculous. I'm definitely going low expectations because I've been waiting for this dance since week one.

Ramps and Karen are still my AT standard. I want to see Danny and Oti showing that same ridiculous sizzling chemistry; they're totally capable of it.

I wonder how much it'll be out of her hands. I assume there will be an outside choreographer (something they haven't dealt with yet) but I can't imagine Oti not having at least some input as she knows Danny so well now.

Of all the current pro's Oti is the one who seems least likely to forego complete control.
She's a determined lady, with her own ideals and a partner to die for.
If there's nothing of Oti in the AT I'll be amazed!

as for the sizzle .... Danny IS an actor after all 👍

I agree, Danny being an actor should help them create the chemistry needed for the AT.

Re reading my comment, it doesn't sound quite right. Yes, as an actor he should be able to portray the smoldering needed, but as a partnership they also have a genuine respect for each other, which will make it easier for the chemistry that's already there on the dance floor, to shine through.

Ecstatic that they are dancing my favorite dance this week. I CANT WAIT

Dreading the song choice ; Keeping my fingers crossed that it's traditional.

Just rewatched that jive it is so nice to see how many times Oti is checking Danny's feet
almost like a mother hen checking her brood, a lot of mutual respect between these 2

In preparation for the guaranteed AT comparisons to come, I've been rewatching Danny + Oti's dances so far.
There's an enormous amount of 'comfortable' eye contact between them, when appropriate, something 'others' seemed to lack.
Anyone knowledgeable enough to tell me whether we SHOULD have eye coctact in the AT?
My instinct says yes ....... as that contributes to the chemistry?

ETA just watched Karen + Ramps, guess I got my answer

Should be fantastic and a good chance for Danny to bring his A game and use his acting skills.

My favourite AT of all time is also Mark & Karen so D&O have a lot to live up to, here's hoping they get appropriate music and wow everyone on the night. No pressure!

Camilla Dallerup posted this YouTube video of her interviewing Danny.

She also said how proud she was of him after his jive "what a jive, wow."

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KUbei9jl5xQ&sns=tw

I think it shows what a nice person he is and how hard he has worked towards achieving his goal of being an actor. He comes across as modest and humble.

😊
