Thanks for sharing. Very true! 👍

I've always hoped to see a Zulu/Samba Showdance to Scatterlings of Africa.

This year might be as good a chance as any.

There is some good footage of Danny and Oti on the main forum. "In training" or something like that.

Here is the training I posted on MF

Team Doti looking good looking forward to seeing them on ITT later

The small clip of them in training during their interview on ITT looked very promising.

Yes indeed, very intricate footwork Danny has to master..........and a different version of the original song.!!! Interesting!! Wonder if it's bendymixer's version!???

The interview on ITT was lovely and training footage looked great. I think they'll wow us. 🙏

Absolutely agree.....................(so long as Danny doesn't go blank!!)

Oti is such a breath of fresh air. She's so uncomplicated, laughs a lot, is genuinely loving this experience with Danny, is honest when after spending time choreographing the foxtrot, she never wants to revisit it again, and not afraid to say it. She's not overly schmaltzy, just praise when it's due.

However this AT turns out, I have a feeling i'm going to love it anyway, even if his feet, technique, posture aren't up to pro standard!!!!!!!!

I agree completely. 😊

Oti is just lovely. They're so well suited and both so genuine and down to earth.

They really give their all, go for it, no holding back, no games or gimmicks, just hard graft and pure enjoyment of the experience.

I hope they rest and relax before tomorrow to calm the nerves and maybe have an ice bath or two, lol.

Sending them positive thoughts for Saturday, I'm sure they'll do us proud. 👍

Agree with all of this. Loved their ITT interview, they are always so happy & funny and make me laugh, and you see that Zoe really likes them.

I think Danny needs to have a rest and some ice baths before tomorrow night if he's legs are still hurting after the Jive!

Missed them on ITT, was late home and their bit had already been on
Will catch up later in I player, just need control of the remote!

Did chuckle at Danny talking to his feet

They make me laugh too and Oti's Tweets and Instagram posts are always fun.


I hope you get control of the remote soon.

Then I remembered earphones and the iPad

I found myself grinning from ear to ear with them, they both have smiles that light up their faces, such genuine joy for what they're doing, and an easy camaraderie too. Nothing forced, lovely stuff!

Really looking forward to hearing the version of the song, hoping, praying it's the one shared by Bendymixer, which I've listened to numerous times since.

You'll have to hide the remote tomorrow. 😉

I'm looking forward to hearing which version they've chosen too. 👍

Hello Danny and Oti fans - I have brought you a little gift.

Your pair have been to see Vincent and Flavia in "The Last Tango" this evening to get inspiration for their AT, and Oti posted this photo on Twitter.

Our pair are obscenely attractive

one of my former pupils (he is in the Vincent and Flavia show) met Oti and Danny tonight - he is a bit Oti fan

Pleased to hear it's a different version as I was seriously scratching my head over how they were going to do an AT to 'grapevine' the original version!!

Armed with that information, I'm now thoroughly looking forward to it!!

Brill idea fatskia. Love this song. Make it so!!!

thank you for dropping this gem; hopefully they learned something again about AT from the best : vincent and flavia

Absolutely love their interview last night : I love them even more everytime I see them ; such a great partnership .
Still not excited about their song choice but I am hoping for the best today. I will definetely lower my expectations though....I am sure they will do great but we'll see. I just hope that people love it and they vote. I have a feeling that we will get another shocking bottom 2 tonight as I dont think greg and ed are in danger ( no matter how bad they dance).

I have seen V and F on stage in their Midnight Tango show. Brilliant dancing from the pair in that. I wonder if they gave Danny and Oti some tips.

This is also how I know that Louise and Kevin's AT wasn't worth all those 10s. OK it was good but nowhere as good as the judges made out.

Their ITT interview last night was lovely, and I also thought Danny was incredibly sweet about Oti in that VT where they all talked about their pro partners. His respect for her is obvious.

A very smart idea from Oti to take him to watch the brilliant Vincent and Flavia. I'm sure Vincent offered some advice and Danny would have picked up a lot of inspiration just from watching them.

Saw them over here in Dublin...................brilliant show. Yes, like everyone else, hoping that they can learn something from the Masters!

Thank you for sharing the link.


I agree completely, as good as Louise was I have preferred previous AT's.


I'd absolutely love to see Vincent and Flavia perform, hopefully Danny and Oti will be completely inspired by the AT masters.

😊
