Even if he said it, it doesn't mean it was yesterday. It could have been a while ago, before the interview on This Morning.

I read that article last night and I'd hardly call it a swipe at Danny. Ed's just trying to defend himself and as usual The Sun have tried to make a story out of nothing.

I agree, I think the Sun has probably twisted the truth as Danny and Ed seem to get on. 😉

I'm guessing they're leaving the American Smooth for Musicals Week.

I just watched it being performed on YouTube, Danny and Oti should smash it. and hopefully top the leaderboard for the third week on the trot.

They are going to be so worn out! Oti said they had a lot of fast dances one after another. However I can see this being epic!

If they get through this week then I'm praying for a nice slow AS for musicals week to give them something of a break!

I love their samba song choice. I haven't enjoyed any sambas this year but I have hope Danny and Oti could be the ones to change that.

A couple of sambas to Magalenha on YouTube:

I think it will have a great carnival feel and Danny and Oti will rock the samba. 😊

With my 'knowledge' of Samba limited to the mostly cringeworthy efforts SCD has produced, I shuddered when I saw they were doing this dance .......
Until a trip down the YouTube rabbit hole showed me how a Samba SHOULD look danced to real Latin music!

My favourite SCD Samba is Matt & Aliona's. I can't remember many others.

Here's hoping Waite's Wednesday Warm-Up shows us some promising Samba moves from Doti. 🙏😊

I love Matt & Aliona's Samba. Still the best ever Samba on SCD but that could change on Saturday.

I do feel sorry for Doti getting four fast dances in a row, not very good arranging at SCD towers, plus the ChaChaCha-athon this week, they will be shattered after Saturday's show!

Just rewatched Matt & Aliona's.. Just love the opening. 😊 If anyone can top it Doti can. 👍

I like this one from Vincent & Flavia too:

Surprised they have yet another fast dance, fully expected ballroom this week for Doti. However, not the AS as that would have been their third week in a row having to do lifts. Tptb clearly wanted six different dances so samba it is. Glad they're dancing to 'Magalenha' it was my pick for a samba, it's a great track. Likewise re Matt Baker's samba, it's the only male celebrity samba that springs to mind. Come Saturday though if everything falls into place D&O will eclipse it.

I just watched Matt & Aliona again, fab dance. I can't believe they used the same song again this year for exactly the same dance!

The Vincent & Flavia dance is great, once they appear!

After the Rumba what will the SCD wardrobe department be trying to get Danny to wear this week?

I was hoping for a ballroom too, perhaps a Fox based AS. They don't have to do lifts in AS, they are just allowed. No doubt when they do dance one, Oti will incorporate most of the basic groups she used before in the Foxtrot coupled with some dreamy Fred and Ginger style side by side dancing.

I thought that too when Claudia and AJ did their samba, SCD have repeated songs quite a bit in recent years.

I wonder if we will get a sneaky look at his costume with Vicky tomorrow?

I'm sure Danny would look very fetching, lol.

Samba..........Not my most favourite dance............Well, very authentic samba music...................I might be on my own here, but I'm not sure I like it. It's not very melodic. Love the drums. but I'm wondering how the band are going to cope with the lyrics, etc. It feels fast, to me also, to get the proper technique. Is it faster than Laura's. What does anyone else think???

Please no maracas or frilly shirts..............................

Looking forward to seeing some footage this eve.

I'm not a Samba fan either, and also had reservations about the music, but once I'd been down the YT rabbit hole and watched some experienced dancers doing Samba to this I realized just how special it might be if it goes well, fingers crossed

I actually don't want Danny to be top of the leaderboard Saturday. This will only fuel the ringer -brigade detractors even more 😒😒. Let Louise or Claudia be at the top. ALL I want him and Oti to do is to dance an amazing samba. I care less about their scores at this stage of the competition.

I am in no doubt they will storm it - I wouldn't mind their Samba topping the leaderboard - the judges will change things with there Cha Cha-a-thon. Not a fan of those Dance-a-thons as way open to manipulation. At this stage though, if Danny & Oti don't make the final there would definitely questions to be asked of the judges - the Final would be poorer without them as they are head and shoulders above the rest of the couples..IMO
