Think they were deliberate choices to honour their passing. Theme from Man from Uncle next week.

It was Brendan - not Anton

its not really about the tears, it was the look on his face when they announced he was through , as if he had been rehearsing it in the mirror before coming out , as ive said before , from his body language he comes across as disingenuous

If this is true could we possibly ask for a Kanye West or Justin Bieber cover for next week?

I'm not blaming Danny for stropping or crying - if he did.

But I'm not blaming Ore EITHER.

Bloody hell, people get emotional, and?

That was an amazing tribute to Leonard Cohen getting Andre Rieu to play his most well known song was fantastic

Maybe they shouldn't do the spotting if it takes YEARS to correct.

favs are dan and oti louise and kevin but enjoying watching every couple left who dances now, but sorry Mr Balls its your time to go.

Sick to death of judges judging on dancing ability for those who are half decent, then Ed Balls gets the same scores as those who are decent dancers. one min they are judged on ability next minute "Its just an entertainment show" be consistent judges cause your audience are not stupid ”

Agree

What nonsense - are you a body language expert? You just dislike him and see everything from that point of view.

The show make such a fuss of it, especially with Ore. I feel like yelling 'For goodness sake, give him some room to compose himself!' They never do though.
