Tom and Oti will dance a Paso Doble to “Espana Cani” by Andre Rieu

Scores:-
Callum- 6
John- 8
Nick- 7
Izzie- 8

Total = 29/40



Callum's Comments:- It was a tad haphazard at times, your shoulders were too scrunched. You need to engage your core to ensure you have the right posture. Other than that, your attack and narrative into the performance was excellent.


A mini split there, with Callum needing more and John and Izzie loving it, that leaves Nick to be piggy in the middle. How will Nicola Adams and Anton Du Beke fair when they do a Charleston?

Nicola and Anton dance a Charleston to “Bad Romance (1920s Gatsby Style)” by Lady Gaga

Scores:-
Callum- 7
John- 9
Nick- 7
Izzie- 6

Total = 29/40

Nick's Comments:- Wow - A really stunning dance, did not expect that! Anton's choreography was surprisingly good, there was plenty of fun, plenty of enthusiasm and it was a bloomin great dance.

29 out of 40 gives them the joint highest score of the night, A big score difference however between John and Izzie.

How will Pksparkxx Dathottness and Natalie Lowe do?

Pksparkxx and Natalie do a Quickstep to “Promised You A Miracle (Acoustic)” by Simple Minds feat KT Tunstall


Scores:-
Callum- 4
John- 4
Nick- 7
Izzie- 5

Total = 20/40

Nick's Comments:- Really lovely dance to watch, great footwork during the dance - very fancy - A great effort

A bit of a score difference but this is the Digital Spy Forum for Strictly Games, it is to be expected!

Natasha Raskin and AJ Pritchard are next.

Natasha and AJ will dance a Salsa to “Mambo No.5” by Lou Bega

Scores:-
Callum- 7
John- 7
Nick- 5
Izzie- 4

Total = 23/40

Izzie's Comments:- I’ve seen vases with more hip action on Bargain Hunt. I’m not quite how you managed to look both gangly and uncoordinated AND stiff, but you managed it. The lifts were nice though, so you should be grateful to AJ for that.

While Callum and John liked it, Izzie and Nick, less so, and that 4 makes a somewhat uneven score.

Will Larry Lamb and Karen Clifton top 23?

Larry and Karen will dance a Waltz to “Secret Garden” by Bruce Springsteen.


Scores:-
Callum- 8
John- 2
Nick- 7
Izzie- 7

Total = 24/40

Callum's Comments:- Charming, elegant, sophisticated and sweet. You prove that there should be no age limit on dancing. That was simply marvellous. You have excellent musicality also.

Well they did top 23! That 2 pulled down their scores significantly though.

Hopefully John will like Charlene White and Neil Jones's Foxtrot more.

Charlene White and Neil Jones dance a Foxtrot to “Haven't Met You Yet” by Michael Buble

Scores:-
Callum- 7
John- 5
Nick- 6
Izzie- 7

Total = 25/40

John's Comments:- Not my cup of tea but some nice moments in hold and a good connection, you just need to not show your stiffness and the concentration since nerves took hold and at least smile and show some personality.*

Again another score in the Mid-Twenties, will Philip Serrell and Oksana Platero break that trend?

Philip and Oksana will Cha Cha Cha to “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel

Scores:-
Callum- 4
John- 6
Nick- 6
Izzie- 3

Total = 19/40

John's Comments:- Well done, no improvement on last week but for your 1st Latin, an adequate standard


19 is a break from the mid twenties but it is an improvement on last week for Philip and Oksana.

Next up, with a Quickstep, it is George Osbourne and Katya Jones.

George and Katya will dance a Quickstep to “Let's Face The Music and Dance” by Frank Sinatra

Scores:-
Callum- 6
John- 6
Nick- 5
Izzie- 6

Total = 23/40

Nick's Comments
:- I mean it was a bit of a rough Quickstep in places, not really your dance though, is it? You were out of sync with Katya throughout most of the dance but I admire your passion and energy.*

Another score of 23, that is going to be interesting when it comes to the public vote.

Anyway, how will Yvette Cooper and Gorka Marquez fair when they dance their Paso Doble?

Yvette and Gorka Paso Doble to “Bring Me To Life” by Katherine Jenkins

Scores:-
Callum- 2
John- 4
Nick- 6
Izzie- 5

Total = 17/40

Callum's Comments:- I think I do need resuscitating after that, that's all I can say.

Oh dear, Yvette didn't impress our Judges but will Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt dance a High scoring Rumba?

Liam and Chloe will dance a Rumba to “Hello” by Adele

Scores:-
Callum- 6
John- 8
Nick- 7
Izzie- 8

Total = 29/40


Izzie's Comments:- Helloooo there Mr Payne. Apparently this is a hard dance for the male celebrities, but watching that routine you’d never have guessed. It had a beautiful fluidity about, but you did look somewhat uncomfortable at the intimacy of this dance. I suppose you do*allegedly*have a baby on the way though.

29 out of 40 again! Tonight is certainly a tie-night.

Will Karen Barber and Kevin Clifton's Viennese Waltz give us a different score?

Karen Barber and Kevin Clifton will dance a Viennese Waltz to “I Believe In You” by Il Divo and Celine Dion


Scores:-
Callum- 7
John- 2
Nick- 5
Izzie- 9

Total = 23/40


Nick's Comments:- A bit of a weak dance for me sadly, Footwork was very sloppy for me and the turns were messy and out of time.*

I can't quite recall seeing a set of scores like that EVER.
Hopefully, Our Judges will enjoy tonight's final couple, Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec's Cha Cha Cha more.

Katy and Aljaz will dance a Cha Cha Cha to “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne

Scores:-
Callum- 8
John- 8
Nick- 8
Izzie- 9

Total = 33/40

John's Comments:- That really got the party started and really set a high standard, you really meant business. A bit stompy on the New yorks and watch your wild free hand as well as the weird face expressions and keep body contact when in hold.


33 out of 40 for Katy and Aljaz, giving them the highest score of the series so far.


And on that note, let's have a look at the leaderboard.
