Me and Oksana can't wait, we're really excited about performing our dance. I think it's going ok now I got the hang of being that close to her without hyperventilating.

I'll be starting the show shortly slightly earlier than planned due to the fact that the laptop I'm using is slower than using the internet on a Nokia 3310

Welcome all to the opening of the Twists and Glitter Baubles Christmas edition where 12 couples will compete in a bid to be crowned the Christmas Champions of 2016

Lets first remind ourselves who is currently in the running to take that title ................

First up is Callum (doctorwhofancal) and his partner Katya Jones

Next we have Chris (captain_cherub) and Oti Mabuse who are hoping to make it through to the next stages of the competition

Danny (Damahepa) will also be taking to the floor once again. This time with partner Natalie Lowe

Also ready for some Christmas Strictlyness are East (StrictlyEastend) and his partner Janette Manrara

A rather excitable (thanks to Oksana) Ethan (EthanE) and Oksana Platero

It's her turn to compete for a change. Izzie (IzzieStar) will take to the floor with Gorka Marquez

Jess (I've Got Class) will be hoping to take Kevin Clifton to yet ANOTHER final

Can Mitch (pothuthic) triumph with our first all male pairing completed by AJ Pritchard

Or will it be Nick (winter99) who comes out on top with Joanne Clifton

Finalising our sparse female line up is Queenie (dancing.queen) with Aljaz Skorjanec

Riley (RileyHollyoaks) will compete alongside Karen Clifton

And finally, please welcome Ross (Monsieur23) and his partner Chloe Hewitt

As we found out, all of our couples were generated a dance with the opportunity to change that dance only once. They will each perform one dance. Their task was to pick a song suitable for the dance style they were performing.

However......... Our couples will also all perform a second dance selected by another couple. Each contestant were given the opportunity to sabotage a fellow competitor by choosing a song choice for a given dance that was deemed the most unsuitable for the dance style

Nobody knows who has sabotaged them at this stage, or what second dance they will indeed be doing in that sabotage round. But there are rewards at stake for the best sabotage routines

The contestants were divided into three teams of four. Those teams are...........

Team 1

Ethan & Oksana
Callum & Katya
Queenie & Aljaz
Ross & Chloe

Team 2

Jess & Kevin
Mitch & AJ
Izzie & Gorka
Danny & Natalie

Team 3

Nick & Joanne
Chris & Oti
Riley & Karen
East & Janette


For the team that finishes with the best set of sabotage routines on average, they will each receive a 2 point bonus added to the public vote. For the second placed team they will each receive a 1 point bonus to their public vote. Whilst the team that finishes third will receive no extra points to their public vote.

But more on the team efforts and sabotage round later. For now it's time to see our couples' individual performances

With the honour of opening the show, please give a warm and festive welcome to Queenie & Aljaz

All of our couples have now danced for the first time. But can the sabotage round change everything?

Below are the sabotage dance styles and the song choices chosen for them. At this stage you will not know which of the dances your couple will dance to later today, or indeed which fellow contestant chose your sabotage routine . This will be revealed later this evening when you all dance your sabotage routine prior to the results being announced. So please keep your sabotage routine and partner a secret until then

Sabotage Routines

Paso Doble - 'Wild Horses' by Susan Boyle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Mtzn_bLFg
Tango - 'To Stop The Train' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m4d...ature=youtu.be
Argentine Tango - 'A Christmas Carol' by The Doctor Who Cast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htHx-LRe9yQ
Viennese Waltz - 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTYRGi-Q7U4
Salsa - 'O Holy Night' by Tiny Tim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avbfBNL4IJM
Rumba - 'Friday' by Rebecca Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVs...ature=youtu.be
Jive - 'Auld Lang Syne' by Susan Boyle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYZqKYc7lxs
Samba - 'Christmas Is Quiet' by Cliff Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noIiDct679U
American Smooth - 'Minions Christmas Song' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tQR...ature=youtu.be
Charleston - 'A Whole New World' by Katie Price and Peter Andre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYdLO1X02r0
Foxtrot - 'Do It Like A Dude' by Jessie J https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECYhygFaQI8
Cha Cha Cha - 'Marley & Marley' from The Muppet Christmas Carol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsiKOJOXMJU

You will now get the chance to vote for the couples you would like to go through to the next round based on their earlier performances from 12 (favourite dance) to 1 (least favourite dance)

On top of this you are now asked to anonymously rank the sabotage routines from 12 to 1. You are ranking the sabotage routines based on which one you think is the absolute worst song choice for the dance style selected. So 12 for the best sabotage and 1 for the sabotage you didn't think was actually sabotaged all that well

LINES ARE NOW OPEN for you to vote for the couples you would like to see through. They are....................

Callum (doctorwhofancal) & Katya Jones
Chris (captain_cherub) & Oti Mabuse
Danny (Damahepa) & Natalie Lowe
East (StrictlyEastend) & Janette Manrara
Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana Platero
Izzie (IzzieStar) & Gorka Marquez
Jess (I've Got Class) & Kevin Clifton
Mitch (pothuthic) & AJ Pritchard
Nick (winter99) & Joanne Clifton
Queenie (dancingqueen) & Aljaz Skorjanec
Riley (RileyHollyoaks) & Karen Clifton
Ross (Monsieur23) & Chloe Hewitt


LINES WILL CLOSE AT 20:30 HOURS TONIGHT

LINES ARE ALSO NOW OPEN for you to vote for your favourite sabotage routines. Here are the dances you are ranking:

Spoiler


LINES FOR THIS VOTE WILL CLOSE AT 18:30 HOURS to allow for the votes to be counted and determined for the group effort and so that the sabotage round can be aired before the results are announced later tonight

Good luck all

The sabotages are going be very difficult to rank. Great choices.

Good luck all. 🎅

Lines to vote for the sabotage routines are now CLOSED.

It's now time to find out which one of the dances from the earlier list each of our couples will dance and which fellow competitor sabotaged it for them

First out onto the floor to dance their Rumba to 'Friday' by Rebecca Black (as sabotaged by Riley (RileyHollyoaks)) Please welcome..........

Spoiler


Ouch. How well will that fair for Riley & Karens team?

Next to make a prat of themselves with their Cha Cha Cha to 'Marley and Marley' from The Muppets Christmas Carol (as sabotaged by Chris (captain_cherub))........... It's.........

Spoiler


Not sure if that Cha Cha Cha quite lived up to the last one. But it may have for Chris & Oti and their team

Let's see who's next to be red faced on the dance floor with their Argentine Tango to 'A Christmas Carol' from the Doctor Who Cast (as sabotaged by Mitch (pothuthic))

Please welcome onto the floor........

Spoiler


As if we couldn't have guessed who that routine was picked for

The next couple to nervously take to the floor with their Foxtrot to 'Do It Like A Dude' by Jessie J (as sabotaged by East (StrictlyEastend)) Please welcome..........

Spoiler


From an elegant Waltz to a not so elegant Foxtrot. Could this make all the difference to what happens this evening?

Nobody gets away lightly this evening as the next couple take on the Paso Doble to 'Wild Horses' by Susan Boyle (as sabotaged by Jess (I've Got Class))........... Show your appreciation for......,

Spoiler


Maybe not the worst choice of the evening song wise. But when twinned with a Paso Doble........

As if we haven't embarrassed enough people tonight, the next couple onto the floor with their Samba to 'Christmas Is Quiet' by Cliff Richard (as sabotaged by Izzie (IzzieStar))

Please welcome onto the floor........

Spoiler


Thanks for that delight Izzie. Nothing like a bit of Cliff Richard to make your ears bleed.

The seventh couple to face their fate now with a Tango to 'To Stop The Train' (as sabotaged by Callum (doctorwhofancal)) It's..........

Spoiler


I take it back Izzie, my ears are now bleeding a pint of blood a minute. Could that Tango have done wonders for Callum & Karen's team?

Next up we have a Jive to 'Auld Lang Syne' by Susan Boyle (as sabotaged by Nick (winter99))........... It's none other than.......

Spoiler


Susan has been doing the rounds tonight. Not sure showing up more than once in a sabotage round is the best form of publicity. Must be something about Susan. Particularly where DS is concerned. (Thankfully I don't need a co-host)

Taking on a Salsa next to 'O Holy Night' by Tiny Tim (as sabotaged by Ethan (EthanE))

Please welcome onto the floor........

Spoiler


I think the less said about that the better for poor Riley & Karen. I dare say Ethan & Oksana are feeling pretty smug though

It's still all to play for as the next couple take on the Viennese Waltz to 'Firestarter) from The Prodigy (as sabotaged by Ross (Monsieur23)) It's..........

Spoiler


A Viennese Waltz worse than Ore's (oops my bad)

Not getting away lightly with their Charleston to 'A Whole New World by Katie Price and Peter Andre (as sabotaged by Queenie (dancing.queen))........... Please give a warm welcome to ...........

Spoiler


Being subjected to Katie Price is bad enough, but Andre as well. Poor Danny & Natalie

Will our final couple dodge the wrath of the American Smooth to 'Minions Christmas Song (as sabotaged by Danny (Damahepa))

Give it up for ........

Spoiler


I think thats a clear 'no' then

Ha ha thanks for that Izzie, that was mean but at least it gave me a good laugh

sorry Riley & Karen, couldn't resist but Izzie & Gorka took revenge for you.

Great show, really enjoyed the song choices in both sections. Strictly so needs to do a sabotage round.
