Queenie & Giovanni
Izzie: 5
Julie: 8 Mitch: 5 Nathan: 6 Julie: You aren't very good, but you are very entertaining! 40 for fun, but you'd get around 16 for the actual dancing! That gives them a respectable 24 Our second couple tonight, dancing a Cha-Cha-Cha to ‘Cake By The Ocean’ (DNCE) is John (JohnStannard) & Katya... |

John & Katya
Izzie: 2
Julie: 10 Mitch: 5 Nathan: 8 Nathan: This was such a fun routine packed full of energy a fantastic start to the series. We didn’t have to wait long to get the first 10 of the series. Despite the 10, low scores from Izzie and Mitch give John a total of 25Next to take to floor is Steve (UncannyAvengers) & Aliona. Their first dance is to ‘Superlove’ (Charli XCX) and is a Cha-Cha-Cha

Steve & Aliona
Izzie: 7
Julie: 7 Mitch: 6 Nathan: 6 Izzie: This has ‘Strictly Week One Cha Cha Cha’ written all over it! A cute, cheeky piece of music that is, mostly, simple with the beat to make for a solid Cha Cha Cha. There were a few faster little sections of the music that had a more frantic nature that could potentially become frantic and unclean in a Cha Cha Cha, but this was a really good way to start your series. That gives them a very strong 26 Our fourth couple tonight is Riley (RileyHollyoaks) & Anya They’re hoping to impress the judges with a Rumba to ‘Bird Set Free’ (Sia)...

Riley & Anya
Izzie: 3
Julie: 8 Mitch: 8 Nathan: 6 Izzie: I really can see where you were coming from with this piece of music, but it really screamed to me ‘Contemporary’ and, despite Strictly’s efforts, I still see the Rumba as distinctly separate as a dance. It felt quite ‘thrashing’ and too dramatic for a Rumba, with the romantic element gone. Certainly a very dramatic dance, just not quite ticking the ‘Rumba’ box for me. Despite Izzie’s three, higher scores from the other judges give Riley a total of 25 Next up are Jamie (DingDong08) & Natalie, dancing a Samba to ‘Want To Want Me’ by Jason Derulo

Jamie & Natalie
Izzie: 3
Julie: 6 Mitch: 6 Nathan: 5 Julie: You tried your best, but I can't give you high marks, sorry That gives them 20 Bringing to the halfway point of the show (at last!) are Aurora (Aurora13) & Neil…I can reveal that sadly Aurora did not send anything for the first two shows and has therefore received 0 for the rounds.

Callum & Chloe
Izzie: 5
Julie: 2 Mitch: 6 Nathan: 4 Mitch: I enjoyed it, again it lacked something that made it stand out more, which makes me think you could be in danger, but the public might see something that I don't! A uncharacteristically harsh score from Julie leaves them with just 17 With 7 of our 14 couples having performed, here’s a midway glance at the leaderboard... |

1st – Steve (UncannyAvengers) & Aliona – 26
=2nd – John (JohnStannard) & Katya – 25 =2nd – Riley (RileyHollyoaks) & Anya – 25 4th – Queenie (dancing.queen) & Aljaž – 24 5th – Jamie (DingDong08) & Natalie – 20 6th – Callum (doctorwhofancal) & Chloe – 17 7th – Aurora (aurora01) & Neil – 0 So Steve & Aliona take an early lead while Aurora & Neil are down at the bottom – that could change heavily though. ![]() Hoping to take that top spot from Steve are Ash (ADMR) & Joanne. Ash was the first (and only) contestant to be eliminated in the ill-fated first series of Get Dancing, hopefully this Cha-Cha-Cha to ‘Pompeii’ (Bastille) will stop that happening again. ![]() |

A 2 Julie
![]() Spent a while looking for that song choice too yet it seems songs that've just been used in the real Strictly series do better ![]() Excellent show so far nonetheless |

Ross & Karen
Izzie: 6
Julie: 5 Mitch: 7 Nathan: 4 Mitch: With a dance like that you should be safe and sound in week 2! I really enjoyed that routine, the song worked really well, a great first dance that you should be proud of! That gives them 22 Next to perform their first dance, doing so with a Salsa to ‘Ave Maria Lola’ (Sonara Carruseles) are Nick (Winter99) & Iveta... |

Nick & Iveta
Izzie: 7
Julie: 8 Mitch: 6 Nathan: 4 Nathan: It started well but it went nowhere afterwards. It had no crescendo, no wow moments. The rhythm was ok but the energy just fizzled out. That gives them a decent 25 Next up are Rosco (Rosco2010) & Flavia They’re dancing a American Smooth to ‘Am I That Easy To Forget?’ by the dearly missed Debbie Reynolds …

Rosco & Flavia
Izzie: 5
Julie: 7 Mitch: 7 Nathan: 5 Izzie: There was a hint of familiarity in this performance, with echoes back to Danny Mac’s wonderful American Smooth in this piece of music. It didn’t quite have the angsty drama of some of the section of that pieces of music which lends this piece less to an American Smooth and the sections out of hold, but it did have a sweet romance to it that gave the dance a beautiful, sweeping feel. That gives them 24 Our penultimate couple tonight is Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana. They’re dancing a Foxtrot to ‘Love Walked In’ (Frank Sinatra)...

Ethan & Oksana
Izzie: 8
Julie: 7 Mitch: 8 Nathan: 5 Mitch: I LOVED IT! You walked in (hahaha, get it? Walked in) and smashed it, beautiful choice! That gives them 28, the highest of the night so far Finally, dancing a Tango to ‘Heartbeat’ (Justs), it’s Nic (Nic Plays) & Janette Let’s see how their first dance fared with the judges.

Nic & Janette
Izzie: 3
Julie: 7 Mitch: 7 Nathan: 9 Mitch: That was brilliant, its like you took a tub of celebrations, took the snickers and bountys out and provided me with a perfect box of chocolates, very well done! Contrasting scores seems to be the theme of the night . That gives them 26
