Care to share your experience? Atmosphere, reactions, shocks etc?

I was there, but so much to say that I have absolutely no idea where I'd start!

A brief report, so as not to spoil things for anyone:

Spoiler
I got there at 9:45 to queue, was the only person there so got embarrassed and went back to my hotel for the next hour.

When I came back I was still the first person there, but wasn't long until others joined as well. It was freezing cold all day and a painfully long wait, but everyone was so lovely and we all made friends and got on really well.

They let us in at about 3pm and we went to sit in the canteen before the show started.

We were offered voting cards in case the lines went down and obviously accepted them as this is supposed to give you earlier entry into the studio than just having the normal ticket.

Anyway, we got in, they recorded the juveniles along with Matt and Nicole and James and Ola, Nicole's earring fell out so they had to start that one again, then shortly after the show got underway.

The general opinion was that Alesha's Quickstep was best dance of the night, which I agreed with, thought it was really great. I think the standard of dancing overall was extremely high.

And at the end of the show when they announced Victor and Hanna performing I whooped really loud and Tess went, 'Well, they are good!' Haha, I had so many texts about that as all my friends knew it would have been me.

After the main show we went back into the canteen where I got forced to be interviewed for ITT(!) and I really hope they don't show that anyway, as by that time I'd been stood in the cold wind for hours on end and looked a state.

Highlight for me was the results show, James Blunt performed first with Darren and Lilia and James and Ola dancing a Rumba.

Then of course the best part, what I was there for in the first place, seeing Victor and Hanna dance, I practically launched myself off the balcony in excitement. I really loved it. It was very different to their usual presentation but different is good.

Anyway, they went to the dance off and Alesha was made up and a little surprised to be through. I really thought it could go either way after that. All the judegs looked gutted to have to choose. Both couples had loads of support and when the result was announced Gethin took it really well.

And then that was it, we were hurried out of the studio to collect our things and there were staff all over so I couldn't risk doing a dash on to the floor.

Anyway, when I got outside I phoned Hanna and she got Victor to come out and give me a little present from them both, a t-shirt that they got for me in Russia that had a gorgeous picture of them on it and their autographs. Am gonna treasure it forever.

Can't wait to watch it all back tonight!

One thing I did want to ask Becca - was that you who went 'whoo!' when Bruce mentioned Victor and Hanna during the main show?

Hahaha, it so was! Am so predictable, but I just had to. Maybe you'll hear me practically dying when they perform tonight, because I swear I nearly exploded!

Great report Becca, thanks - glad you had a great time. Now really looking forward to the "moment of truth" bit and to Hanna and Victor's performance!

Yes, both Gethin and Camilla took it well and were really sporting. Of course you could tell they were really sad to lose at that stage but were also pleased for Matt and Flavia. You could tell Matt was a little surprised but also very grateful. I think all three couples felt at risk last night.

This is so random, but I didn't record last night's show, does anyone have the ability to upload the bit where I shouted out on to YouTube so I can hear it? Haha, I am sad but I love it.

Oh, and here's a photo of me from yesterday, so if (God forbid) they do use that clip of me on ITT you can all laugh and poke fun at my geekiness:

Wow you look lovely. I wish I could help you with the youtube thing but I didn't record SCD last night. I'm sure someone will have uploaded it though, they've uploaded the dances.

Wow!

I see why they interviewed you for ITT. (Apologies for being sexist, I'm sure your enthusiasm was another good reason)

Geeky.....I think not.....Your Beautiful. Anyway glad you had a great night.....and yes I did hear you whoop with delight.Thanks for the report.Did you manage to get a second ticket from the BBC....I seem to remember they only sent you one ticket.....or was that another DS member.

They did. It was standing ovations all round! I loved every second of it. Everyone in the audience really seemed to enjoy it too and I was so pleased with their choreography and the music choice was a good one from the BBC. I feel they were also really happy with the performance. I'm practically having babies here at the thought of seeing the performance all over again in just ten minutes!

And yes, it was me with the one ticket! Luckily a bunch of lovely people adopted me in the queue and stuck with me all night so I didn't end up going it alone!

Thought Hanna and Victor's performance was fantastic! Much better than last year and had me throughout, but in a good way!
