Following the removal of Zoe Lucker and James Jordan from Strictly Come Dancing last weekend, it is the sensible viewer who has avoided companion show It Takes Two for fright of reprisals. Jordan's annual rants about people who don't understand good dancing and brilliant choreography have, unsurprisingly, not endeared him to the viewing millions – and he and his partners have been knocked out comparatively early over the past four years. It's a tough decision for Lucker, though, who has seemed to suffer from nerves and a lack of confidence, and was by no means the most horrible dancer in the pack.
That honour must go to Craig Kelly, who finished bottom of the leader board but whose frequent bleating about wanting to dance in this week's special broadcast from Blackpool's Tower Ballroom inspired enough dialling fingers to save him and partner Flavia Cacace. Despite Bruno Tonioli declaring that Kelly simply cannot dance. At all. Not that Kelly appears to accept either the professional's proclamation, or the proof of his own eyes. But surely his time in the opposition must almost be up?
Ricky Whittle remains the hot favourite to take the glitterball, with Ali Bastian down in the dance-off last weekendafter bruising her foot poorly in rehearsal – she had to ditch her heels for ballet slippers for the last showdown. Jade Johnson recovered from her dance-off indignity the previous week, finishing second on the leader board with her elegant foxtrot. Laila Rouass came in third with her Viennese waltz, although because she's partnered with king of the ballroom Anton du Beke, the flipside is that she has to cope with his less-than-sparkling Latin choreography for additional dances.
Chasing the front runners are Chris Hollins, Natalie Cassidy, Phil Tufnell and Ricky Groves, all of whom swing between wonderful and disappointing. I'd pick one of these four to go out this week. Will I be proved right? Join me on Saturday from 6.25 as Strictly comes to us live from Blackpool! Don't fail to spot it.
