Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two: It's Hotting Up!

There's a training round-up of the eight couples performing tomorrow night, ballroom first: Phil, waltz - light on his feet; Zoe, waltz - looking elegant; Jo and her Tango Twizzles! Richard, waltz - relaxing into it; Craig, tango - genius/not genius; Natalie, tango - bringing full acting repertoire; Ricky, waltz - looking very smooth; Laila, tango - she's come on marvellously! Anton's so excited he's almost clapping his hands together and jumping up and down. One thing did catch my eye - the choreography all looks amazing - especially Ricky and Natalie!

Uncle Len tells the story of of three little girls - the new lady pro dancers, Katya (Cat on a hot sticky wicket) She was bribed into dance class by her mum - C$25! Aliona (Taming the WildThing) we could nearly have lost her to ski-ing! Natalie (How far can she go) is missing her dog :( Claudia asks Katya about dancing with Richard Gere, Antonio Banderas - and Phil! Claudia then goes into a world of her own about Richard. Or Antonio - missed which one; Katya says "they way he looks at you, right into your eyes" Claudia quips: "Is he shortsighted?" They all look so completely different - Natalie, demure - Aliona, gothish - Katya, classy.

We spend a day with Rav: He has a very calming voice BUT - no topless shots? None!

Latin round-up: Phil's cha cha - struggling with some bits, the beginning, middle and end! Zoe needs to sex-up her rumba! Jo, rumba - still struggling with those twizzles; Richard, cha cha - "what's with those arms," says Lilia, "you look like a traffic warden." I can't help but wonder what traffic wardens do with their arms? One holding the clipboard, the other the pen - sort of a narrow waltz hold? Craig, rumba - getting into the mood of the dance; Natalie, cha cha - going for it; Ricky, rumba - thinks he looks like a girl! Er, no! Laila, cha cha - taking hold of it and claiming it as her own!

AND - there's still a Friday ITT, complete with panel! Woohoo!
