Snippets:SCD, Sport Relief, DOI,

A behind the scenes look at the Dragons in the Strictly den for Sport Relief ...it's dated the 14th and says we'll see the result tonight - but they'll surely be showing it on Friday? I hope so, or I've missed it!

Is she, isn't she: Sharon Osbourne says Kelly has been signed up for the next Strictly Come Dancing, but Kelly says she hasn't. I personally don't believe she could be, having come third in Dancing With The Stars, it would be very unfair to the other contestants.

A majorly lengthy interview with the Dancing on Ice Judges; Robin, you tigerrrrr ...

Sound advice from Alesha.

Let's Dance for Sport Relief: Grand Final

Injuries abound, Cheryl Fergison can't dance, but they'll show the vid from last week, what a good call and you can still vote for her. Kate has major surgery on her back today but she's ok! All out for a group dance to Boogie Wonderland and the phone lines are already open: 09011323306 is the one for me.

The panel consists of reigning champion Robert Webb, impressionist Jon Culshaw and comedian Jack Dee and you feel they're all pretty in awe of the 'dancers'! That, or there's a definite "You won't catch me doing that..."

GMTV's Kate and Richard are Born to Hand Jive, it's Choreographer 2, Judgment day! They've changed it slightly but it's still enormous fun, a great way to kick off; Katy Brand up next, missing her call from Beyonce, Single Ladies as brilliant as before, a force of nature, Jon calls her; Grumpy Old Women have found their calling with Poker Face, they get it right this time and are making hip replacements sexy, says Jack.

Debra Stephenson is MJ with a very Smooth Criminal that has started many conspiracy theories, according to Jack. Cheryl Fergison and Ice Ice Baby has pulled a muscle, it went 'ping' she says, such a shame but she won the vote last week so still in with a shot. And she's still standing. Rufus Hound as Cherly Cole doing Fight For This Love, complete with his own private cadet army. Absolutely, fantastically brilliant, even better than before, he simply has to win. Even more attitude and attack than the first performance. Worth £2 of anyone's money!

Steve reads the T&Cs in a most stunning fashion; the Billy Elliott boys are awesome. Don't want to worry Jack and Jon, but that's what they're doing in the next Let's Dance ...
Was the result ever in doubt? I think not - well done Rufus, an iconic dance now, right up there with all the 'proper' ones!

Let's Dance for Sport Relief

And I'm loving these segments of "Steve" and "Claudia" dancing! I've also been wondering who Justin Bieber is. Jo Brand, Vic Reeves and Denis van Outen are the judges tonight.

The Bill out first, Mickey and Jo for Hips Don't Lie. Yes, really! Ha ha, and they're brilliant, Mickey especially is loving it. Maybe a little too much!

Grumpy Old Women, great vt - so it's definitely not going to be dignified and graceful. They don't disappoint, all four done up as Lady Ga Ga for Poker Face, LOL. Lesley Joseph's hi-leg leotard is worth an OMG on it's own! Magnificent is indeed the word, Claudia! A few hunky young men too, can't argue with that!

Cheryl Fergison and Ice Ice Baby, full on energy - get her with the caterpillar! Nice touch with the ice cream, universal appeal in that! Well done Cheryl!

Stephen K Amos is doing Sammy Davis, The Rhythm of Life - this could be way too cool! Denise singing along, it's excellent, full of jazz hands attitude. Cosmic, says Vic.

Bellamys People and Rasputin. Lucy stole the performance - and is seven months pregnant and jumping around like that. Even more impressed.

The footballers are the Men in Black. Peter Shilton, 108 England caps and Jason Cundy. I know, who? However - what a mover! Shilts is game, isn't he; Jason is fantastic.

Toughie again, my vote went to Grumpy Old Women - but my heart is still with Rufus. Justin Bieber arrives, they park the pram out the back. Isn't it a bit pervy that grown women are lusting over him? I mean, he looks younger than my littlun. And why's he wearing those blue plastic overshoes they give you in leisure centre swimming pools? Is that high fashion these days? Chicago cast perform All That Jazz, always classy, so precise.

Results: Out go The Bill, Stephen K Amos, Bellamys People; through goes Cheryl Fergison;
Grumpy Old Women versus the footballers - unanimous for the Grumpies!

We have our final: Rufus Hound, Katy Brand, Kate and Richard, Debra Stephenson, Cheryl Fergison and the Grumpy Old Women. What a brilliant line up!

Let's Dance for Sport Relief

Joining the lovely Claudia and hunky Steve tonight are comic actor Miranda Hart, last year's runner up Paddy McGuiness and former Strictly contestant Kelly Brook on the panel.

First out, it's CBBC presenters, Sam and Mark, with a camptastic tribute to Wham and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, which is lots of fun - and some nifty jive too!

Boxers Carl Froch, Johnny Nelson, Duke McKenzie and Tony Jeffries out of their comfort zone but you wouldn't know it - I'm LOL-ing at the VT, Boxers Support Group "living a lie" "I just wanna dance!" From Bugsy Malone, they present Bad Guys (We coulda been anything that we wanted to be) and it's fantastic, what a great performance. Johnny Nelson for Strictly! (Miranda agrees)

Shappi Korsandi does an excellent Toni Basil to Hey Mickey - who turned up too and now she can't breathe, she threw herself into it, an enthusiasm overload!

Debra Stephenson's strangest impression yet - Michael Jackson and Smooth Criminal, in a reversal of the norm - girl dressed as boy star! She's fab, an excellent job - how did she do that lean? Oh, a rope! Still terrific though!

The Weather Girls, Clare, Lara and Becky - and Michael Fish! It's Raining Men, of course - it's a TV Gold moment, as Michael strips his raincoat off, lol.

GMTV's Kate Garraway and Richard Arnold - The Choreographer is after her ... to teach her Born to Hand Jive, they're brilliant; Kate shows what she could've done had she not started in Strictly with two boken legs. Anton will be so proud!

Not as clear cut as last week, could be anyone! I'll let you lot decide. The cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert (that's me!) show off a rather lovely young man in a very small, very tight pair of shorts, which I thought was rather splendid of them. The cycling team demand our attention, quite rightly - see www.bbc.co.uk/letsdance for how to donate.

Gabrielle Cilmi samples Joe Jackson's Steppin' Out - took me the whole song to remember what it was - before The Results are in:

Out: Shappi, the Boxers, Weather Girls.
Straight through: Kate and Richard!
And Debra takes the judges vote (Miranda and Kelly, with Paddy going for Sam and Mark).

Only one more week left!

Let's Dance for Sport Relief

Kicking off three weeks of semi-finals, six acts perform with one to go through on the public vote and one put through by the judges, those dance experts tonight consist of Jason Manford, complete with dancing cliches, Kimberley Walsh and Frank Skinner.

First out is Rufus Hound as Cheryl Cole doing Fight for This Love and, as Martin Offiah said, it's wrong but so right - he was fantastic, had her moves and the attitude spot on, brilliant start, and it'll be hard to top. Frank quips it'd make a good advert for the Sally Army!

The Olympians (Mark Foster - he's really got the dance bug hasn't he? Jamie Baulch, Leon Taylor, Iwan Thomas, Dalton Grant and Heather Fell) do Vogue by Madonna and they're very slick, nice touch with the sporting references at the end.

Katy Brand performs Beyonce's Single Ladies and nails it totally! I hated this song when it first came out, but since seeing the baby dancing on Youtube, and Glee, it now just brings a smile to my face. Between Katy and Rufus so far!

Snooker v Darts -Dennis Taylor, Willie Thorne, Bobby George and Tony O'Shea team up for Run DMC's Walk This Way and have a ball! Full of energy; Frank quips that in a show full of people dressing up, Bobby has actually dressed down!

The Newsreaders -what is it with this lot and dancing, any excuse! Louise, Ellie and Matt with a Flavia choreographed hot Tango to Kiss of Fire and they're very, very good! Great bum shake by Matt and all in the character, well done!

Casualty and Holby together for Jai Ho and this lot throw themselves into it, thoroughly enjoyable, fun routine, the boys particularly look like they could happily carry on all night.

The results are in and, brilliant though they all were, it's Rufus straight through, with Katy joining him courtesy of the judges, taking the decision over the Casualty and Holby team.

Steve Jones and our Claudia keep them all in check, what treats do they have for us next week?
