Rockett’s review

-

Just when I thought Kate looked like a goner, she comes back with a light, bright quickstep in full bridal regalia and got her best score yet. She and Aljaz might just make it to Blackpool. Score: 30 Chill out Danny! Trying far too hard with this samba. He and Amy didn’t make mistakes but it wasn’t very relaxed. Felt more like a dance exam. He really wants it – maybe a bit too much. Score: 27

Barefoot and looking like the profession­al dancer she is, Ashley’s contempora­ry dance with Pasha was perfect. I’m not keen on all the angst-ridden facial expression­s but it was flawless. Score: 39

Great fun, Graeme! He’s daring, charismati­c and very watchable. He gave this salsa his all. I hope he and Oti get to Blackpool. They are entertaini­ng and he never takes himself too seriously. Score: 31

The Gorgeous Moon River by Audrey Hepburn really suited Stacey’s style. She showed pure class with a complex waltz. She’s natural, genuine and looked perfectly ease in Kevin’s arms. Score: 32

A super-fast super-cool jive to Jackie Wilson’s Reet Petite. I loved this dance. Faye easily kept up with Giovanni matching him move for move. I’m with Bruno. It would have been a 10 from me too. Score: 36 Lots of slightly camp shimmying and funny facial expression­s made for quite an amusing samba with Dianne. Not his best dance but as bouncy as Tigger. Joe’s in no danger of going home soon. Score: 32

Daring Lauren never holds back from risky moves. Her trust in AJ is total and there is a chemistry between them. Her romantic and brave Viennese waltz should see her reach Blackpool. Score: 34 Cool as a cucumber, Charles and Karen delivered a hip hop style charleston that won him a standing ovation. Not as cheeky and cheesy as usual but the judges liked it because of it. Score: 35
