Glitterballs and glad rags...

It was semi-final night on Strictly Come Dancing and didn’t we know it?! Saturday night’s show was a sheer tour de force from all five couples and that was reflected in the fact that we saw ten fabulous performances and TEN standing ovations. It truly was a night to remember. Harry...

The standard is Strictly stratospheric

Although I am no longer part of the Saturday night fun and games this has still been a very busy week for me and all the competitors, past and present in the Strictly Come Dancing line-up. It was wonderful to be invited back for The Strictly Christmas Special and for Flavia and me to be...

Out but not down

Although I am no longer dancing the light fantastic on Strictly Come Dancing with the rest of my friends this has been a far from quiet week. Monday evening saw me once again on the couch with Zoe for It Takes Two and a chance to talk about Saturday night’s show: the Golden Shot from the big...

Tough week, (American) smooth weekend

Poor Flavia was due to travel from London to North Wales for our usual practice sessions for Strictly Come Dancing, but with one thing and another the whole day was lost. Delayed leaving London, Flavia travelled with the BBC film crew and got tangled up in traffic so she didn’t reach North...

Peculiar Paso and nail varnish panic

So…….the Paso Doble was my passport to another week in Strictly Come Dancing. I hope you enjoyed the comic interpretation of this dramatic dance that Flavia and I produced on Saturday night. From Anita’s Charleston to Chelsee’s Charleston, we were treated to a spectacular...

From rugby to the Paso Doble

It’s been an interesting and inspiring week on Strictly Come Dancing so far. First of all, Monday morning brought a flood of emails to be dealt with and later that morning the postman arrived with a bundle of fan mail. On top of all that there are all the wonderful messages on Twitter and...

A Strictly scary tail

Down to London from our energising practice sessions in North Wales for more fun and games with Zoe on Thursday night in Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two. Friday morning found me swapping tales and choosing the music with Chris Evans on Radio 2 and it ranks as one of my most...
