Christmas jumpers are all the anger this year, & a couple of ginormous crackers will get this party started for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special. Do you wish it could be Christmas every day ?
Tonightâs stars are Debra Stephenson (partnered with professional Strictly dancer Ian Waite), Simon Webbe (Katya Virshilas), Charlie Brooks (Vincent Simone), Barry McGuigan (Erin Boag) & Su Pollard (Anton du Beke).
Bruce & Tess look as though theyâve been at the sherry already, with Brucie hiding behind the Christmas stockings & going through some themed jokes.
And thenâ¦. The Grinch arrives, a.k.a judge Craig Revel-Horwood. Is this panto ?
Singer Simon Webbe kicks things off, dancing the Cha Cha Cha and quickly dispensing with a few clothes (his and Katyaâs). Heâs quite muscle-bound so itâs a bit stompy but his arms and hands are pretty musical whic helps with placing. Itâs a confident routine and they both look happy. Len said it was âcrisp like fresh snow and hot like a mulled wine. Tutti frutti what a booty.â Alesha thought it was âanimalisticâ and strong. Bruno has a hot flush and ends up feeling dizzy and Craig said it was a powerhouse of strength.
Impressionist Debra Stephenson is next, together with her dance partner Ian Waite, dancing an American Smooth. In silver sequins & feathers & after only 8 hours of training, thereâs a gap between then but turning seems to come basically to Debra & the lifts are nicely done. Perhaps Debra collapsed a tiny heavily onto the couch at the finish but Alesha liked her lines & thought it was fantastic. Bruno said it was âlight, sparkling & elegant & filled with flavour. Scrumptious.â Craig picked up the gapping âyou could drive a sleigh through, darlingâ but said the lifts were fantastic. Len likened Debra to the fairy on top of the tree.
Barry McGuigan, dancing ? His Strictly partner Erin Boag, Miss Whiplash, has her work cut out. Their Quickstep begins under the mistletoe & itâs lovely thinking about the height difference. Barry is light on his feet & strong to lift Erin confidently. Iâm not definite his feet are up to scratch but the camera work does much to obscure them. Itâs still an excellent method & Erin is blazing a crimson trail around the dance floor. Bruno loved the spirit & speed of the dance. Craig said âyou could do with a small more length of boneâ & picked up a loss of balance at the beginning but they loved the Charleston section.
Shakin Stevens sings of his hits and did you notice the sizable Christmas pudding stage right ?
Charlie Brooks and Vincent Simone Jive energetically around the floor, with all the judges loving their process.
Out bursts Russell Grant, in gold sequins, to dance with Flavia Cacace.
