The funniest thing that I have seen in ages...

Claudia and Len attempting to recreate Cherie and James' wonderful rumba, with Len almost completely losing control and shaking with laughter. What a relief for a spot of humour in an otherwise bleak week for SCD.

I am not particularly convinced by any of dances seen in the training updates. Ricky and Natalie could be great, but with his limited training, and her penchant for everything but the sink choreography, are they going to be able to pull of spectacular lifts? Ali is going to be back in her comfort zone, but it looks as though Brian is really making her work on the footwork, and heel leads and heel turns are not easy for someone with ballet training.

Oh look, Laila is playing the sympathy card again....funny how her ankle and foot were not at all swollen and bruised only four days after such a debilitating injury.

Natalie's looks to have the rhythm of the samba, which is half the battle, but she is awfully heavy footed on the voltas.

Unfortunately, I am not feeling optimistic about Ricky and Erin and Chris and Ola. Ricky's frame has improved, but there is still some way to go, and Little Legs Chris does not look as if he is coping well with VW at all. Ola has obviously had to slow the tempo of the VW down considerably, which should mean they are marked down really. And his neck and topline are never going to be good in ballroom. Now I am not going to get all bitter about the loss of the best male ballroom topline in the competition....much.

That masterclass!!! I thought that Claudia actually did a better job than Laila, and there was more chemistry between Len and our Claude than Anton and Laila. "We should win an award". "Health and safety" indeed.
