So, given the level of injuries this series, is it really wise to get the couples to play bumper cars aka a competitive Viennese Waltz?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Murder on the dance floor doesn't quite anticipate the carnage due this Saturday night.

So Charleston. Is it very mean of me to wonder quite what the queens of the gurn, Camilla and Karen, would have made of the crazy, crazy Charleston....

So Laila and Anton. It looks as if the much telegraphed bum slap could be the only highlight in their dance.

Ali (hate to criticise because of the injury, but she is far too elegant to do crazy, crazy wild...)

Could Ola and Chris actually top the leaderboard? Because this dance seems to suit them down to the ground, and they are getting into performance mode even in rehearsal, and Ola is loving every minute of it.

I was starting to ever so slightly become immune to the charms of Team Cola, but today they have floated my boat right up to the crest of the wave. (Tacky metaphor I know but I have downed a glass of red, and this is what you get when drinking Sicilian under-a-fiver-screw-cap red). I think it was when Ola started to explain what went wrong with their VW (I didn't even notice) and said "Basically the crowd went screaming, and Chris gets into a funny mode, he thinks he can change the choreography"..... What is not to love!

And so to Claudia channelling Zoe Ball......almost, but imagine the honey monster doing the tango and you have this master class. Excellent twist on a tired format this year.

Rock n roll - for some reason am not looking forward to Ricky and Natalie (but interesting to see what someone else will choreo for Ricky), and poor Natalie and Vincent....he has my vote because I can't do a roly poly, and as for a cartwheel.... Vincenzo, ti amo.

So to the Viennese Waltz. Well I have never seen Flavia so animated or so articulate. She is still internally singing "Hurray, hurray, it's a Craig free holiday".....

And as for competition - did you see Natalie Lowe elbowing Ola in the face? So is it her that has been pushing people down the stairs and putting wax on the training room floors? I have always thought there was something very, very intense about the eyes....
