After escaping elimination in the dance-off on Saturday, Craig and Flavia have been working hard on their Jive and it has to be said that they are doing a good job. Flavia pushed Craig all day, snapping her fingers on occasion trying to get Craig to focus and saying "don't work on it - just do it!" and "don't think just dance".
James has also been tough with Zoe, which has led to lots of banter between the couple. When Zoe panicked about a step James wanted to include she rebelled and argued back - "I can do what I like on Saturday night!" This was followed by lots of face pulling behind each other's backs and James pretending to strangle Zoe.
Jo has also been struggling with her confidence this week, and as a result, she sought advice from confidence and nerve management guru Boo Holmes. After a meeting at Jo's house and going through some important techniques to boost Jo's confidence (like breathing exercises, having positive body language, and learning to visualise the dance), Jo was noticeably more upbeat through rehearsals and told Brendan 'On Saturday, I'm going to go out there and surprise you. Really want to surprise you and you go, oh my god Jo, that was amazing'.
Phil and Katya have been struggling with the Viennese Waltz to the extent that Matt Cutler attended their rehearsal session to help out. Katya made it clear that she wanted Phil to show a more romantic side of his personality, which resulted in the couple giggling at the possibility. However, Phil has said that he would like to be seen as a serious dancer and hopes that the Viennese Waltz will take him further up the leader board and taken more seriously.
Natalie has described how the dance is subtle and requires her to act like a lady, which is something she finds very hard to do. She prefers to play the drama-queen and have fun with her dance routines whereas the waltz requires much more control.
Chris Hollins has said how he feels now like he is a 13 year old boy again, he gets up early for school (work on BBC breakfast) he then goes to P.E (dancing) with Mrs Jordan, then he has to get home in time for supper with his mum at home. He is then in bed by 9.30pm to make sure he isn’t tired to get up for school in the morning. He also says that he calls Ola Mrs Jordan, but if he does something good he is allowed to call her Ola!
Ricky Groves has been having problems remembering to smile when doing his dances. He say's it's because he spent 9 years in EastEnders playing hapless Garry Hobbs where his character was was usually down on his luck and therefore never had much to smile about.
