Strictly Come Dancing: quarter finals – as it happens

On the cream of the crop remain, and this week they must compete in the ‘waltzathon’ on top of their usual routines. Who will rise, and who will fall? 7.11pm GMT First up it’s Simon and Kristina! Tonight they’re dancing the American Smooth to ‘Heartache Tonight’ by Michael Buble. I’m anticipating some kind of “will you give them your vote, or will it be heartache toni..sorry, tomorrow night?” pun from Claudia. 7.09pm GMT Here come the celebs! Pixie and Trent appear to be dressed as Barbie and Ken. It was only a matter of time. 7.08pm GMT Out come Tess and Clauds! DRESS WATCH: Tess in a full length black number with speedo straps, Pat Butcher earrings and giant boobage, Clauds in a horrible black number with nasty braiding. No. NO.Still, at least they’re not wearing Darcey’s mink coffin lining. 7.04pm GMT And we’re off! Previously on Strictly: Austrian windmills in Amsterdam, a grisly Greek Argentine and a godawful globetrotting Strictly theme that should never have been granted a visa. Sunetra and Brendan became the ninth couple to leave the Strictly dancefloor. They both looked a bit relieved, to be honest. 6.55pm GMT Come on, pick Eurovision! Oh, how disappointing. 6.52pm GMT Pointless answers: onomatopeia, portmanteau, neologism, synonym, palindrome. We should totally go on this show. All of us. 6.46pm GMT BAKE OFF ROUND ON POINTLESS! I know ALL the answers. 6.40pm GMT So I went to the filming of the Strictly Christmas Special on Monday, and it was FAB. U. LOUS – well worth a watch at 4pm on Christmas Day when you’re in a post-lunch turkey coma. Also met lots of Strictly people who love this blog and all your comments, so keep the good work. 6.27pm GMT Good evening, and welcome to this week’s Strictly Come Dancing liveblog! The technicolour trip-hazard of last week’s transcontinental shambles is behind us, so we can get back to some proper dancing. Don’t know about you, but that prospect definitely gets a ten from me.So it’s quarter-final time, which means only six of our original 15 couples remain. Our final four is too close to call at this point, although I suspect it won’t include Mark and Karen, who have been in the bottom two enough times to consider a timeshare. Will they go tomorrow/technically tonight? Continue reading...
