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!

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...
