This Sunday saw the first results show of this season of Strictly Come Dancing.
All 15 contestants took to the dance floor for the second time this year, with their scores from week 1 carried over. These combined scores saw Karim Zeroual and his professional partner, Amy Dowden, take first place with 63 points in total, whilst James Cracknell and Luba Mushtuk gained 13 points in week 2, which was added to his total from the first week, making him the lowest scoring celebrity this week with 24 points.
Cracknell was only 3 points behind fellow sports star, David James, and his partner, Nadiya Bychkova. Both men were seen to compete in the dance off, but sadly it was a unanimous vote from the three judges, not including head judge Shirley, that David James had improved and deserved to stay.
Whilst this week included pancake flipping, Anneka Rice wearing her first ballroom dress and Will Bayley succeeding brilliantly at lifts, next week is an eagerly anticipated week with the celebrities dancing to movies.
The remaining 14 contestants have managed to audition well enough, to get another chance of dancing in the Strictly ballroom. Some of the movies that we will see are: Aladdin, a Disney classic by Dev Griffin, Kill Bill, by Anneka Rice, Downton Abbey, with Viscountess Emma Weymouth, and Mary Poppins Returns, with Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher. So grab your popcorn and your dancing shoes because this Saturday will be a real golden globe of dancing!
Keep dancing!
Until next time....
