So, I've heard of 8 of the celebrities but some of those I've literally just heard the names - don't know what they actually do.

Given my interests though, it's unlikely I would be able to identify a reality "celebrity" (I mean the Love Island type shows) a blogger/vlogger/influencer or most sports people.

Anyone know all of them?

Great show so far tonight. Have loved all the dances and the judges outfits are amazing.

Allira Sat 25-Oct-25 19:03:41

Lovely, Alex and Johannes!

A 10 from me

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 19:04:07

Beautiful elegant dancing from Alex and Johannes.

Bukkie Sat 25-Oct-25 19:06:01

What about Ashley Banjo as a presenter?

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 19:07:23

Noooooooooo !

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 19:09:11

So Motsi has given Alex and Johannes the same as Ellie and Vito. I'll probably be shouted down but there's no way Ellie's dancing deserves an 8, which is higher than Karen was given.

No to Ashley Banjo.

Alex and Jo jo fabulous.

Ellie overmarked.

Loved George.

TillyTrotter Sat 25-Oct-25 19:12:47

This Celeb group are all so good, improving each week.
I’ve enjoyed every dance so far.

Millie22 Sat 25-Oct-25 19:15:42

Love George but not really that dance too much.

Allira Sat 25-Oct-25 19:16:06

What do I know! 😁

I agree.

Ellie's dancing is joyous but they are supposed to be voting on technique

I have to disagree, I loved Ellie's dance and do not think she was overmarked. She has a good energy and is infectious.
I did not like that jive at all by George, that did lack energy to me.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 19:24:03

rafichagran She has a good energy and is infectious.

But what about the steps and technique? It's supposed to be a dance competition isn't it?

rafichagran Sat 25-Oct-25 19:33:16

Yes, steps and technique should be consideredSparklefizz but so should personality, energy, the content, and how they connect to the public.
This is also a family and entertainment programne, as well as a dancing competition. I would not speak for you, but to be honest I don't understand the technical stuff and I wonder how many people do. I just know what I enjoy.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 19:38:25

Ok. My suggestion is for La Voix to take Claudia's job! smile

Yes, that would be fun. smile

Allira Sat 25-Oct-25 19:45:55

I'm with Craig for once! 😲
Who'd have thought it.

Allira Sat 25-Oct-25 19:46:29

I'll give it five!

Bukkie Sat 25-Oct-25 19:59:30

I agree with previous comments, Ellie is joyous but her dances are beginning to look all the same.

Allira Sat 25-Oct-25 20:12:20

Loved that La Voix!!

To Tess - "I used to make my own clothes"
🤣🤣🤣

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 20:12:22

I really like La Voix. I'd never heard of him before, but he's very talented and has a good voice. I've seen a clip of him on YouTube singing Bring Him Home from Les Mis and he was brilliant.

His dance was much better tonight and he's good fun.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 20:12:50

Yes! Loved it!!

To Craig - "You're the only one who remembers Cher from the beginning"
🤣🤣🤣

MollyNew Sat 25-Oct-25 20:19:20

La Voix is a star.

Sparklefizz Sat 25-Oct-25 20:25:47

I've voted for La Voix, Lewis and Karen.
See you tomorrow evening for the results.
