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?

Yes, her daughter mentioned that when she had a difficult week recently. It must be really painful.

Grandmabatty Sat 29-Nov-25 19:15:33

Bal wasn't great either. It might be her and Alex in the dance off

Millie22 Sat 29-Nov-25 19:18:25

Poor Alex I think she has an injury and is probably really tired.

Yes I think so as well 👍🏻

Balvinder said she had only 1 full day and some hours here and there in the dance studio this week due to heavy work commitments. That has to hold her back when she is competing with others who are devoting all their time to Strictly.

4 x 10s for Karen and Carlos, surely?
Their dance has made me tearful - so emotional.

Calendargirl Sat 29-Nov-25 19:26:56

I usually dislike Couples Choice, but loved Karen’s.

Grandmabatty Sat 29-Nov-25 19:27:41

I think Karen has been the best tonight so far

Sparklefizz Sat 29-Nov-25 19:29:33

Now I'm crying again.
I think Karen is sensational. She's never danced before, and she should be an inspiration to young girls. I really admire her.
For me, Karen to win!!!

Me too. Best dance of the night 🥰

TillyTrotter Sat 29-Nov-25 19:39:15

The best were last - both Karen’s and Amber’s dances were faultless. So enjoyable to watch.

Maremia Sat 29-Nov-25 19:42:39

Karen wow!

Sparklefizz Sat 29-Nov-25 19:43:22

I'm not liking this new idea. I don't want to see them sorting through the clothes rails. I want more dancing.

YorkLady Sat 29-Nov-25 19:43:41

Alex looked like she was hobbling. Her feet must be killing her ☹️

I'm not keen either.
No time for preparation.

Yes. I noticed her hobbling.

Calendargirl Sat 29-Nov-25 19:47:06

Looks like a jumble sale!

Yes, Alex was hobbling.

Calendargirl Sat 29-Nov-25 19:48:12

Claudia was useless as a wardrobe assistant!

Think they’ll run out of time.

I think it’s been reported she has danced before.

Personally I thought she always looked a step ahead of Carlos tonight.

Allira Sat 29-Nov-25 19:55:32

Well, that was lovely, Johannes and Alexis. He is such a wonderful partner, guiding and reassuring.

Allira Sat 29-Nov-25 19:57:31

Wow!!
A-maze-ing Lewis!

Agree.

YorkLady Sat 29-Nov-25 20:02:03

I just can’t take to Amber! I don’t know why.
Think this separates the dancers from those who haven’t danced before. Not sure I like it!

Sparklefizz Sat 29-Nov-25 20:06:56

I hope they never do that segment again. It was rubbish in my opinion.

Casdon Sat 29-Nov-25 20:10:41

I liked it actually because apart from the frantic outfit choosing bit, it did show what they had really learned, and who could dance spontaneously. I loved Balvinder, she seemed a much better dancer when she wasn’t counting her steps.
