Show two LIVE BLOG

Hi Strictly fans! Thanks for joining me to watch Jason, Alex, Rory, Edwina, Nancy (brace yourself), Harry and Chelsee take to the floor. Don’t forget to leave your comments below…

19.05 Wow, another fantastic show! A few surprises in there – Lulu needs to up her game for next week and nobody expected such a great performance from Anita last night. Jason and Holly are going to be tough to beat and once Harry relaxes a bit he’ll be up there too. Next week it’s either a salsa or a foxtrot and one person will go. I don’t want anyone to leave yet!

19.02 Jason, Holly and Anita at the top of the combined leaderboard, with Nancy and Edwina at the bottom.

19.01 No – a trailer for It Takes Two. I’ll be watching!

19.00 Still 5 mins to go. Pro dance?

18.59 Practice pays off says Jason. An 8 from all the judges, top of the scoreboard!

18.57 Jason’s definitely the favourite in the studio – the loudest cheer of the night. Brrrrruuuuno says Jason is in ‘cha cha charge’ and now Craig is speaking in Australian. Len calls it the best dance of the night. Well done Jason and Kristina!

18.55 Wow they’re really going for it! They look like they’re having a great time too. This is definitely the most fun cha cha we’ve had.

18.53 Too many broken hearts in the world, la la la la la la….

18.52 Craig gives a 1! Terrible score of 12. Tess sums it up with ‘ouch’. Finally it’s Jason time! Yes, yes, yes – come on Jason!

18.50 Alesha’s giving Nancy praise for carrying on past the mistakes. Brrrruuno calls it a ‘disaster’ and Nancy agrees. I was right about Len – he didn’t like the opening!

18.48 It took a long time for Nancy to start moving – Len won’t like that. And now the dress is getting in the way. Surely a dance disaaahster?

18.45 Anton and Nancy are up next. Nancy clearly doesn’t have a confidence problem…

18.43 The general verdict from the judges is that it was fun but it’s a fairly weak score of 17, the lowest of the night.

18.42 From that bizarre move I’m guessing Edwina enoyed herself!

18.41 Edwina is better than I thought. Nice comedy routine from them but it’s not Ann Widdecombe territory…

18.40 I LOVE Vincent – so glad he hasn’t lost any of his Italian charm… Looking forward to the obligatory eyebrow raise at the end of the dance.

18.38 Ciao bello it’s Vincent! (and Edwina)

18.37 A 7 from Craig and a total of 27. Not at all bad.

18.36 Chelsee looks overwhelmed – bless her.

18.35 Len says the ending was manic but over all it was ‘jolly good’. I completely agree.

18.34 Praise from Craig – ‘fanstastic work’ he tells her. Amazing!

18.33 Hmm getting a bit clumpier now – hold it together Chelsee!

18.32 I’m a little bit in love with Pasha and he’s right, Chelsee does look graceful!

18.31 Chelsee says her relationship with Pasha is ‘strictly professional’. Bet she’s regretting that ‘single and ready to mingle’ comment.

18.30 James’ outburst might have cost him a point from Craig there. Time for Chelsee and Pasha now. Can’t wait to see Pasha’s choreography…

18.28 Ola looks proud of James. Aww… I think James was reacting to this

18.27 Brrrrrrruuuno thinks she needs more self belief. Craig reckons they’ve already broken the rules and calls them ‘starchy and stiff”. Red rag to a bull for James…

18.25 James reckons he’s ‘every woman’s dream partner’. He’s certainly making Alex look good in this cha cha bar the odd stumble…

18.22 Erin’s really pleased with 27 and so she should be – they’ll be right near the top of the leaderboard. Alex and James now – there’s a lot riding on this as I got them in the office sweepstake…

18.20 Wow Craig tells him he has panache and Len calls the dance ‘first class’. Well done Rory!

18.19 Bruno agrees with me! He’s comparing the face to Norma Desmond – harsh…

18.17 I find waltzes very difficult to judge, but this looks like a decent effort. Strange fixed facial expression though…

18.16 Wouldn’t you just love it if Erin won at last? Not sure this is her year though…

18.14 28 is a great score – the bookies were right about Harry and Holly, even if they underestimated Anita. Here comes Rory – how long before he does a Brucie impression?

18.13 Handbags at dawn – Bruno and Craig are already squabbling…

18.11 Poor Craig! Len and Alesha are impressed and Brrrrrruuuno looks like he’s in love…

18.10 Finally a few cheeky faces towards the end! I reckon he’s one to watch though…

18.08 He looks a bit serious – his paso is going to be hot!

18.07 I must dig out my McFly CD…

18.06 Harry’s up first – can he live up to the hype?

18.04 There they are! Erin looks gorgeous, Anton looks dapper and that’s a sequin-tastic shirt Jason!

18.01 Interesting, Tess…

18.00 This is what Saturday nights are about!

17.58 Here we go – what will Tess be wearing? What will be Len’s funniest comment? Can’t wait to find out…

17.50 10 minutes to go – hurry up Masterchef!

17.23 Is it a rule that pre-Strictly telly has to be boring to cancel out the fabulousness of SCD?
