Strictly Super...

Dear Strictly Come Dancing

How excited am I...you are back - with two nights and 16 dances a week...wicked!  Brucie's on form, Tess looks great and I'm lovin' the new two night format. Giving the celebs the chance to do a Ballroom and a Latin routine right from the start is definitely 'the goods'...just think, we'll never know what hidden talents all those poor early-exit-ers from the prior series may have had that we never got to see. 

So who are my faves at this early stage?  Well here's my top 3:

1. Craig Hollins - he looks way too cute (bit like Dec from Ant 'n' Dec don't you think?) to bring on a mean tango and then a rauchy rumba. But bring it on he did - way to go sunshine!
2. Ali Bastion - gorgeous and talented and can't believe she's not danced before. But time will tell - I'm not so sure I can see her in a cheeky salsa or sexy samba but amazing for week 1 - you go girl!
3. Ricky Groves - the dancing technique may be a bit suspect but man o man the boy can give it some!  Could not stop grinning at his cha cha cha...fab-u-lous!

And about Martina Hingis being the first to go? Honestly, I was not really fussed either way and Len did hit it bang on with the donut-without-the-jam comment (looks great on the outside but a bit disappointing once you get into it) but she was very gracious and kept smiling so good for her.  More gutted about Matt Cutler exiting with her...sigh...

5 days to go until my next fix of sequins, stars and Strictly...how nice to have your glitz and glamour back for a few short months...and looking forward to your brightening up the chilly evenings ahead.

Yours in dancing
