The Strictly Sweep – The Final Standings
And that was that then. The McFly double achieved. Dougie is crowned King of the Jungle, and now Harry is the champ in the ballroom. What a shame Danny was rubbish at opera singing. Still, there we are. As I’ve often said, the contestant on Strictly that proves to be “Housewives’ Choice” will invariably do … Read more

Trouble at t’Mill The preparations for the next Strictly live tour continue in earnest, with the news that Ola & James won’t be among the professional line up, revealed by James on Twitter: Myself and Ola will definitely NOT be doing the Strictly Tour! Just received an E-MAIL to say we are not needed!! While … Read more
The Strictly Sweep – Week 11
So that was the semi-final. Did you enjoy it? Exciting enough for you? It isn’t often you get oerfect scores for two separate couples in one evening. Not only that, but perfect scores for dances that aren’t seen as “the celebrity’s friend” – assuming any of them can be seen in such a fashion that … Read more

Pickled Resolve What’s to be done with the girl that can’t really take her ale? Why, stick her on a chat show sofa of course!! Judge Alesha, together with Judge Craig and Judge Bruno, made an appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man last week. For those that don’t know it well, it’s more or less … Read more
The Strictly Sweep – Week 10
Well, how about that then? I think that just goes to show that when you get to the last few weeks, the standard goes through the roof. For most of them anyway. We had six 10s dished out on Saturday, the most for a single week thus far. We had yet another almost perfect score … Read more

A Noble Gesture When Robbie appeared on It Takes Two yesterday, he commented on what a difficult week it had been for him this week, with the death of his great mate Gary Speed, who had been in the audience watching Robbie & Ola do the jive back in Week 4. Pro that he is, … Read more
The Strictly Sweep – Week 9
Life does have a way of putting things into perspective. I said on Sunday evening that it was probably a good thing that the results show doesn’t go out live, because there’s no way that Robbie would have been in any kind of mindset to actually do it having heard the news about his great … Read more

McFlying Low? Are McFly in need of the oxygen of publicity? Given that I wouldn’t have recognised one of them from another prior to the start of Strictly, and also given that I avoid on principle watching I’m A Celebrity… (ITV puts THAT on in the same timeslot as Downton??), it’s only quite recently that … Read more
The Strictly Sweep – Week 8
My apologies everyone, but you see owing to a very important appointment in Coventry I never got to see the Saturday spectacular from Wembley until last night. And it would be remiss of me to try and comment on the events without having first seen them. I mean, were I to do that you’d probably … Read more
The Strictly Sweep – Week 7
Reaching Wembley has been the first major goal of this season, as if you can get to Wembley, you can see the final in sight, and you know that maybe, just maybe, you’re in with a shout of lifting the Glitterball trophy. And so it was that everyone danced their little socks off to try … Read more
