They would get to dance around the floor at the famous Tower Ballroom, so much bigger space, springy floor and they would have additional dancers too

Here’s Pasha and Ashley Roberts jive from 2018 Blackpool

None of them are looking outstanding really, but quite often the rehearsals can look a bit flat.

Thank You @LennyBriscoe!

I’m really underwhelmed by the rehearsal footage.
How come it’s always that clip we see of AJ&Kai? (including that weird leg hold).
John&Johannes choreography does not seem to fit the song at all?
Why is Rose walking?
Tilly looks quite flat.
Rhys looks like he has to concentrate so hard and
Dan… well I really don’t have words

I wonder if they choose footage on purpose to keep the element of surprise. Either that, or the couples aren't going full out in the routine, but are just semi-marking it. They do a few runs, don't they?

If you see anyone who is growing a moustache for Movember, then do sponsor them as part of the money goes to men’s mental health charities to help prevent suicide ( one of the highest killers of young men in this country).

Definitely. My cousin actually died by suicide this day last year I think that’s why that hit me so much. A man who was the life and soul
Anyway I don’t want to derail the thread!

I’m so sorry for your loss xxx
I have history of it in my family too, so always keen to promote that there are charities out there who are trying to help.

I’m so sorry for your loss too.
I do actually feel so sorry for men and I have young boys and I just hope they grow up knowing they’re never alone and there’s always help.

Ah man. I'm sorry about your cousin ❤

I'm watching.

Who's idea was it to match Ian Waite with Karim? They look silly.

 

[Guitarwarrior]

Ian and Karim look like a really awkward day out between a teen and his mums new fella

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Joanne Clifton is so annoying. Even mores than so than Kevin.

 

[BunnyLebowski]

Checking in gang! A tense night for me as I’m off on a hot date as soon as this is over

They’d go for a drink in the Tower Bar and then fall into the North Sea and watch their legs dissolve

Government has just announced changes to rules for travellers to UK following new variant. Wonder if this means Motsi will stay in UK till the end of the show?

All travellers to the UK will have to take a PCR test by the end of day 2 of their arrival; travellers must self-isolate until they receive a negative test result
