The Daily Mirror are running a front page story of Hamza's dance background. He has apparently performed the Salsa and Paso Doble before.

OMG burn the witch! I love that this person has only come out with this the night before the final! Wonder if they’ve been frantically going through their DVDs for weeks trying to find the smoking gun footage of him.. standing on stage. I wonder if Helen’s old tap teacher is on the cover of the Sun..

Re: showdances: I actually think Hamza will be fine as his has a big band theme and styling ie tails so it will go down well and there'll be lots of lifts. I think Molly will be fine with Prince as I don't recall anybody ever using that (might be wrong). I worry that Fleur and Helen will be a bit of a jumble of stuff and both their songs accentuate that vibe - some wafting and random moves. Just hoping for some Vito filth.

Ex student from Uni days (sitting at home polishing his BA Hons 2.1 applied social science certificate) very bitter at Hamza success.

I'm not too worried about Fleur's showdance as she's going to bring on the sexy filth and AT was a real strength of hers - training looks like they've incorporated some of that.

Helen's, however - couldn't recognise the song when they played a snippet so I went and had a listen and it's bland generic crap. I can't see the dance coming off as anything other than the kind of forgettable dance pros do when they waft around a music performer on the Sunday show. Music makes a big difference.
 
I am slightly worried at Hamzas 2 dances , I mean they need to be in there but also they are too similar in energy and vibe. Having said that they were absolute crowd pleasers so it will work. They will definitely win on a traditional suit/fred& ginger music showdance.

Helen's choices are great (am I the only one not that impressed with her jive) but think it will have more punch now. The showdance song sounds meh. But she'll do it well because she's just going to enjoy and have fun rather than a bag of nerves

Molly - reckon their showdance choreography will be awesome.

Fleur.- pleased with the samba they are redoing. Re showdance worry she'll go hyper, spikey/intense like JLo but if it's more in hold dance over freestyle then it will be better (goes off to search the song it is to)

Does anyone really care if Hamza did a spot of dancing more than 10 years ago? Apart from probably James Jordan spitting feathers on twitter about it. By this point, I imagine most people just want to enjoy the final

Gorka said Helen's showdance is quickstep/Charleston based so should be playing to her strengths. I'd love them to win, but would be very happy for Hamza and Jowita if they get the glitterball

Slightly OT, but someone put a very detailed account on DS of watching the Blackpool show live. My favourite detail - during every VT, Motsi's hair and make up crew would run on to do touch ups, and they all wore sparkly T shirts that said TEAM MOTSI ❤️

Is it too early in the day to start a chant of 'WE WANT FILTH!!'??

There is no sign of who is choreographing Fleur and Vito's showdance so I fear that Gilkison may have a hand in it.. Helen's has a Quickstep element so at least some recognisable style.
 
Chaos all round...


Whoever decided to put Vito in a room with a whole load of e numbers and a microphone is a genius!!! 🤣
Carlos' excitement at a slightly stale looking profiterole is hilarious!
Hamza and his cow chat! 😂

And Gorka with all his lovely Gorka-ness!!😍🔥
