Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan - Charlston

Return of the crazy face of Chris Hollins.

This is looking improved over their original Charlston, which definitely bodes well.

A very good performance, a little untidy in places (though I suspect that's the essence of the dance) and I'm going to give it a 9.

Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke - Charlston

Well a dance that requires a major dose of character, shouldn't be a problem for Anton!



A great story and performance and the most enjoyable Charlston of the night, seeing as I've given an 8 and 9 I'll have to give this a 10!!!

Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna - Charlston

Yet another injury has hit the current series of Strictly, one really has to start wondering if this series really is cursed!



So far Ali appears to be coping with her injured ankle well.

Another energetic performance although the exit from the first lift looked a little messy.

Preferred this performance to Chris' so I'll give it a 9.

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan - Charlston

This week is going to be interesting then - two dances that I've never danced (albeit their elements feature in Quickstep and Jive). How to judge a dance you have no experience of...I'll be in the same boat as Alesha for once!



I know Chris is going for attitude, but I do wish he would keep his mouth shut, or at least do something different than the strange tongue-out look he's got at the moment!

An interesting routine, very bizarre overall. I think Chris has definitely encapsulated the character of the dance.

I found it a strange experience but I'll give him an 8.
