Shirley Ballas is on Desert Island Discs. She’s very ‘I pulled myself up from nothing and there’s no excuses if you can’t do the same’.
She‘s exactly how I imagined her to be.

I’m not sure if they’ve used the same Charleston choreographer for a long time but Pasha and Kimberley Walsh had the cartwheels in their Charleston back in 2013 (Ten bloody years ago, how can it have been that long ago?!) but it was executed a lot better last nightI loved the cartwheels!! I actually laughed!! It was so much fun!!! 🩷🩷 And I really loved how much Layton was surprised at how much he enjoyed it!! That made me so happy because the Charleston is a happy dance and that's how it should make you feel!! 🩷
Wow still impressive from her!!I’m not sure if they’ve used the same Charleston choreographer for a long time but Pasha and Kimberley Walsh had the cartwheels in their Charleston back in 2013 (Ten bloody years ago, how can it have been that long ago?!) but it was executed a lot better last night
Was she not totally manic though when Joe got to the finalI’m actually a bit concerned for her welfare when her and Bobby inevitably don’t win and she crashes and burns after the show.
Poor Bobby. I just want him out of her clutches at this stage.Was she not totally manic though when Joe got to the final
I definitely have memories of her jumping into her IG comments even back then very over the top defending of choreo choices when Joe was very wonkily lifted in the technicolour dream coat routine .
I have a feeling all will end well though with a big announcement -
Joe in a black suit with a dickie bow stood on the stairs, arm around Dianne his other arm around Bobby's waist looking dreamily at them both
" we didn't win the glitter ball but we did find something even better, were now a thrupple"
It was the paso Colin the caterpillar that I couldn’t stop looking at.Poor Bobby. I just want him out of her clutches at this stage.
Her hair really spoiled the costumes, which were really lovely, in their first dance. I found myself looking at it like this .
Big Tory energy from Shirley there. Everyone has unique experiences and circumstances that can impact their ability to pull themselves up from nothing...Shirley Ballas is on Desert Island Discs. She’s very ‘I pulled myself up from nothing and there’s no excuses if you can’t do the same’.

Anything before the semi-final is fair game. Last year Helen did her Musicals Week CC - so from a fortnight earlier - and Rose obviously reprised her CC.Are there any rules for what dances can be reused in the final? I don’t think they should be able to use a CC and I think it should be a pre-Blackpool number as if it’s one of the more recent dances it could put them at an unfair advantage when others are trying to remember older dances.
This is true actually, I wouldn't mind seeing her foxtrot from week 2 as it was great even then, that would free up the chance for an old school broadway ballroom showdance. As long as it's nothing like last nights I don't mindI'm sure Ellie would do the AS and paso - I have mixed feelings because I would love to see a big band/Broadway showdance from her but if she does the AS that won't happen. So I am on my knees begging Vito (no, not like that) not to do another contemporary dance - ballroom, please!
I honestly don’t think the Pro’s get a choice, it’s more the Dance Allocation Team/Mr Gilkeson trying to get ina. Final Romeo and Juliet. There is generally a choice of pop video, contempowaft, a big band ballroom and a best bits mash up and it just depends who gets pulled out the tombola as to who gets what.I'm sure Ellie would do the AS and paso - I have mixed feelings because I would love to see a big band/Broadway showdance from her but if she does the AS that won't happen.

IKR. Last year we had Molly's rubber glove extravaganza (Dua Lipa medley mark I); big band (Hamza); Lovely Ballroom (Helen); and best bits (Fleur). I'd hope the producers would go for some light and shade, but last year Fleur had two upbeat dances (samba and CC) and then a paso-style showdance. At least hopefully Ellie will be spared the rubber gloves again.I honestly don’t think the Pro’s get a choice, it’s more the Dance Allocation Team/Mr Gilkeson trying to get ina.
