According to Strictly Come Dancing judge and Italian fireball Bruno Tonioli, the Cha Cha is cheeky, saucy, playful and rhythmical, and celebrity contestant Chelsee Healey had all these qualities in abundance when she performed the dance in last week’s show.

The positive comments came despite the Waterloo Road star banging her head last week, after going outside with McFly star and fellow Strictly contestant Harry Judd and ‘being naughty’ apparently. We don’t know if this means having a fag or having a snog, but if it’s the latter, well you can’t blame the girl. Those looking at the Strictly Come Dancing odds should remember this.

Chelsee made a bit of a song and dance about her bump but disaster was averted with a cold compress and a swift change of hairstyle for the night’s live performance, which saw Chelsee sporting a comb over to cover the bruise. Phew. Anyone following the Strictly Come dancing winner odds should remember this.

What amazing hairdo the big-lipped, big-boobed, big-personalitied one will come out with next is anyone’s guess, but what we do know is that this weekend the Chelsee and her professional dancing partner Pasha Kovalev will be performing the Quick Step, which Chelsee is finding ‘quick’, shockingly. The twinkle toed duo will be dancing to a big band soundtrack and Chelsee will be donning a Britney Spears style air hostess outfit. Pasha’s only concern is that he’s been struggling to get Chelsee to concentrate during the rehearsals – less chat, more work Chelsee!

Strictly judge Len Goodman has described Chelsee as the dark horse of the competition however, so if she can get that attention span in check, she could see herself topping the leader board faster than you can say Paso Doble.

‘I’m going to call you the midwife, because you keep delivering’, said Len Goodman of Jason Donavan’s performance on this week’s Strictly Come Dancing.

This week’s Strictly show was a Broadway special, which saw the celebs and their professional dancing partners shake their tail feathers to the soundtracks of some of Broadway’s top drawing musicals, including Chicago, Mamma Mia, Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Kiss me Kate.

As with previous Strictly episodes, Jason Donavan’s performance was once again a true belter, as he tangoed along on his twinkle toes to I Will Survive with professional dance partner Kristina Rihanoff. Former Neighbours star and technicoloured dream coat wearer Jason has proved himself to be a strong contender and a front runner in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing from day one. Those looking for Strictly Come Dancing tips will know this.

We knew after his appearance and third place spot in ‘I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here’, that Jason was a favourite with the public and not afraid of eating the odd kangaroo testicle in the name of public acceptance. We also knew that Jase was no stranger to performing, having had a successful singing career in the 90s after Neighbours. Who could forget ‘Especially for you’, Jason’s chart-topping duet with Kylie? And then there’s Jason’s stint in ever popular musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat. All of which have left him totally at ease on the stage. People looking at the Strictly Come dancing winner odds should bear this in mind.

Whether or not you preferred Phillip Schofield in that colourful coat, there’s no denying that Jason is a whizz on the dance floor as well as on the stage, and we can’t wait to see what smooth moves he’ll pull out of the bag next.

In a move signalling a new harmony amongst reality TV shows, Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent joined forces recently. Well, kind of. This series of Strictly has seen Britain’s Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle perform a version of Unchained Melody in one of the results shows.

Susan got into the sparkly Strictly mood with a sequinned black dress and performed her cover of the hit song while professional dancers Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone, who’ve been dancing together for 13 years, performed a romantic routine. The two met while running from the Mexican Mafia after being falsely accused of stealing a donkey and a rabbit, respectively). They communicated via the medium of dance whilst stowed away in the same luggage compartment of a Boeing 747 and realised that, together, they could use their talents to fight crime and bring justice to the people of Mexico. But then they got invited to take part in Strictly Come Dancing and forgot all about it. Anyone looking at the Strictly Come Dancing odds should remember this.

Vincent’s celebrity partner in this year’s Strictly was former Tory MP, Edwina Currie, famed for not liking eggs, then for liking them again. She wasn’t very good at dancing. Flavia’s celebrity partner this year was the barrel of astrological campness that is Russell Grant. He had very flappy hands. People following the Strictly Come dancing winner odds will be wondering if he has what it takes.

We’re hoping for some more reality TV crossover in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. Perhaps an appearance from I’m a Celebrity, Big Brother and Dancing on Ice’s Kerry Katona. This must be the only reality TV show she hasn’t been in yet, after all. Other celebrity appearances we’d like to see on Strictly 2011 include either Bodger or Badger and Barry off of Eastenders.

Celebrities, sequins, and enough fake tan to sink the cast of Geordie Shore, it can only be Strictly Come Dancing!

The 2011 series is back on our screens along with all the old familiar faces. A newly knighted Sir Bruce and his chin share the stage with the beautiful but ever-dull Tess Daley and her perma-grin. Bruno Tonioli and his insatiable energy is barely contained as he sits next to the woman with the smallest head in the world, Alesha Dixon, who in turn sits alongside fellow Strictly judges, the lovely old Len Goodman and his ‘sev-ens!’ and acid-tongued Jason Revel Horwood, darling. Those following the Strictly Come Dancing betting will be keeping a close eye on them.

Celebrities performing in episode one included Lulu, who jiggled around the stage at an alarming pace after forgetting her moves and Russell Grant, who didn’t predict just how camp a performance consisting of him emerging out of a clam shell, like a little round dancing pearl, to the sound of Banarama’s Venus would be. Joining them was Holly Valance, of Aussie soap and one-hit-wonder (remember Kiss Kiss?) fame, Anita Dobson of Eastenders and big-haired hubbie from Queen fame, Dan Lobb of early morning television presenting and being-very-tall fame, Robbie Savage of football and looking-like-a-caricature-of-a-premier-league-footballer fame, and Audley Harrison, of boxing and being-one-of-the-largest-contestants-ever-to-appear-on-the-show fame. Those looking for Strictly Come Dancing tips will be wondering if he can pack a punch on the dance floor.

Holly’s performance was fairly competent, if not overly exciting, while Anita’s was unexpectedly rather beautiful, and Audley Harrison’s was more elegant than you might expect from such a man mountain. Robbie Savage mostly stood a lot while his pint-sized dancing partner, Ola Jordon, shimmied around him “like a wasp at a picnic” as Bruno so succinctly put it.

A fine selection of celebrities and a shimmering start to Strictly so far!
