I desperately want Vinnie to lift that Glitter Ball once.
Is that too much to ask?!

If a singer can pretend to be a dancer then you've got an advantage. I remember Vincent saying to Louise, 'you're an actress, so act the part', and she did really well. Just go for it girl. You've got a lot of fans supporting you.

Felicity looks a bit lost at the moment but I'm confident she will find her dancing feet. It's very early days.

Vincent is so patient when teaching and has a fantastic sense of humour. I had dance lessons with him and he was amazing!! I was a total amateur and Im sure he must have had bruised toes every week after our lessons. They will be wonderful, cant wait for Friday!

Felicity,you are a sexy, classy, feminine, attractive woman with the natural poise of a dancer (these are things many dancers have to try to cultivate - you are lucky, you have them already)- granted you are not 21 anymore, but you can hold your own with these girls. You are looking good in training - I'm an ex dance teacher, so I know what I'm talking about. Remember, you are a great actress - act your way through for the first few weeks if you have to (it's an advantage some of the others don't have and would dearly love) and the the confidence will slowly start to kick in.
I have my fingers crossed for both of you for your first week.

I think she could be the dark horse in this years Strictly actually, if she can just get the dancing up to speed then she'll be there I reckon because she's bound to look gorgeous in whatever outfit they put her in!! Sock it to them Felicity!!!!
