If it's Saturday, it must mean Strictly! We are hours away from this week's live show and we can't wait for the dancefloor to play host to the Argentine Tango and the American Smooth, amongst others.
As ever, we are there to get all the behind the scenes action for you before the show tonight at 6.55pm on Ö÷²¥´óÐã One.
Take a look and see how our couples are getting on during the dress rehearsal.
No creases for our couples
Sparkle, sparkle
Look who popped back
Artem is here to give Brendan and Holly his support
A relaxed Harry before rehearsal
More Strictly sparkles
Audley and Natalie get the party started
Jason and Kristina are ready on the floor
Robbie and Ola during their rehearsal
Chelsee and Pasha look elegant while performing
Alex and James during their rehearsal
New duo, Holly and Brendan, take on the Rumba
Harry and Aliona set the mood during their rehearsal
DON'T MISS Russell and Flavia's performamce tonight
I think they might be Alex's footwear
It's all about the sparkly bling at strictly

So Good Luck to Team Savola for tonight and hoping that Robbie can smile through his motion sickness in the spins!!

My 4 year old grandaughter saw Bruce singing on the Sunday show and suddenly announced that she 'loved him and was going to marry him when she was grown up'!!!!! After we recovered, and asked her why, she said that she loved his singing! I think she will be glued to the set now just for him.

I've a foot firmly in Robbie's camp (looks like an elegant Robbie again, going by the pic above) but the other foot is dithering...

Good luck especially to Holly, as it must be quite off-putting to get a new partner half way through the show.

Good luck to all.
On the cocktail front just shout if you need a refill. Barry the Butler is already twirling the cocktail shaker. He has donned his poncho and, I am afraid to say, hasn't shaved to add to his idea of the Argentinian gaucho look. (What would Lady Mary say?)

At 13th Nov 2011, strictlystarlight7 wrote:Yes DDD, Chelsee does not have an extreme following. I think that Heart listeners are voting for Jason, he was on heart last week and the week before talking to Jamie and Emma about his progress. FHM readers are voting for Holly (she also has her high end celeb friends ie David Walliams and Princess Beatrice), Harry has his Mcfly fans voting and married women who secretly have a crush on him. I do not watch Waterloo road and many people think Chelsee is too young etc. Last year Kara did well due to her dancing (in which I think she had a past background in dancing) also Eastenders fans voted. Also the connection with Artem was evident and easy because they fancied the pants off each other....sadly I don't know if that works in favour for Anita and Chelsee.
