I’d love you to watch along with me as our surviving six couples return to the familiar Elstree Studios ballroom, bidding to get safely through to next week’s musicals-themed quarter-final.

I’m Michael, your virtual dance partner for tonight’s live show. Good evening and welcome to week 10 of Strictly Come Dancing 2023. Who will suffer a Blackpool hangover? Did everyone manage to catch the minibus back down the M6? Will they still be feeling queasy from the patented Blackpool diet of fish, chips, rock, Flake 99s, candy floss and late-night cocktails? Spike Jonze directed the video in the style of a Hollywood Technicolor musical and this routine is channelling that exuberant mood.20.00 CET Homecoming show for our hoofing half-dozen The 1940s German jazz song was covered by the Icelandic pop pixie in 1995 and became her biggest hit. They cheekily shush Craig at the end, which is… courageous.

Slightly ahead of the beat at times but cute, as hell and fab-ew-lous. Freedom in the solo sections but they need to fly flat in hold. Layton has been working hard on his footwork and smooth transitions. The choreography combines waltz, foxtrot and jazz. Layton is in a hot pink waistcoat with wide leg culottes. Can they go one better? They still haven’t scored a 10 for a ballroom dance. They scored a near-perfect 39 points for the third time last week. 20.38 CET Layton and Nikita’s American smooth Andrew Lloyd Webber once told Steinman it was “the greatest love song ever written”. It was offered to Bonnie Tyler and Meat Loaf was keen to record it but Steinman saw it as “a woman’s song”. The melodramatic 1996 power ballad was written by Jim Steinman, inspired by Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Song: It’s All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion. Great soppy storytelling but lacked a little sexy rumba-ness. A lot of walking around and pose-striking for me but it got into gear eventually. Needs fluidity and flow, so he’s got keep those Patrick Swayze hips moving. It’s staged among grey drapes in silvery outfits and the wind machine is deployed. Tear-jerking storytelling about a man who has lost his partner and dances with her spirit - “a bit like Ghost without the pottery”, said Nigel this week. Can he make amends and get over the disappointment? The rumba is slow, exposing and notoriously tricky for celebrity males.

Nigel Harman was annoyed with himself in Blackpool after making mistakes during that showbizzy American smooth.
