Just announced - next dance for Mark - Salsa

Vanessa upset by judge Cr aigs critique

I can imagine Mark doing the Salsa! Fun,fun,fun! Vanessa whining! Nothing new there then! Be good to see Deborah on ITT & lovely to have Ian back!

Sax

Oh what a shock - Vanessa can't take the criticism. Honestly! This is the 11th series of Strictly - I am sure she knew the deal.

Thanks for saving me the job of following them all on twitter B4P. I can't be bothered with twitter normally but in past years I have made an effort because you find out quite a lot from the celebs/pros. It's very good to have someone reading it and filtering out the rubbish on my behalf!

You're welcome Littlebear. I'm just catching some of the snippets

The Strictly film crew are following Susannah at her day job today.

Abby's dress collection for Matalan launches today in Liverpool

Robin and Ben are comparing chesticles

Tony is lined up by the bookies for the Sparkly boot award this weekend

Happy birthday to Caledonian Cr aig for today

Happy Birthday C C.raig! Ooh sounds good tv crew following Suzanna around breakfast tv! If its today they had Warhorse on! Love to see more.Abbey launching her collection so that's the reason for SCD!?
Sparkly Hoof I love it! Will it thou be Tony? Sophie bumping her head in training? maybe a lift as Sophie tall? Im sure it wouldn't havd dented her pretty face-she is so fragile looking

Still a lot of hard dances for week two! Cha Cha & Tango & Salsa! Who chose to have these dances so early on? Its not great viewing & the celebs do not get to learn basic footwork for long enough.Later on in the contest we can see progress the celebs have made with these dances!

Sax

Agree sax

I would still like half the celebs to do latin and half ballroom with 2-3 doing the same dance so that some sort of comparison can be made. Before long it will be time for prop overdose and themes and less time for basics. Oh well. I'll still enjoy the show whatever happens.

Poor Tess has been slated in the media re her lemon tart dress!
How can someone that beautiful get it so wrong when surrounded by so many designers?

Kristina had a photo shoot for the magazine G8 today
