Omg Jenny Thomas is working with Karim and Amy. I'm so excited! Last year her Joe Sugg showdance was phenomenal!
A very talented lady.

AJ: all the best dancers have danced at blackpool

that bit was so hilarious this weekend

me: yes Ed Balls danced at blackpool

[Vanessa]

I'm sooo excited for Blackpool.
Let's just enjoy our favourites for as long as we have them. Anyone could go at anytime from now on.
And well done to Mike for making the final eight

[Nicky91]

Emma having american smooth, the dance Anton went out on at blackpool with Fiona Fullerton, Judy Murray, but on a more positive note, he also had that dance with katie derham there

oops

Joe and Dianne! I'm so happy!

When do the celebs go to Blackpool? Alijaz and Johannes are already there, apparently

[Vanessa]

Im very happy that Catherine is on the tour. I look forward to seeing her rumba again.
For Karim, I want to see his quickstep and salsa. Possibly his Charleston also?

[Vanessa]

I'm getting bored of Kelvin and the hips thing. To be honest, I find Michelle and Karim much more interesting as people and performers.
For me Kelvin is a one trick pony. I'm yet to be impressed by his ballroom.

[Vanessa]

I'm seriously very excited about Michelle couples choice. Vogue is such an iconic video. Just recreating it would be incredible!
And of course I love the Charleston

Reports out today saying Michelle is unhappy on the show and no longer gets on with Giovanni

Well, they're both fiery people. So I expect they do clash a lot. But they manage to produce some great dances.

Don’t believe that whatsoever

[Nicky91]

who told those reports, either dailyfail or wootton

Michelle isn't unhappy at all, was on it takes two last night, also very lovely to Gio, respecting all his choreographies, how he makes her work hard (which is what she wants)

[Vanessa]

Today it's Karim birthday. Happy birthday to my Strictly favourite!

She’s even signed and RT’d the petition for her to be added

Although surely she could just ask the producers and they’d be able to add her?

You’d think so, she’s one of the most popular celebs this year so it’s a bit of a dumb decision, what if she goes on to win? They can’t have a tour without the winner on it surely

I think seeing as they’re the only two left that aren’t doing the tour, her and Chris will be the next two out tbh.

Imagine choosing blatantly unpopular, 4 time dance off member Mike Bushell, over serial stunner Michele Visage, madness.

Well she unfortunately won’t if she’s not on the tour - they’ll do everything they can to make sure she doesn’t make it. Although Tbf, Dr Ranj was on last years tour and 3 celebrities ahead of him weren’t.

I know Charles Venn didn’t tour, and he made the quarter final so we could have Michelle for a few more weeks.

[Nicky91]

Karim's charleston moves looked quite sloppy i saw on waite's warmup last night

but that song choice of his is that super fast so i can understand it being extra tricky to be fast and technically good

I'm surprised they put Mike in there. Should have been Michelle. I heard Craig is behind the tour.
That's why I'm shocked Michelle isn't there.
Very surprised to see Karim in it, but I'm not complaining!

[Strictly Jake]

Cant believe that michelle really wanted to do the tour amd wasnt signed for it...id understand if she had declined it.

Crazy decision

But its ok i wont be going to see it anyway

[Barry.]

Glad I'm not going this year then.

Craig only directs it, I don’t think he’s involved with casting.
