This is Nigel very first ballroom, so I don't expect it to be perfect.
But he will improve for sure.

[Kate!]

So this week Nigel has a jive to the Batman theme.

This is gonna be epic.

Nigel has taste, Adam West is the only one OG Batman yup


why play any different batman than the OG


Katya as Robin well, tbh Robin can be also a feminine name so clever thinking there



Angela & Kai meanwhile also getting on so lovely, Kai has the right tactic for her too, in the training room more working on technique rather than too much fast paced movement, perfecting the technique first is also very clever, and good not to waste too much energy given her older age, their QS training looking good too


Annabel & Jojo looking fab too with their waltz training, apparently some heel turns Annabel immediately did right on her first attempt and Jojo was so proud of her

[Kate!]

Please stick to discussing Nigel in this thread, not the other contestants.

[Vanessa]

Nigel is still favourite to win.
I think he's due a speciality dance.
The American smooth would really suit him or the AT

[Kate!]

Salsa for Nigel week 3

[Vanessa]

Omg what an incredible track for a salsa!
And he gets to work with Jenny Thomas!

[Nicky91]

fab Salsa music indeed


was also used few years ago on german lets dance, for tv chef Chakall's salsa




traditional salsa music too

[Vanessa]

Hope we see some training footage today. We haven't seen any from anyone.

[Vanessa]

Nigel has picked up an injury. It would explain why he couldn't go all out last week.
But he seems better and the salsa is shaping up nicely.

Good news. Hoping for better scores this weekend.

[Nicky91]

Yes, he injured his leg last Saturday before the show.
Apparently he couldn't even dance. Managed with physio.

[Nicky91]

Jive is a tough dance for you physically anyway


good thing the show has a good physio team too

[Nicky91]

Na Na Na Na Na Na Nigel




last night on ITT, below his name that tagline and Fleur saying that to him

[Vanessa]

I just hope he can dance tonight.
Hopefully the leg is better.
I love the salsa. It's so much fun!

it had been a good week he said on ITT last night



Tyler having been in awe of him, how he saw in the corridor when they walked to the studio

[Vanessa]

Omg that was absolutely brilliant. I loved it so much!

[Mystic Mock]

He is a good dancer imo.

The judges are bizarrely harsh on him.

[Vanessa]

Definitely deserved all 9s. But I'll take it. It's a great score.

[Vanessa]

I love his comment that he wanted to come out of his shell. And he certainly did.
Also love his bromance with Giovanni

[Nicky91]

nah decent scores, nothing too overmarked anyway, public don't like judges pets


let Layton follow the Aston Merrygold overhype route pls, same ''shock exit'' somewhere down the middle too pls, or earlier, the earlier he leaves, the better for me



i see Nigel in with a chance to win maybe

[Kate!]

Nigel has the Foxtrot this week.

Song is I just wanna make love to you by Etta James.

He's so gonna smash it!
