Next is Alf and Karen with their Cha Cha


Cherie: Not a huge fan of the song, but suits the dance

Toy Soldier: I'm afraid this still does cha my cha's... but I can see that I was rather harsh with my scoring on the night. It's still not for me but to make up for that very scathing score, I will stretch to 8/10

Kate: Great stuff

Toy Soldier:8

Cherie: Jazz is probably my least favorite music but again it suits the dance really well

Kate: Really good effort

Time now for our 2nd showdance

It's time for their penultimate performances!

Niamh and Graziano with their Irish Dance


Cherie: I really would like to give this a 2 as it is one of Mr C's favourite band and I am not really a fan however obviously it suits Irish dancing to a tee

Toy Soldier: Once again masterful, there's nothing to be faulted in this performance. It was the best on the night and remains the peak of the show

Kate: Very appropriate. Enjoyed this

Liam and Dianne with their Charleston

The winner will now be voted for by an anonymous poll

Now some closing words from our judge Barry!

Barry:

Niamh, Our Irish lassie! Shown her roots in Irish dance and has been a threat throughout.


Alf, done great in this series. He’s beat the odds and shown he knows classic music. He also picks each song down to the t of the dance.


Vanessa, I thought she’d be gone in week 4 but she proved is wrong. She understands the music and has proven to come back from a fight!


Liam, was in the lead most of the time and it’s shown in his choices of song


Anyone of these guys can win but I guess we will see who it will be!!

Well done everyone. Any of you would make a worthy winner:love:

This is our 4th showdance

Well I am ready to vote and have chosen.

I'm loving these showdances. :dance:
