Ooh that’s a great choice. I’m not really familiar with the dances either but it’s funny that without the pressure it’s a lot easier to find the perfect song that fits?

…yeah, I feel now that I have less pressure and more space to just explore the dances and the beat of the music for the dance…rather than focus on the songs, if that makes sense…?…I’m kind of a bit obsessed in looking for songs in the theme that would fit certain dances even though it’s just for the heck of it…now I feel more ready to actually play the game…I was ahead of my time of being ready when I was in there……or something like that….

Oti Mabuse here with your latest instalment of rhythm is gonna get you. The rhythm got its latest celebrity, Cheryl aka Kate and she joins us now

1. How do you feel about leaving?

Mixed emotions. I really wanted to stay and experience all the rounds possible. However I can't take it away from anyone who's left in the game. They are all very deserving and have brought it every week so I'm honoured to have made it this far.

2. Will you be joining the hot tub gang?

No because it's getting crowded in there and I fear for Ben's sanity.

3. What was your favourite week of the series?

When I performed Girl On Fire as Alicia Keys in the Masked Singer for the reality round.

4. What did you find the hardest dance?

All of them tbh. Matching dances and themes was certainly very challenging.

5. Is there a dance your gutted you didn't get to perform?
Street dance which would have been the next round.

6. Which celeb do you think could win?

Anne and I think I know who her person is but I'll keep that under my hat. I'd say Keira for runner up.

Great interview Kate.

And I can't blame you for not wanting to get in the Hot Tub either, as I've heard that Anthony and Makosi had both been using it prior to the first elimination.

Needs to be upgraded to a heated pool at this rate. We can get the non-finalists together to star in another forum reality series... Strictly TiBB: After the Dance

That sounds fun.

[Strictly Jake]

and now we are back to be joined by this weeks winner Chris Pratt


1. How does it feel to top the leaderboard?

Wow. Very happy. Wasn’t expecting it at all. Everyone did a top notch effort again.

2. Any gossip to give us about your next performance?

I’m going for strong emotions with my contemporary, so hopefully people connect emotionally to the song and dance.

3. What did you think of Cheryl/Kate leaving?

I would say shocked but every week it’s so hard to call as everyone is bringing their A game so it could be any of us at this point.

4. What's been your favourite performance so far of all the other celebs?

I really enjoyed Anne Hathaway and Kai’s jive to The Who My Generation. Thought that was a really clever choice.

5. Is there a certain dance your hoping to get further on in the series?

Street dance could be good, depending on the theme.

6. If you could choose a theme what would it be?

Great question. Maybe songs in a foreign language or songs from the year we (the celebrity) were born.

Me too. It's so joyous though I really liked looking up dances for this week a lot of them make me laugh. Hang on a sec at a couple I almost chose for the week, but I had to shorten it to 8 choices
