Amy does suffer from Crohns Disease which needs treatment every now and then. She is a real trooper that girl <3

I found it a bit weird Andysmum, but obviously someone thought it a great wheeze :-S

I thought when Amy & JB were being interviewed she had some red areas on her forehead but thought perhaps that was just makeup even though it looked out of place :-(. I hope Amy is ok <3.

I was surprised to see Shayne in the dance off again :-0

I think though it was time for Punam to go although her Tango was good it did look as if Gorka was dragging her around at times:-0. That said I thought Punam had done very well especially as she is a full time GP, so well done to her :-)

Boy is it going to be difficult next week to choose, especially if they all up their game again :-(

It will be interesting to see how Icon Week turns out :-D

I was surprised to see it was Shayne as well. I liked his Paso although he could have done more dancing, that is down to the choreography though. He was definitely best in the dance off. However Punam came with no dancing or acting experience and a culture difference as well. To keep doing her full time GP job as well as learn all the new dances and characterisations was difficult for her and I think she did well to get this far. Interesting that there is a definite split at the moment with a group of good dancers at the top and the group of not so good at the bottom of the leader board. As you say Belle interesting to know what will happen next week That is twice Shayne has been in the dance off, maybe we are down to personalities now as much as dancing.

What a shame to see Punam go, but she was one of the few with no dance experience.

I think it always comes down to personalities Ann. People vote for their faves regardless of ability.

So we go on, and it will get more difficult each week. :-0

I wonder if Amy will be back to dance with JB. I am sure the stress and too much activity is not good for Crohns sufferers. Having said that I have a young friend who has had it most of her life and she regularly runs marathons.

Lauren Oakley is standing in for Amy with JB this week. DM report insinuates that Amy is hoping to be back next week. However Lauren is a good dancer so JB is in good hands

Icons Week tonight. Dancing to music by the likes of George Michael and Taylor Swift :-0

Another dragged out episode with lots of padding I fear.

With all the silliness going on, it may be the last year I will be watching, which is a shame because I did love the original format. :-(
