Worst Dance:





Both shows were great in my opinion. There were a few surprises. Matt Baker defied my expectations, as did Gavin Henson and Pamela Stephenson. Paul Daniels is just a failure. Ann Widdecombe was immense. I expect her to be the new John Sargent and we all know how that turned out. Michelle Williams was a real let down. I expected great things from her but it just wasn't. 


What did you think? Are you looking forward to next weeks show?
