That doesn't actually say that. Uses a lot of "its reported that..." and "apparently..."

And for some reason, the Telegraph is just using the story from The Mirror anyway.
I think it's just a huge bummer

Now it's PTSD, from appearing in Cabaret!

Now I do like Will Young, and I do understand mental illness strikes anybody adn in unpredictable ways. But somebody needs to help him just keep quiet and help recover from whatever he's suffering with. He started off ok just leaving the show but it's all coming out in a very strange and possibly damaging way. Shame.

I'm about 15 mins time-delayed...

What on *earth* is Tess wearing???

Also... if they are ploughing ahead with an elimination this week, how is this going to work with Will Young out? Surely the only options are
  1. no elimination one week
  2. cutting the series short by a week
  3. bringing back a previously eliminated contestant like they did in Robot Wars

Not impressed with Tess's dress either, celebs dresses have been lovely so far though.

They could miss one week before Christmas special. I don't think they should bring an eliminated person back - how would you choose which one?

I don't think they should either. It worked in Robot Wars as the robots are static with no scope for improvement. With dancing everyone us getting better each week. That option will have passed after this weekend, in my opinion.

I like Ed Balls, but that was a disaster.

Top marks for trying, and I got the impression that it all went horribly wrong and if he had to do it again it would probably be better. Maybe he will have to "tomorrow".

I think Ed and Naga might be in the bottom 2. I thought Lesley did exceptionally well this week - the stamina she's got!
Are all the songs/music live recordings?

For a 71 year old, Lesley is unbelievable. Standard very high already, particularly among the male celebrities.

Don't they have four in the final with one eliminated part way through or am I imagining it? If so, perhaps they won't do that this year and just have three finalists as an 'extra' show.

As for tonight, Ore's going to seriously challenge Danny if he keeps this up, what a dance to end the show with.

Agreed. Just saw Ore's dance now and that was amazing.

Ed was really dreadful. Naga looked like she might finally come good but then it all fell part and was fairly grim too.

Danny was predictably and unexcitingly good. Ore was excellent, amazing footwork right through. Louise looked lovely, I don't care what dancing she does.

Daisy wasn't as sexy as i expected but not bad, Claudia pretty decent and cute again, Greg was alright.

Hopefully see Naga and Anastacia in the bottom too, but wouldn't miss Ed either if he went.

I think Ed will be safe for this week, he too popular (which is odd for an ex MP!) but I think Naga and Anastasia could be risky. Maybe Laura as well because of the public. Daisy possibly as well because I don't think she will have a lot of fans

Never seen much in Daisy and, to me, Claudia is just too tiny !!. I hope Laura and Louise go through (and Lesley !) - possibly Naga too as I think she's only just starting to significantly improve. Ore is clearly an exceptional dancer and deserves to be in the final few.

Ed definitely had a car crash of a dance last night, but I would lay good money that he was better in rehearsal. You could just see it on his face, especially towards the end of the dance where he gave a little smile as if to say "yep, this is fked".

I think he's winning people over because, not only is he quite amiable, but it's clear that he's really taking it seriously and trying very hard indeed. Of course, he doesn't have Danny's or Ore's dancing ability but I don't see him as a joke either.

We could well see Ed in the dance-off tonight but, if we do, I think he will do a better job of his dance the 2nd time round, and that's what the judges are meant to judge on.

It was a car crash alright, but a very camp car crash.

Still watching last nights show. Danny's dance was a 10 by any standards, but they seem to undermark slightly in the early shows.

Predictable dance off, and a predictable and sadly deserved exit. Wouldn't have been bothered which of the last three went really as none are natural dancers or easy to watch.

Roll on next week
