The other revelation was the dazzling Charleston exquisitely executed by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and his svelte and seductive partner Lauren.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not afraid to admit it when I\u2019m wrong, and I have been absolutely and entirely mistaken about Krishnan.<\/p>\n
Frankly, I thought he was an utter lemon, devoid of rhythm and with all the bounce of a bowl of cold porridge. Error! Gross error!<\/p>\n
The \u2018money money money\u2019 routine from Cabaret delivered one of the most dramatic transformations in Strictly history.<\/p>\n

He danced with verve and swagger, characterization oozing from every pore. No longer am I suggesting someone pack his bags and wave him off home. The chap is a hot contender and might stick around long enough to scoop the Glitterball.<\/p>\n Annabel Croft\u2019s Audrey Hepburn was the evening\u2019s tear-jerker. We were choked by her elegance, beauty and bravery in the face of agonizing and horribly recent bereavement.<\/p>\n Johannes, the partner she describes as her \u2018angel\u2019 clasped her close as she glided along with what Craig called \u2018regal\u2019 bearing.<\/p>\n We are already expecting fabulous framing from elongated dancing demon Bobby Brazier and his interpretation of Young Hearts Run Free in the arms of Dianne who looks ridiculously gorgeous as a brunette, was a joy to behold.<\/p>\n James Jordan used to whisper: \u201cThey can make you or break you with the film\u201d, so watch each seemingly casually constructed pre-amble like a hawk.<\/p>\n Some stories are pretty much guaranteed to win the candidate a couple more weeks on the show. Eddie Kadi\u2019s family history and delightfully loving warmth brought the man and his personality to life.<\/p>\n The audience, moved by the essence of the man, leaped to its feet after his masterly \u2018Men in Black\u2019 routine with Karen.<\/p>\n James didn\u2019t say this but others have muttered it: \u201cThey can make you or break you with the hair and makeup.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela Scanlon, criticized by some for having made a living as a professional Irish dancer, was given the hindrance of an unattractive pixie cut ginger wig and a \u2018classic\u2019 routine from Damn Yankees most of us have never even heard of.<\/p>\n No matter. She smashed it and cemented her position. No ginger wig puts Angela in the corner.<\/p>\n Is it churlish to say Angela Rippon didn\u2019t quite seem at the top of her game this week? We adore her, obviously but what should have been type-casting as Fraulein Maria from The Sound of Music, felt a tad more of a stretch than we would have wanted. Let\u2019s hope she aces it next week.<\/p>\n All this plus Anton doing his utmost to persuade us \u201cBlame the velvet!\u201d is a new catchphrase and Shirley actually using the Shakespearean favourite \u201cIt\u2019s never too early for a 10 from Shirley!\u201d and my cup runneth over.<\/p>\n If I\u2019d only survived till Movie Week I\u2019d have done the \u2018Never Can Tell\u2019 Uma Thurman number from Pulp Fiction and my Jive would have been sublime. Honestly, you\u2019d have loved it.<\/p>\n
