Strictly - Week 8 LIVE BLOG

Live from Blackpool, it's Strictly Come Dancing! Tonight the top 8 contestants take to the floor, all hoping to do enough to stay in the competition.

An amazing group performance from the professionals and good to see some of the departed contestants in the audience.

The first couple to take to this magnificent dance floor are Patsy and Robin who will be dancing the samba. It's an energetic performance to open the show - I loved it! She looks amazing! The judges comments are mixed because she mixed up one move an Craig is slating some parts of it (for a change).
Score: 28/40

The next sequined warriors taking to the floor are Kara and Artem. Some worrying footage of rehersals and Artem injuring his neck. They'll be dancing the american smooth - fantastic performance and his injury didn't show at all. Three of the judges LOVE it but Len is calling foul on there being no hold during the dance.
Score: 35/40

The third couple are Matt and Aliona an they're dancing the samba. I really like their performance and will now admit that I think Matt is a hottie ... especially in that see through shirt. The judges love it (no comments from Alicia) but Len didn't like the backflips at the end of the routine.
Score: 38/40

Sidenote: I think Len is in a bad mood tonight

Couple number four are Felicity and Vincent and they're dancing the American Smooth. I've made no secret of my dislike of Felicity - she's a boring dancer. The routine is slow and laid back and there are a lot of swing lifts which just seem to be there to take up time. Mixed comments, but Alicia thinks that it's Felicity's best dance to date.
Score: 30/40

Sidenote: Vincent looks like a sex pest

The fifth couple are Gavin and Katya and they'll be dancing the American Smooth. Seeing him emotional about his kids just shows that he's the perfect man! I loved it - the lifts, when he was in hold and when he was dancing alone - he really has improved over the weeks. Craig called it lame an lacklustre but Len disgrees strongly. Alicia told him that he's heading in the right direction.
Score: 27/40

Sidenote: His bum in those trousers is HEAVEN!

Couple number six are Scott and Natalie an they're dancing the samba. Can he build on last weeks 39/40? The performance is full of energy and was amazing! Judges comments are mixed but Craig didn't like it at all.
Score: 32/40

Our next couple are Pamela and James dancing the American smooth. The routine brilliant - I loved the storytelling and the sensational lift at the end. Judges love it - Alicia called her the Queen of Blackpool!
Score: 37/40

The final couple taking to the Blackpool dancefloor are Ann and Anton who will be dancing the samba. The woman is hilarious and there were some amazing lifts and swings in there. My face is sore from laughing but at the risk of being unpopular, I think it may be tome for Ann to leave....
Score: 13/40 (which is being booed by the crowd)

That's it for another week - we'll have the results tomorrow evening.
