Charlie Baker and James Thornton tap dance for Comic Relief
One’s a comedian, the other’s an Emmerdale actor. We’re not sure which one is which, but Charlie Baker and James Thornton start off with their own Fight Club skit, Tap Club.
How do they top that? They do an old school routine – Putting On The Ritz. It’s hard to like this though, because Let’s Dance shines with the drag acts, and what Baker and Thornton did here was a very faithful (and quite charming) musical number. They carried it off beautifully, but I couldn’t help being bored a little in the middle. It felt like the routine dragged on for longer than some of the others.
Lee Mack: “I’m gonna ask the question the whole nation’s thinking – was that real tapping or was it sound effects? (Charlie gives a demonstration) I love Charlie, I love Emmerdale, I love tap dancing. What more is there to say?”
Jack Whitehall: “I thought it was brilliant, you did really really well. You looked like you were really really enjoying it. Especially Charlie, your face throughout the entire thing…you looked like a 16 year old boy that’d just found porn in the woods.”
Keith Lemon: “Could you do tap dancing before you did this? Because I think you could do Dancing On Icicles as well. It was like proper tap dancing weren’t it?”

Great tap routine – inspired by Fred Astaire ? Good luck in final
It was boring as hell, and he already knew tap so it’s unfair he was allowed to do it when the others didn’t have previous experience.
jI thoroughly enjoyed this routine inspired by Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and a few other great dancers. They should dance to the original MR Bojangles for the final.
