Michael Vaughan admitted that he was worried about his samba before he took to the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor this evening.
The cricket star generally struggles with the Latin dances more than he does the ballroom ones and this week he has put in hours and ours more training as he tried to perfect the fast paced routine.
Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton took her cycling to a new level last week in Strictly Come Dancing, as she rode a BMX down from the sky before taking to the Wembley dance floor with Professional partner, Brendan Cole, to perform a Passo Doble like no other to a seventies themed routine.
Their scores came in as 5,6,7,6 and whilst Bruno Tonioli said he felt the couple were overwhelmed by the space and Darcey Bussell’s commented that they seemed to lose focus, here is what the couple in question thought of last week’s performance.

Kimberley Walsh has her eye on Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli!
The Girls Aloud star is living with her long term boyfriend of ten years and is partner with the seriously gorgeous Pasha Kovalev for the BBC dance show, but still, it seems as though she fancies a piece of the Italian stallion!
In an interview for Heat magazine, the blonde beauty was speaking about the judging panel and when asked which of the four stars is her favourite, she saucily confessed:
It seems that cricket legend Shane Warne was left furious when Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli made a catty remark about him recently…
It all began when Bruno said of contestant Michael Vaughan’s “wooden” waltz last week, “You looked like Shane Warne after the makeover.”
TV Biz reports that after Bruno’s bitchy remark, former England cricket captain Michael said, “Warney was straight on the phone after that comment.
“He said, ‘Pot, kettle. Bruno’s forehead hasn’t moved in seven years.’
“I told him I’d relay the message.
“Shane is in Australia now but if I’m still here in November he’ll definitely come to watch the show… Read more & comment »
Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli is of course known for being brutally honest, with the emphasis on ‘brutal’ and his remarks about the departure of former judge Alesha Dixon have proved to be predictably blunt!
Alesha of course left the show to take up a role on the judges’ bench at Britain’s Got Talent.
Of her departure, Bruno said, “I’m not disappointed Alesha has left. That is show business.
“People make decision and good luck to them.”
However, he seems a good deal more positive when it comes to his opinion of new judge Darcey Bussell, who’s promised to be “harsh” in her judging on SCD… Read more & comment »
Strictly Come Dancing kicked off on BBC One this evening and Len Goodman seems pretty psyched about this year’s lineup.
The head judge revealed that he was elated with the producers choices of contestant and told Bruce Forsyth:
“Last year I thought we had a great line up, but this is the first time, I’ll be honest, this is the first time I’ve knew every single one of the celebrities. I knew them all. Normally I’m thinking ‘who’s that?’, but no, I know them all. And, you know… what’s great? We’ve got hunky dunky blokes and gorgeous girls… It’s a buffet of delight and I can’t wait for the 5th October. Come on!”
Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli has been talking to What’s On TV about this year’s show, which of course debuts tonight, and he’s apparently so eager to get started, he’s like a “coiled spring!”
He said, “I am like a coiled spring! It’s going to be fantastic!”
He added, “It’s the best night out you can have at home. The show brings everybody together and it’s so uplifting and warm – it has a real feel-good factor.
“The great thing about Strictly is that it keeps reinventing itself because of the contestants and I’m sure that this year’s characters will be just as interesting and as explosive as before.
“I always look forward to meeting the new batch!”
And of who he’d love to see competing on the show, Bruno said, “I think we should have Prince Harry on, he’s a good mover!
“In fact, we should do a royal Strictly, by Royal Command!” Read more & comment »
Never a one for being backward when it comes to being forward, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has predicted that Westlife singer Nicky Byrne will be the first celeb to be voted off this year’s show.
Speaking to TV Biz, he said of Nicky, “He may bring a little bit of beauty and charm but can he move those legs?
“Westlife were only famous for sitting on stools.”
However, Craig added that the show has a “fantastic” line-up this year, and he thinks that Texan model Jerry Hall will be a surprise hit with viewers.
But his favourite to win is Olympic medallist Louis Smith. Of him, Craig said, “Gymnasts have fantastic rhythm.” Read more & comment »
Bruno Tonioli has revealed that he does have a limited history with illegal drugs.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge is due to burst back onto our TV screens, in all his Italian glory, this Saturday night when the new series of the BBC show premieres but fans of the format and of his American series ‘Dancing With The Stars’ may be surprised to discover that the clean living star has taken both LSD and cocaine in the past.
In a very revealing new autobiography, the handsome star revealed that he once had a drink spiked with LSD, when he was a much younger man partying with friends in Munich.
Here’s the first look at the 2012 Strictly Come Dancing judges featuring glittering new star Darcey Bussell.
For the first time ever in Strictly Come Dancing history, all four judges will be seen dancing on screen as Len Goodman, Craig Revel-Horwood and Bruno Tonioli perform some classic Strictly moves with Darcey introducing the new judging panel, which premieres tonight on BBC1.
