Oh great, now we’re in for another week of bitching about John Sergeant – Cherie Lunghi’s out of Strictly Come Dancing.
Cherie was voted out of Strictly Come Dancing because her Cha Cha Cha to Play That Funky Music was a little bit hit and miss – for the first time in ages Cherie got her legs, and therefore her knickers, out in the dance, but it was let down by the way she just lurched from one pedestrian pose to another without anything in between. And in yesterday’s dance-off, the Strictly Come Dancing judges told her that they wanted to “see little bit more Wild Cherry coming out”. We’re pleased she didn’t oblige, because we’re pretty sure they meant her clitoris.
But now that Cherie Lunghi is no longer a part of Strictly Come Dancing, who’s going to win? Here’s part one of our Strictly Come Dancing recap for the week, for Jodie Kidd and Lisa Snowdon…
Jodie Kidd – Now that Strictly Come Dancing has shed most of its chaff, Jodie Kidd has never looked so precarious. That’s mainly because she’s started referring to herself in the third person – not as ‘Jodie’ but as ‘Jodes’. Honestly, animal torture would have probably endeared her to the public more than that. But as for her Strictly Come Dancing routine, Jodie Kidd performed a Quicktime to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on Saturday. Since Jodie is so tall, the potential for massive audience-maiming limbflail was gigantic – but somehow Jodie Kidd pulled it off. The dance was fast and dynamic and fluid – even though she was wearing a dress so long you couldn’t really tell how quick her steps actually were – and the Strictly Come Dancing judges fell in love with her all over again, describing the dance as “Bright and light, like skipping across hot coals.” However, next week Jodie will probably have to perform a Latin dance, and then she’ll probably just thwack about like a baby deer on an ice rink until she gets sent home.

Lisa Snowdon – After riding so high in the Strictly Come Dancing rankings over the last few week, Lisa Snowdon had to slip up at some point, and that point came on Saturday. Lisa’s Strictly Come Dancing performance was a Samba to Rock The Boat, and she wasn’t getting it during training. Cue Lisa’s sisters barging into the studio covered in balloons and feathers, which was a mistake. We know that the Samba is supposed to be a party dance, but not necessarily a hen night party that ends in vomiting and a fistfight in a Wetherspoons car park, which is how the Snowdon sisters apparently interpreted it. And this bled through to Lisa Snowdon’s performance on Saturday, which just wasn’t particularly convincing. “There’s a tension inside of you, and you didn’t go with the flow,” the Strictly Come Dancing judges told her, and we can see their point. Lisa Snowdon undoubtedly lost marks because she couldn’t clomp around like a dead-eyed cyborg in the Samba, and that’s possibly what she’s best at. Strictly Come Dancing score – 30

P Thomas says
Some years ago Cheri Lunghi said, “With age” she says, “comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself”. Obviously a victim of self deception.
