Strictly Come Dancing recap time! You’ll miss these when they’re gone, you know. Or you won’t. No skin off our nose.

So let’s reflect on the series so far. We’ve had new professional dancers, in the shape of Kristina and that sleazy-looking American bloke. We’ve had the biggest scandal of Strictly Come Dancing history with John Sergeant‘s resignation and, in “I am not doddery, doddery I am not,” we’ve reached the part of Bruce Forsyth‘s career where he discovers irony. We give it seven out of ten.

Anyway, here’s the Strictly Come Dancing recap for Tom Chambers…

Tom Chambers – As we all, know, Tom Chambers is only in Strictly Come Dancing for one reason, and that’s because of his ability to pull facial expressions that make him look like Mr Bean in a centrifuge. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if Tom is going to win Strictly Come Dancing, he needs to make sure that his partner is just as committed to the art of pulling bizarre, borderline-nightmarish faces as he is. And, heavens, did she ever pull it out of the bag on Saturday’s show.

We’re not talking about Tom’s second Strictly Come Dancing routine – a Rumba to You Needed Me that was so overwhelmingly lacking in any kind of intimacy that it at times looked like a little boy being forced to dance with his auntie at a family reunion, apart from the part at the end where Tom got to bury his face in her tit, which probably doesn’t happen too often in the aunt/nephew dynamic – but his first dance. That was a Foxtrot to Here You Come Again, and Tom Chambers’ partner managed to blow away the competition in terms of face-pulling by doing a perfect impression of a village idiot winning a milk bottle cap at a summer fete. It was beautiful – so beautiful that it actually made Tom Chambers cry. It was definitely his partner’s face that did that. Definitely. Total Strictly Come Dancing score – 73
