Thanks for that Tongapuss. I taped the show this week because I only want to watch the actual dances, not all the chat inbetween. I am starting to see something in Chris and Ola that is lacking in the better dancers, Ricky Whittle & Ali Bastian. He has an engaging personality and they make a great couple - just like Tom & Camilla. Ricky & Ali leave me cold. Go Chris and Ola Chops !!!!
To what schmoopie said. Here here, you are so right, they are good this year but nothing like Tom was, he just blew everyone away. He wasn't embarrased about just going with it!! A worthy winner
Hard to believe this was his opening dance, it is so good. No one even comes close to that standard this year. Hope Phil Tufnell can get his act together. I am not usually a fan but he has personality and some ability so you never know.
In this dance, Tom is camper than Bruce Forsyth but, overall, I feel he is the best male dancer on the show. Austin is great too, but Tom successfully combines joy, ability and the best smile on TV! He's a serious contender for winning the 2008 series. I love him to bits.
This must be the best opening dance by a male celeb ever. The choice of music was perfect too. Lucky old Camilla, last year the Gorgeous Gethin and now a great natural dancer.
I have to say this was a very sexy dance! An to be honest I'm not a big one to critise Craig for being to harsh but calling him Smug?! Where was he looking?! lol go tom!
he has really good hips and even if he did a bad dance (not possible) but if he did he would be able to pull it off because he has that irresistable charm about him that no-one could resist.
you are so hot tom!!!!
and i love your acting i holby - never miss a show!!! you have my vote
true, but when him and Maddy get together (even just as friends) that could be argued - e.g. last time it ended with them stealing samples from a dead body!!!!
No idea who he is. Dont even recognise half of the celebs and the other half are barely famous. Most of them probably start getting dancing lessons months in advance of going on the show.
No doubt Camilla will shag him as she does every other dance partner.
What are you on about? The only dance partner Camilla has shagged was Brendan when they had an 8 year relationship. And for the last 3 series of Strictly, and now this series also, she has been with her boyfriend Fabio D'Alonzo. Your comment is unfounded.
theres always the smug one

Still the best celeb ever on Strictly. Shame the judges did not take to him, he was just too good for them.

Go Chris and Ola! I was a Tom fan last year and there is something about Chris that reminds me of him!

She is great with Tom and was FAB with Gethin last year! Both Gethin and Tom are perfect for her!

I'm fed up of Camilla's same choreography EVERY YEAR!
I understand that some cha cha step will obviously always be there but thats the reason why she is one the few pros to make the final!
Look at her other cha cha's they are almost the same but with different music!
Apart from that Tom himself was quite good although a bit cheesy lol!

When you dance you should keep your weight inclined forward over your toes, and you should almost never take a step forward using a heel first.:)
