Ah... That explains something that has puzzled me. The show is on a Saturday, but our correspondent's updates only happen on Monday.
Well, I usually intend to post a report on Sundays but life has got in the way a bit so far this series. I've only just got back from the Cardiff flyin.

They've actually been leaked overnight every week, in every series since the beginning of time, if you know where to look, which actually I don't, but Mrs TC's parents always know on the Sunday, and are strictly enjoined from telling Mrs TC when she calls home.
So I won't know the results till tonight.
A few highlights....
Tasha and Aljaž's Charleston took them rightly to the top of the leaderboard, although 9-10-10-10 was well overmarked. Nines would have been fine, as it was brilliantly danced and packed with content, but not worth a ten in my book.
Other than that, Wynne and Katya's Tango was grossly overmarked, I thought, as she was clearly leading him through the whole routine which looked totally inauthentic to me. The male celebs are often faking it in that respect, but this one was a bit egregious. If something can be only a bit egregious.
Chris McC on the other hand is just getting better and better. His salsa with Diane was much better than I expected, great timing, lots of content, and needed very little in the way of explicit hand positioning from his partner. I don't know whether someone blind for a long age develops unusually good proprioception (it wouldn't surprise me), but his is really good, and he's getting quite watchable.
The other salsa was also excellent. Jamie really knew the routine, led it authentically - and thoroughly deserved to end up in third place.
At the other end, Punam's jive was woeful. Nothing really right about it at all, deservedly at the bottom, and ought to be very vulnerable in tonight's results.
Nick's Charleston was pretty awful, too, again, he could be vulnerable.
