Here are the training hours for this week, as revealed on Thursday’s It Takes Two:

I’ll provide the full list of who’s doing which dance in tomorrow’s preview.

On the show were Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan. There is still plenty of tough love going on in training.

Ola said: “When I shout at him I feel sorry for him.”

Chris added: “It’s usually accompanied by a tweak of the nipples.” I think we can assume he means his not hers.

He’s trying to play the role of a tough matador for their paso doble but he isn’t always successful. “I’ve got cape burns on the back of my neck,” Chris commented.

Ali Bastian and Brian Fortuna turned up to get all emotional about their maximum 40 for the Viennese waltz. Quite right too.

“I was in shock,” said Brian. “I had to watch it back to believe it.”

They did no training on Monday for this week’s cha cha cha because Brian had food poisoning. Oops.

Head judge Len’s masterclass will go down as an all-time classic. He and Winkleman recreated John Sergeant and Kristina Rihanoff’s paso doble when John dragged Kristina across the floor.

Winkleman proved to be something of an immovable object when she lay down but not before Len had been able to instruct her: “Take a firm grip and lower yourself.”
