But how would they fare on the floor?

CHRISTOPHER and HANNA waltzed to Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing". It had everything for the judges - "Well done Chris, for the first time," enthused Craig. "The best dance you've done!" said Bruno, "For the first time there was a rapport." Christopher put his remarkable improvement down to fear - "My mum's in the audience," said Christopher, "She's got eggs."

NATASHA and BRENDAN then samba'd to "Love is in the Air." Disaster struck - they got entangled in their microphones, "We got caught together, and we couldn't move!" said a distressed Natasha. That wasn't all - "Your arms were very lazy," sighed Craig.

CHRISTOPHER and HANNA then jived to "Do You Love Me?" - including a daring illegal lift that won staggered applause from the audience. Exhausted, they staggered off the floor. "Don't worry, I'll do the talking," said Bruce, "You just do the smile and the hair gel." "That was your best Jive," said Len. "Still naff," tutted Craig. "Illegal," said Bruno. Hanna fixed him with a glare - "Don't worry, we'll throw him to you later," Bruce reassured her.
