TV time-saving tip: don't bother watching SCD on Saturdays, just catch the Sunday results show. They recap the whole thing, include a side-order of professional dances, and obviously give the phone vote result without a 24-hour wait. If any of the celeb dances pique your interest, you can always watch them on YouTube in their entirety, too. Result, no?
After last week's men's only start, it was ladies night for the celebrity girls...
JESSIE WALLACE & Darren Bennett
I don't think Jellie's, er Jessie's, especially attractive, but she has a cheeky wildcat attitude that's appealing. She certainly made a decent start, in a gold frilly dress with short skirt showing lots of chunky leg. Very wiggly and fun, if not very disciplined. Shame about the Flavia-like hairdo, too.GILLIAN TAYLFORTH & Anton Du Beke
Another EastEnder, but from a past era of that soap. To be fair, Gillian's quite good-looking for her age, and her worst aspect (that husky cockney voice) is mostly avoided in a dance competition. Here, she went for a long yellow dress that hid whatever lurks beneath, wearing her hair up. Stylish, but not that sexy.LISA SNOWDON & Brendan Cole
This year's prime piece of eye-candy, Lisa certainly made her mark with a tight-fitting silver/black sequined dress that showed off every millimetre of her fabulous legs. A tiny skirt that lifted considerably in spins only added to the whole effect. Gorgeous.JODIE KIDD & Ian Waite
Another hottie, but Jodie was sadly stuck with a long, flowing white dress and '20s-era hair. Still, hopefully this statuesque blonde bombshell will show some flesh next week. Disappointing start, have to say.HEATHER SMALL & Brian Fortuna
Hm. I just don't fancy her in the slightest – to many manly features for me, although that awful green dress at least boosted her cleavage.CHRISTINE BLEAKLEY & Matthew Cutler
A dark horse of the competition, methinks. Another saucepot stuck with a long dress, although her smiley demeanour and graceful performance left a mark.RACHEL STEVENS & Vincent Simone
The tabloids reports that the former S Clubber is against wearing anything too revealing, which is a bad sign. But, even though her aquamarine dress wasn't the skimpiest in the world, the petite popstar filled it out very well. Beautiful features with fluid and sexy moves – she should be dynamite if her tailor is allowed to cut loose. More flesh, Rach!CHERIE LUNGHI & James Jordan
The MILF of the group, in an apple green dress. A very graceful, refined performance. Not very sexy, but I like her sense of class and style. If I was 20 years older..."WALK THIS WAY" DANCE
The three international new dancers to SCD got to strut their stuff, with American Brian Fortuna the lucky dog who got a dancing threesome with Russian Kristina Rihanoff and Kiwi babe Hayley Holt. The girls really cut loose with a super sexy dance routine, in tight black dresses that hugged all the right curves. Awe-some.THE DANCE-OFF
Jodie Kidd or Gillian Taylforth? Well, I know who I'd prefer to see dancing next week, and I luckily got my wish. Gillian became the second celeb to leave the dance floor. I won't be crying over her absence, although I do feel sorry for poor Anton Du Beke. That guy is continually being lumbered with bad dancers. It's about time he demands to be given someone half-decent to work with. Maybe next year, Ant?27 September 2008 – BBC1, 6.45pm
