Review Week 4:- WHAT A NIGHT! Our 13 couples pulled out all the stops to impress you at home with some showstopping performances. We even got our first 10's of the series for Tasha & Aljaz which was well deserved. It's time for tonight's review.
So it's confirmed that CITV will shut down on September 1st. Well and truly the end of an era. 😭💔. I grew up with that channel with shows such as Horrid Henry Jungle Run and Art Attack. CBBC is going soon as well. Sad times for the Kids TV industry.
#CITV
A huge congratulations to
@pernicegiovann1
on 9 incredible years at
#StrictlyComeDancing
. He was one of the best pros on the show who provided the landmark/ BAFTA Award winning year for
#EastEnders
star Rose Ayling Ellis in 2021. 👏🏼
He'll be missed massively! 💔❤️
#Strictly
I don't understand all the hate for Layton at the moment. Is it his sexuality - Colour of his skin? Or the fact he has dance experience? With that said - none of that bothers me. Layton is absolutely Incredible A class act!!! Can't wait for next week already
#Strictly
.
What I find quite funny is how Craig says:
Krisnan was brilliant in the dance off
Vs
Angela's leg position slipped
Yet Craig still chose to save her. Clear favouritism has always been there. Angela has to leave next week
#StrictlyComeDancing
#Strictly
Despite the outcome - I'm still incredibly proud of Jeff & Freddy Brazier. What an incredible year it has been for that family. 👏🏼👏🏼 Bobby - A finalist on
#Strictly
now Freddy came 3rd on
#CelebrityRaceAcrossTheWorld
. Jade would've been so proud. Jeff is a brilliant dad ❤️
NOW THIS IS RAVI'S FULL REDEMPTION! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's taken so many years for Ravi to stand up against his toxic father and he's finally done it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
#EastEnders
#TheSix
Anton Du Beke proving once again why he is the BEST judge that
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
has ever had. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He's kind and fair to all the celebrities but is also constructive when he needs to be in a way that is calm and polite and not downgrading or patronising.
Sorry I agree with Craig. Layton's dance wasn't a 40. Layton has danced like this every single week. Every dance has been like a showdance. I feel like Motsi and Shirley are just favouring him every week now.
#StrictlyComeDancing
#Strictly
Before the Haters come at me - I'm judging Amanda on her dancing and technique and I thought she was brilliant. That was such a beautiful and Lush V.Waltz. Well done Amanda that was great. Lovely Storytelling. ♥️
#Strictly

#StrictlyComeDancing
This dance will continue to live in my head rent free for a very long time. I haven't stopped watching it! One of the best dances I've watched on Strictly in a long time. I still have total goosebumps. Layton is phenomenal.
Full credit to
@LesDennis
for giving the show a go and never giving up. He's very entertaining and he gave both of his dances his best shot. Having fun and trying your best is exactly what the show is all about.
#Strictly
A fantastic suprise from Nigel & Katya. Without doubt the dance of the night. He is so much better then he thinks he is and needs more confidence. He is INCREDIBLE! Katya take a bow you're a god with Choreography 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
#Strictly
Without a shadow of a doubt Ellie will make the final. She is getting better and better every week and she's developing into a confident and beautiful dancer. Vito brings the best out of her with his brilliant Choreography. Love this partnership with my whole heart. ♥️
#Strictly
No matter how much the producers want to sugercoat it - Mimii is OVER Ayo.
She's allowed to chat to him and still care for him - but that doesn't mean she'll get back with him.
Josh & Mimii are going from strength to strength and that's all we care about ❤️❤️
#LoveIsland
So happy for Bobby Brazier winning Best Newcomer at the
#NTAS
ahead of his appearance on
#Strictly
. What an incredible year he's had on
#EastEnders
. He's so humble and kind. Jade would be so proud of him. Well done Bobby and good luck on the
#Strictly
launch show tomorrow ☺️♥️👏🏼
I've given Ellie 10's for 4 weeks in a row. She is UNSTOPPABLE right now!!!! She is my winner and she's developed so much every single week. Vito is such a great teacher as well. Loved that dance.

One year since Amy read the T's & C's during her Cancer treatment. One year later she's back with a partner dancing with her SCD family.
We love you Amy! What a lovely full circle moment ❤️
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
I hope that
#Strictly
will do a poignant tribute to Len Goodman on the Launch show this year just like they did for Brucie after his death. Len Goodman was a significant part of
#Strictly
up untill 2017 and he loved that show more then anything. He'll be missed hugely

. WOW! WHAT AN EPISODE! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Without question One of The BEST episodes I've ever watched. That twist at the end with Linda being the killer and Keanu being the body totally caught me off guard! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TWIST! ❤️🤍💚💜🩷💙
I'm absolutely heartbroken for Tom & Nadiya 💔😭. I really liked this partnership and Tom was showing good potential. This show is so demanding and cruel especially for the taller celebs.
When will Nadiya ever reach a final? She is a brilliant pro

For the first time this series - Annabel and Johannes are in the Dance off. I'm really sad because she is what Strictly is all about. A complete non dancer who has blossomed up untill now and has fully enjoyed the experience. ❤️
I'm so pleased that Lola got the Julia's theme 💔😭 Such a beautiful Emotional ending for a Gorgeous love story. The best that EastEnders has ever seen
The Fox at the end was so significant -referencing Jay's talk about a Fox and Lola's time working at Fox and Hair
#EastEnders
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
4th Place:- Annabel & Johannes
Finishing in 4th place are Annabel & Johannes. My heart is broken 💔😭. Annabel was really what SCD is all about. From a complete novice She blossomed into a gorgeous and confident dancer. We love you Annabel ❤️❤️
Shoutout to Kai as well - He's an incredible pro. He's been partnered with AJ Odudu Kaye Adams & Angela Rippon. A real variety of ages just shows that he has good dynamic in the way he trains his celeb partners.
#StrictlyComeDancing
#Strictly
Jeff opening up on taking things seriously and his responsibility as a father since Jade's passing. This moment is so heartbreaking. 💔😭
@JeffBrazier
Jeff you're the best dad to your children and Jade would be proud ❤️

OMG just had a horrible thought - Karen is just like Carmel now in that they have lost 2 children in the exact same way on the Square.

Carmel -- Kush ( Killed by Gray) Shakil ( Stabbed) 💔😭
Karen: Chantelle ( Killed by Gray) Keanu ( Stabbed) 💔😭
NOW THAT IS THE DANCE OF THE SERIES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WOW! WOW! WOW! Well done Ellie so proud of you. A huge shoutout to Vito on Choreography. That was INCREDIBLE! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for the good times!
Ellie & Vito ain't just great dancers they are also really cute as a couple. They are the perfect couple and warm my heart so much. 🥰🥰 They are my winners! Ellie is on fire right now and knocks it out of the park every single week. 👏🏼

Although I love watching Layton and Nikita every week I actually want Ellie & Vito to win. A bit early to predict a winner( you may think) but actually Ellie is UNSTOPPABLE at the moment and is so consistent. I think she's a real contender. 👏🏼♥️
What a pure & humble guy
@tomdean00
is! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼. Keep your head up Tom. You should be so proud of everything you've achieved not just with
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
but also with the Olympics in Paris as well.
Your family would be so proud of you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've watched
@chrismccausland
's Cha Cha so many times now and every time I watch it I smile even more. Chris proves that no matter what there is no barrier in learning how to dance regardless of your disability.
@dbuzz6589
you're simply the best ❤️

Even if Nish survives this - he'll be going back to prison anyway. He owns the cafe. Suki knew what she was doing wanting to move Keanu's body there. She wants to get justice and the only way to do it is by Nish going back to prison. 👏🏼
#TheSix

My heart is breaking for Nikita. 💔💔. You can tell how much this competition meant to her. She was given 3 technically challenging routines but gave them all her best shot. Such a shame because she showed good potential. Gorka is brilliant as well.
#Strictly
Poor Linda really has been through so much:
🩷 Cancer.
🩷 Alcoholism
🩷 Rape
🩷 Abuse
🩷 Losing the love of her life
🩷 Now she's a KILLER!
Honestly how much more can a woman go through. 😭💔. At least Johnny's return next year will give Linda some optimism.
#EastEnders
That was a brilliant twist - So after 19 years Jake Moon reunites with Chrissie Watts after she was released on Parol.
This is definitely NOT the last we'll see of Chrissie. Especially given what Chrissie knows about
#TheSix
& the Ruby twist as well.
#EastEnders
What a year it's been for Bobby Brazier. What a beautiful Ray of sunshine he is. Jeff and Jade would be so proud of him. ♥️ What a delight of a young man. He's great on
#EastEnders
as well.
#Strictly
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
Krisnan really has been the biggest suprise of the series for me. He's always exceeding my expectations and he's better then he thinks he's going to be. He's improving a lot and really embracing the experience. Good for him! He's great.
Do you agree with my theory that Ruby & Theo could be working together 🤔🤔.
Surely Theo can't be that clever when it comes to Stacey's backstory. The only person I can see working with Theo to get revenge on Stacey and the Slaters is Ruby.
#EastEnders
#EastEnders
I really hope Bernie gets her own storyline next year. As the last Taylor standing - she's got a chance now to stand tall and show some independence.
The fact she threw Keanu under the bus proves she didn't need him in the end. This is Bernie's time to shine! ❤️
#Strictly
#StrictlyComeDancing
So glad that the public have united in voting for Nigel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. He was severely under marked last night. He deserves this and is working so hard.
I really hope this dosnt knock Bobby's confidence. 😭He's had a string of good dances the last 2 weeks and he's getting better and better. I wish the judges would give Bobby more credit. He's brilliant

Well done Jody you should be so proud for how far you come. ♥️ A real inspiration for so many people and despite your injury last week You never gave up and tried your best and that's what the show is all about. Jowita is brilliant too.
This is the first time we've seen Uma cry and show vulnerability. 😭💔. My heart is breaking for her. Trust and respect are 2 big things for Uma especially as this is her first relationship. It's took her so long to let her guard down. She deserves so much better.
#LoveIsland
The first time I've ever given a couple 2 10s in a row across 2 consecutive weeks. Layton really is unstoppable right now!!!! WHAT A RAW TALENT!!!! He is insane 🔥👏🏼👏🏼

My heart is broken! 💔💔😭😭. Annabel you're the brightest star in the sky. What a wonderful series it has been for you. You're what
#StrictlyComeDancing
is all about and Malcolm would have been so proud of you. We love you Annabel ❤️❤️😭💔
Kheerat & Ash need to come back before the 40th. With Nish leaving it's time to rebuild the Panesars.
Vinny has always been an irrelevant character - both inside & outside the family.
#EastEnders
It's like watching 2 professionals dancing Together.
#Strictly
. LAYTON WILLIAMS YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. That was a finalist routine. I am still shaking. WOW!
So that's Karen's exit confirmed for tomorrow night then. 👀👀 Just as I suspected. I'm not ready to say goodbye to Karen.
Love her or hate her - she deserved a better exit then this!
#EastEnders
Goodbye Tom "Rocky" Cotton 👋👋👋👋. Congratulations
@RealBrianConley
on a great few years on EE. Wishing you all the best for your future projects.👏🏼
#EastEnders
Chlo has been killed off in the first episode.
#WaterlooRoad
have just made a massive mistake. Why bring her back after all these years just to kill her off in Episode 1? Make it make sense.
💔💔😭😭😭
Couple 5: Bobby & Diane:
#Strictly
I predicted them since Day one and now they are together. 💖🎉🎉. Honestly this is a brilliant 2 matching personalities Diane will push Bobby so hard. Bobby is a natural mover as well. THIS IS DIANE'S YEAR!! Backing them all the way
#EastEnders
A huge congratulations to Chris Gascoyne on an incredible 23 years playing Peter Barlow. A brilliant character who will be missed. What a journey it's been. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
Wishing Chris all the best for his future projects.

#Corrie
I'd love for Harry Reid to come back as Ben. In my opinion he was one of the best versions of the character. His scenes after Paul's death were truly heartbreaking. 💔😭.
They did a "Reverse recast" with Peter now is the same coming for Ben? 👀
#EastEnders
I've just had an idea 👀 🪩
What if
@bbcstrictly
do an "All Star" Series this year to celebrate it's 20th Birthday.
Bring back some of the Best ( and worst) dancers to see how much they've improved or see if they are still good.
Would you like an all Star
#Strictly
this year?
The fact that
#EastEnders
has won in all of its public driven votes this year across the Soap Awards and the
#NTAS
speaks volumes. Our favourite Soap is back on form again and that is all down to Clenshaw. Could not be happier to be a fan of the show right now. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm not Ben's biggest fan - However I don't like how "Rushed" Ben's exit has been. Across 3 episodes Ben has been arrested for Fraud and sent down just like that.
Given how substantial his character was especially in 2022 he deserved a better exit.
#EastEnders
This is why I LOVE the
@petshopboys
. They have their own brand of "Pop music" and take the meaning of the genre to a whole new level. Their style and delivery is unique. They will never get old.
#R2InThePark
#BBCRadio2

Now this looks ICONIC 💥💥🔥🔥🔥
#EastEnders
Cindy Beale is set to return to Albert Square next week after 25 years alongside Ian Beale. They are set to send Shockwaves through the Square.
Bring on next week!!!!
Just because you have Autism don't let that hold you back. Cillian is a great magician and a true inspiration for anyone with Autism or a disability ♥️. Well done Cillian he shows the qualities of a great magician for someone who is so young.
#BGT
Without a doubt! One of the best
#Corrie
episodes of this year ( alongside Paul's POV episode). I'm so glad that the truth about Joel has finally come to light but my heart is breaking for Lauren & Dee Dee. 💔😭.
Channique Stirling - Brown & Cait Fitton were superb tonight. 👏🏼
Without a doubt Kellie Bright is currently one of the best actresess in Soapland. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Linda's scenes tonight in the Vic were so harrowing. Kellie has been giving the performances of her life this week.
Give Kellie Bright a Soap Award next year 👏🏼🏆🏆
#EastEnders
What is it going to take for the perfect 40????? Craig is getting very picky now. Ellie's Charleston was definitely worth a 40.

Eve to those who celebrate 🎊🎊.
Who are you backing to lift the Glitterball tomorrow night?
Ellie & Vito for me - but I always wait for the showdance before I vote as that always tips it for me.
So pleased that the show are finally exploring George's background. The first time the show has ever covered "Child farming". Very intrigued by where this storyline is going to go.
#EastEnders
Just to add as well on Les - He has a background in Musical theatre just like Layton but wasn't very good at dancing. Yet everyone complains about Layton because of his experience. Ballroom and Latin dancing is very different to musical theatre performance.
#Strictly
Can't get over that Felix scene in the pub last night. The way he stood up to Harvey over his attitudes towards HIV was incredible. 👏🏼👏🏼This is why Felix needs his own storyline. Last night proved he is more then capible of having bigger stories in the future.
