After the trial, Gillian - who almost fainted again during her ordeal - said that she felt 'exhausted' and 'relieved', adding 'but I felt really bad for Sheryl.'

Sheryl was also full of praise for Gillian, saying afterwards: 'She did absolutely fantastically today because I thought at the beginning she wasn’t going to go in but she did and we’ve got five stars.'

The group were later rewarded with five meals to share between them - but were unimpressed after learning the meat was camel, on the hoof

Flavia cha-chas away with ANOTHER partner

She's already quickstepped away one TV dance partner.

Now Strictly Come Dancing star Flavia Cacace appears to be making a habit of reeling in her male consorts – after dumping her 2007 series co-star Matt Di Angelo two weeks ago and replacing him with her partner from this year’s show.

On Wednesday onlookers saw Italian-born Miss Cacace enjoying an intimate evening with actor Jimi Mistry, the man she was paired with on this year’s competition.

Strictly Come Dancing 2010: Good Life over for Felicity Kendal as she's given the boot Mail

I wish the people who bother to vote would stop allowing themselves to be manipulated into keeping the likes of Ann on the show, and the other jokes on the X Factor.
They would be better off showing the power they have at their finger tips by voting off the patsies both show have on every year in week one.

If they think Simon Cowell or the powers that be on SCD are not rubbing their hands together with glee at the money they rake in every week from the phone/text revenue to keep the fools on the shows - they deserve to be taking for the ride they are on.

If anyone was unsure whether Kara Tointon and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Artem Chigvintsev have been practising more than the waltz together, their heated row today seems to have proved their intimacy.

The EastEnders actress and her Russian dance partner appeared to have had their first lovers’ spat while being snapped leaving her London flat together shouting.

Kara was photographed pulling her hair in frustration and pointing her finger and Artem as she yelled across the street at him.

Reality Bitesize: The TV catch-up Independent
Strictly Come Dancing

The story so far...

A rag-tag collection of people (let's not say celebs) come together to practise their quickstep. It's heav-enly viewing, thanks to the "are they, aren't they" factor and it's enjoyable in the same way as watching newsreaders humiliate themselves for charity. The interesting thing about Strictly, as the fans know it, is that those taking part do actually have to make an effort – much more so than sitting around in the jungle, enduring a faceful of rat every now and then.

Felicity Kendal and Patsy Kensit provide the glamour, while Ann Widdecombe and Paul Daniels are equally odious. Daniels exited soon after the season's start, while Kara Tointon (no, I've never heard of her either) and rugby player Gavin Henson bring a touch of the Dorian Grays to the floor.

One of the nice touches about the programme is the dizzying awfulness of the live band, who have murdered just about every tune going, from Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" to "The Girl From Ipanema". The judges resemble stuffed voodoo dolls covered in make-up, their unruly limbs manhandled into cheap tuxedos and propped up by Bruce Forsyth's chin. "Overwhelmingly awful," was Craig Revel-Horwood's verdict on one of Widdecombe's performances and this quote stands for the programme in its entirety.

Heroes/villains

It was OK to fall a bit in love with John Sergeant, who was Strictly's ageing underdog in 2008. But the 2010 contest has engendered a battle of wills on almost every liberal sofa in the land: is it ever OK to feel affection for Ann Widdecombe?

Here's one way of rationalising it. It's OK to feel sorry for her when her yellow pants are accidentally flashed to all and sundry by an exuberant leg lift. It's OK to worry about her falling over and being flung about like a sheep ready for shearing. It's OK to feel the whole venture is rather demeaning. It's not OK to start thinking of her as a national treasure. You wouldn't want to hug Stalin if he was wearing maribou trim, would you? Then buck up.

What happens next...

Gavin Henson is injured in a freak fall while trying to dance and look in the mirror at the same time, and no one can catch him because all that baby oil on his chest has rendered him as slippery as a bar of soap in the shower. Ann Widdecombe is booked as a cuddly mascot for the royal wedding.

Widdy takes to the waves as she thrills crowd with Titanic-themed routine

'There are three types of people left in this competition - the good the bad and the Widdy', declared a confident Anne Widdecombe at start of last night's Strictly Come Dancing.

And after being likened to a yellow canary, all eyes were on this year's underdog to see how on earth she could top last week's toe-curling performance.

The outfit may have been toned down and there definitely no feathers, but Widdy thrilled the Striclty audience as she and dance partner Anton Du Beke channeled Kate Winslet and Leonado Dicaprio in the film Titanic with their rendition of a raunchy rhumba.
