Matt and Christine work hard on their Samba routine. The pair have missed a day's practise this week due to work commitments, so they concentrate on getting their steps right, and there's relatively little conversation between the normally full-of-fun pair. There are moments when Christine struggles, but she manages to learn almost the whole routine in one day and although the pair don't manage a full run-through, they finish the session in good spirits.

Christine also reflects on the previous Saturday's Foxtrot, but she's looking forward instead of dwelling on some of the comments made by the judges on the night. "It's all about this week for me. I want to have fun; I love the music and the dance!" She's also chuffed to have made it to the stage where the boys are involved too. "That will spice it up. There are a few cheeky characters with the boys and we get along so well. This is the proper start of Strictly!"
