The gents let loose their inner Latino as attention turns to the Tango…
Today is a tough day for Andrew as the penny seems to finally drop that the competition is underway. The GMTV presenter struggles to keep up with dance partner Ola.
Andrew repeatedly shouts through his frustrations as he continues to get the steps of the Tango wrong. Even a demonstration display of the dance by Ola and husband James doesn’t help. Mentioning that his ‘memory bank is full’, the ex-tennis pro disconsolately explains that before this, he has been good at everything and dancing just isn’t natural to him.
Things are a little jollier in the Sergeant camp, as John and Kristina are still thrilled by their performance on the first show. Kristina says that she’s so proud of John and that he did an amazing job with his Waltz.
But now he has to channel his macho side to deliver the Tango – and as he spends most of the time giggling, Kristina has to remind him that the Argentine dance means serious business. She even steps on his foot to encourage him to find the aggression required for the job, but the affable John doesn’t mind at all.
Despite this gentlemanly behaviour, rehearsals are going well and Kristina is confident that her mild-mannered partner has the versatility to come out fighting on the night.
