She'd scoop gold for those legs! Victoria Pendleton flaunts her shapely pins as she performs a sexy samba on Strictly Come Dancing

By LOUISE SAUNDERS

Strutting her stuff: Victoria Pendleton showed off her shapely pins as she took to the dancefloor with professional partner Brendan Cole on Saturday She's already won two Olympic gold medals for her efforts on the cycling track. But Victoria Pendleton proved her legs could bag a gold medal of their very own as she took to the dancefloor on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing. The 32-year-old sportswoman showed off her incredible pins as she showcased her moves alongside her professional partner Brendan Cole. Wearing a miniscule sequinned frill-detail dress which showed off her athletic figure in all its glory, the Olympic champion proved her years of devotion and training have certainly paid off when it comes to her shapely legs.

Strictly stunning: The 32-year-old Olympic champion flaunted her athletic figure in a revealing frilled minidress as she performed a sexy samba Victoria showed off her sexy side as she performed a raunchy samba, but it would seem the show's judges felt the performance was somewhat lacklustre. Len Goodman said: 'It was occasionally a little bit unstable in places.' Bruno Tonioli noted: 'It was all very very promising,' before adding, 'Las Vegas with a hangover.' Darcey Bussell commented: 'You started so well but you lose your focus at the very end.' Despite the criticism, Victoria managed to pick up 23 points from the panel, not a great score but not her lowest. Although there's no doubt the brunette looked simply stunning in her revealing ensemble, she recently admitted she was struggling to look sexy.

'Promising': Victoria and Brendan scored 23 for their performance Victoria told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'When I watch the videos at training for Strictly I am always so surprised because I have never seen myself on TV except for cycling. I’ve discovered that I walk looking down with a frown. 'The way I walk around is in quite a manly way, looking at my feet. I didn’t know I did that. So now on Strictly I have to go completely against what comes naturally. 'It’s weird. The way I walk is functional, there is nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. So in a pair of heels it doesn’t look great without a bit of work.' source: dailymail

There's something short in the neighbourhood! Ola Jordan performs Ghostbusters routine in tiny playsuit on Strictly Come Dancing

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Too safe: Sid is criticised for playing it safe but partner Ola wows in tiny playsuit She's Strictly's golden girl, but she showed off her racy side on Saturday night's live show. The Polish dancer might have had an emotional week after her mum fell ill, but she didn't let it show as she wowed the crowd in a tiny playsuit. Dancing the Cha Cha Cha with partner Sid Owen, the 30-year-old beauty gave her take on this week's Halloween theme by embracing much loved 1980s film Ghostbusters.

I'm afraid of no ghost: Ola Jordan wears skimpy playsuit for her Ghostbusters routine with Sid Owen They did badly on the leaderboard last week, so Ola knew that she had to pull out all the stops for their fright night routine. Wearing her own version of the iconic Ghostbusters uniform, the dancer took to the floor with the EastEnders star. She's known for showing off her enviable legs, but on Saturday night Ola took it to a whole new level.

Short and sweet: Ola's short dress might have impressed the crowd, but the judges thought the routine wasn't up to scratch The short playsuit was cut at the very top of her thigh, while the top was zipped down low. Sid also wore his version of the famous film costume, pairing a tight tan top with tailored trousers, with a little sprinkling of sparkle. While Ola's outfit certainly made an impact, the routine failed to impress the judges, getting a poor mark of just 17, making them bottom of the leaderboard. Craig described the dance as a 'Halloween nightmare' while Len Goodman criticised the performance as being: 'Too safe, you need to go for it more and take risks. If you're going to go down, go down fighting,' he said.

Scooby Doo... look at you! Dani Harmer shows off her even slimmer figure on Strictly Come Dancing after 'lunchtime lipo'

By SARAH BULL and TONI JONES

Slimmer than ever: Dani Harmer showed off her increasingly slender figure in a tight orange and brown dress as she took on the role of Velma from Scooby Doo for the Halloween episode of Strictly Come Dancing She revealed earlier this week that she had succumbed to a session of 'lunchtime lipo' after being subjected to vile taunts from internet trolls over her weight. So when it came to choosing an outfit for her performance on this week's Strictly Come Dancing, 23-year-old actress Dani Harmer opted for an ensemble which properly displayed her increasingly slender figure. Dani, who was a size six even before having the non-invasive lipo procedure, wore a tight orange and brown minidress as she took on the role of Velma from Scooby Doo for the Halloween special of the BBC show.

Working it: Dani teamed her dress with a pair of orange knee-socks, a brown wig and black-rimmed glasses to make her look as much like Velma as possible The high-necked dress featured two cut-out panels on the top and stomach, and a cute brown ruffled skirt section, which Dani teamed with knee-socks, black-rimmed glasses and a brunette bob wig to make her look as much like her Scooby alter-ego as possible. The judges seemed impressed with the dance, although Bruno Tonioli couldn't get over Vincent's blonde wig, adding: 'I can't look at Vincent, he looks like Denise Welch from Loose Women.'

Extreme lengths: Tracy Beaker actress Dani revealed earlier this week that she underwent Lipoglaze treatment to get rid of her flabby tummy While the judges had some constructive criticism, Darcey Bussell loved the dance, telling Dani and Vincent: 'If you can dance that fast and achieve that many moves, then that's just fantastic.' But Craig Revel Horwood, as ever, had some criticism for the pair, saying: 'It was clean, had fantastic spins and had fats footwork but you need to extend through your lines.'

Pressured: Despite following a healthy diet and lifestyle and looking stunning, Dani felt she wanted to get rid of excess fat on her stomach after vile internet trolls abused her on Twitter for looking 'fat' Dani said earlier this week that she had been prompted to go to extreme lengths to look even slimmer after being subjected to abuse about her weight on Twitter. She said: 'It does upset me in a way. Everyone looks bigger than they are on the telly. 'But I’m a size 6, so it’s a bit funny when people turn around and say "You’re fat". I’m less than the size of an average woman.' source: dailymail

Goodbye Mrs Robinson! Jerry Hall is voted off Strictly Come Dancing after failing to impress with Graduate-inspired routine

By SARAH BULL and FEHINTOLA BETIKU

Goodbye Mrs Robinson: Jerry Hall has become the latest celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing

She had been hoping to impress with her ironic Graduate-inspired dance routine to the sounds of Mrs Robinson.
But, after leaving the Strictly Come Dancing judges underwhelmed with the performance, Jerry Hall was the latest casualty of the hit BBC show.
The former catwalk queen and partner Anton Du Beke were forced into a dance-off with retired cricketer Michael Vaughan and his partner Natalie Lowe, which Jerry then lost.

Dance off: Jerry and partner Anton Du Beke had to perform their dance routine again, alongside retired cricketer Michael Vaughan

Both couples performed their routines once more for the judges, with Jerry and Anton reprising their quickstep, while Vaughan took on the cha cha.
With both Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell opting to save the sportsman and Bruno Tonioli choosing Hall, the deciding vote was left with head judge Len Goodman who said it was a 'difficult decision'.
He said: 'To be honest, neither couple impressed me. The pressure got to both of them.

The moment of truth: The quartet wait with bated breath to find out which of them is being sent home

'Jerry's routine was full of mistakes. Michael's routine went in and out of time.
'This is a really difficult, difficult decision for me. This is so close, but I'm going to save Michael and Natalie.'
Reflecting on her time on the BBC dance show, Jerry said: 'I've had a lot of fun, it's been great. I've loved hanging out with Anton, and dancing with Anton. It's been lovely.'

Upset: When Hall found out she was in the bottom two she looked visibly upset and hugged Anton

On Saturday night's show, Hall said if the public kept her in she would be dancing to Paint It Black next week, the track made famous by her ex-love Mick Jagger's band the Rolling Stones.
With only good things to say about his partner, Anton said: 'I love her, she is gorgeous and fabulous. She's a star and has been wonderful to teach and she's just brilliant.'
