Felicity The Stand Out Top Score Value
It’s the rumba or the quickstep for 12 Strictly contestants tomorrow night, Tina not taking part and given a bye for the week due to chicken pox.
It looks like Scott and Matt will be asked to do extremely demanding routines in their quicksteps, opening up the possibility for mistakes.
Kara is also doing a quickstep which will no doubt be decent, and Pam has looked good in training again performing the rumba. But in terms of stand out value for highest score this week, it has to be Felicity Kendal at 33-1 with Boylesports.
Felicity has looked a lot happier in her rumba training, and Vincent has been talking in glowing terms about their routine. It’s a dance that suits an actress, as Cherie Lunghi showed two years ago when she topped the leaderboard doing the rumba with James.
It’s a shame an each-way option isn’t offered, but at 33s Felicity still demands backing as she could really shine and might be set for a vote of confidence from the judges who haven’t exactly been generous in their praise towards her in the first two weeks.
