This week on It Takes Two, we have learnt...

- Karen Clifton’s first dance at her wedding to Kevin was the robot.

- Jeremy’s kids knew he was going to get terrible scores and feedback from the judges.

- Even Zoe isn’t pretending Bruno didn’t fall off his chair on purpose.

- Natalie would’ve happily spent the off-season waiting for the show to begin again in the ITT studio with Zoe.

- Ainsley is one of the most nicest men that Natalie’s ever met in her life. And she’s met Paul Daniels, so THINK ON THAT.

- During a training mishap, Natalie’s battery pack for her microphone came loose and whacked Ainsley in the goolies.

- Minutes before we were reminded of When Karen Won With Ramps: 17. 

- Ola thinks it’s boring when you start off well. Would she even know?

- Iwan will be playing the character of “Sexy Man” this weekend. Glad he’s put so much thought into his backstory.

- Iwan is so irrelevant to me already that I mistakenly called him “Steve” just now.

- Giovanni looks very handsome in a suit.
- Even Zoe thinks Giovanni is a budget Vincent Simone.

- Georgia got a tweet from Meghan Trainor after her performance.

- Judging by the names that popped into her head during that interview, Zoe’s a big fan of Prince and Kate Bush.

- Zoe doesn’t speak Italian terribly well. Or possibly someone on the production team has a very wicked sense of humour. Or possibly both.
- Antony was wearing black underpants under his split trousers

- Anthony is already calling Oti “Boss”.
- Dancing is very different from boxing.
- Natalie and Ainsley's salsa is going to be punning on the tomato salsa theme.  Can't.  Wait.
- 'Social media have loved Jeremy', whatever the show thinks that means.

- Zoe doesn’t know what twerking is.
- Karen Hardy thinks Anton will struggle to keep up with Katie.  BURN.

- Jay’s mum has been telling Aliona to “take care of my boy”. Hopefully she didn’t mean this in a Mafia sense.

- Aliona’s mum thinks Jay walks like a caveman.
- Aliona puts Jay(-by) in the corner

- Ola had a birthday this week.
- Kellie is mid-pack in the top five EastEnders' bar women's first dance scores.  Remarkably, Anita Dobson is second (behind Kara), with 28.

- Kellie and Kevin have almost-matching glasses.

- Matt Di Angelo’s advice for Kellie was “don’t forget your routine and sit on the stage like I did”.

- Zoe hasn’t quite got the hang of saying Gleb’s name yet.
- Sorry to all the Gleb lovers, but his one true love is dancing (*barf*)

- Gleb has learned 10 dances from around the world. Girl, Iveta was CHAMPION at ten dances.

- Ian Waite’s trousers are terrifyingly tight.
- Ian got engaged in the same week that one of us did.  Start the rumour mill now!
- Salsa is an 'exposing' dance for the girls.  Wardrobe have a lot to answer for.

- Jamelia did actually giggle a lot throughout her waltz.

- Tristan thinks it’s better to have giggles than tears.

- Daniel's blank face in his Charleston rehearsals is wonderful.

- Peter says “sorry” a lot.

- You can only dance yourself when you’re secure that your partner knows what they’re doing.

- Contrary to expectations, Iwan has at least done some training this week.

- Anthony has created a gentleman character called Reginald for his waltz.

- Oti’s first dance trainer was her mum.

- Most of Anita’s opening show was a blur to her, but she remembers the actual dance very clearly.

- Gleb thinks the headmaster is a marvellous man, and this is the best Strictly he’s ever been on.

- Katie’s two daughters came to her wardrobe fitting during the summer and her jive dress was their favourite.

- Daniel didn’t realise how little he spoke on Friday until he watched the show back.

- Pasha is both a gentleman and a gentle man.

- Carol has an umbrella prop for her foxtrot, and go hang with the idea of it being bad luck.

- Carol doesn’t like letting go of Pasha in training. Well, who would?

- Robin’s job so far appears to be giving us the Strictly A to Z. A is for Anton, B is for Brucie and blisters, C is for “Claudia and Tess” (this is falling over already) and Craig, D is for Darcey and E is for exhaustion. At least that’s what my dealer tells me.

- Paolo Nutini’s ‘Pencil Full Of Lead’ will be used for a charleston for the third time this week - Ali and Brian used it in series 7, Richard and Erin used it in series 10 and now Anita and Gleb are using it.

- Having a live audience in the ITT studio is a bit claustrophobic.

- Aled Jones got his highest mark for the jive even though he forgot his steps and made half of it up.

- Aled also thinks Ainsley has - wait for it - natural rhythm.

- Anton and Katie together look like “a bank manager and his wife dancing”.

- The pros were taught all of their group dances way back in August, and then they get a refresher each week on Monday morning.

- Brendan is the craziest of all the pros, according to Joanne. Kristina and Aliona are always late, and Aliona always has a fried egg for breakfast.

- The stress of the show has driven Helen to drinking in the mornings.

- Aljaž is still as camp as a row of tents.

- Helen did not know that the dance-off existed until recently.

- Giovanni was inspired to take up dance after watching Come Dancing when he was 8.

- Giovanni’s mum is apparently Bella Lasagne from Fireman Sam.

- Kirsty’s waltz went really well in rehearsals, HONEST.

- Believe it or not, Len has given more 10s to musicians than he has to SPORTSMEN.
- If Jenni Falconer was on the show she'd want Aljaž for her partner, but she thinks she'd probably spend all her time giggling.
- Mark Benton thinks Iwan might go home, Jenni Falconer thinks Jeremy, and Aled Jones thinks Anthony.
