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

- Susannah isn't sure what dance she would've been good at. Maybe the charleston.
- Anton describes Alan Dedicoat's voice as "like anaesthetic for the legs".
- Susannah was not a diva backstage.
- Anton is not quitting and has no intention of going anywhere.
- Dr Ranj had his own personal shirt-ripper-offer behind the bar.
- George Ezra really does talk like he sings.
- Zoe thinks Mollie was a finalist.
- Natalie Lowe thinks the pros are pretty much trying to kill the celebs with the amount of content, so it'll be a case of survival of the fittest.
- Lee dances with the weight on the outside of his feet, which is bad.
- He needs to emulate a rolling pin with his feet instead, apparently.
- Natalie likes to treat a paso more like a rumba.
- Cha cha cha is all about the base (no treble).
- Natalie thinks Joe will be in the final.
- They seem to think Graziano looks like Poldark??
- Doing this show has taught Graziano to love social media.
- Vick and Graziano didn't like their first experience of waiting for results.  Went better than Lee and Susannah's experiences, though, didn't it?
- Vick is getting an ab.
- Vick and Graziano are doing a salsa to 'Take A Chance On Me', what the fuck.
- The split in Charles's quickstep was his idea.
- Charles is a big Prince fan.
- Charles and Karen are dancing an American Smooth to 'Up Where We Belong'.
- Natalie thinks Vick is a bit 'hangy ony'.  Bit harsh when we've only had one vote so far.
- Faye's fleckerl was one of the best Natalie has ever seen from a female celebrity.
- Natalie's new catchphrase is 'invite the man, dance through the man'.  Sounds like a plot for a horror film.
- Natalie's grateful to Seann now that she and Michael Vaughan no longer hold the record for the lowest jive score in Strictly history all by themselves.
- 'Up and up and up and up' is the key to a good jive.
- Lee blames his lack of public vote on the voters all being Westlife fans.
- Nadyia has clearly never heard of a Westlife.
- Lee likes to watch the Back to the Future films back to back.
- Gorka can rock a white turtleneck.
- Gorka might still be a bit pissy about Saturday.  A teensy bit.
- Katie's daughter has started referring to her as "Katie" now that she's seen her on the show.
- Katie has only just seen La La Land.
- Katie is ticklish.
- Katie thinks she might not still be here if she'd been in the dance-off.  Against Susannah.
- Natalie has decided - it was Charles who went wrong in the quickstep, and that threw Karen off.
- The trick for men in ballroom is to use your hand as a rudder to steer the woman.
- If you think you're doing enough in Charleston, you're not.
- Stacey fucking hated the cha cha cha so, so much.
- Kevin doesn't know if the judges are scoring Stacey in comparison to Ashley and Faye or just in comparison to her previous form.
- Danny did indeed ride a unicycle to training.
- Janette and Dr Ranj are working on their RuPaul hair flicks.
- Dr Ranj is disappointed that his gunz are "like two tangerines in a sock". Look on the bright side, at
- Janette has wanted to dance to Pitbull for ages.
- Janette likes to show of the things Dr Ranj is good at, i.e. shimmying, what a fag hag.
- Dr Ranj is a total Aladdin fanboy.
- Joe's long neck reminds Ian of a young Ian.
- Ian loves The Matrix so much that he once bought and wore a long pleather jacket.
- Armography is in the dictionary.  Well, according to someone who told Ian it was anyway.
- Danny's ITT outfits are somehow getting more and more showbiz each week. 
- Danny is Zoe's mum and dad's favourite.
- Ian gave Danny some paso guidance in the green room.
- Danny will be opening the paso completely on his own.
- The show is trying desperately to pretend there's a risk of upsetting the audience by Danny doing The Greatest Showman: 'because people know that character so well.'
- Danny's favourite meal is spag bol with peas with the meat, spaghetti and peas all separate.  It looks grim.
- Aljaž has no poker face and Kate can see when he thinks she's going to fluff something.
- Aljaž thinks Kate has charisma and talent. No word yet on whether she has uniqueness or nerve.
- Kate is going to be JESSICA RABBIT this weekend.
- Ashley doesn't think people say "doozy" in this country.
- Zoe wants to be Ashley's stand-in mum.
- Ashley was pushing Pasha around in a trolley on Saturday for larks.
- Ashley and Pasha are going to do The Lift from Dirty Dancing.
- Ashley yawns a lot in training.
- Vicky Gill loves it when people get eliminated because it's less work for her team. Which is fair enough really.
- Graeme is going to be Spider-Man on Saturday.
- AJ just wants to throw Lauren around.  Even though he has form for dropping her.
- Lauren's heart rate is never below 190 these days.
- Dame Kelly Holmes is a Lauren fan.
- Lauren has never watched Fame but she's going to before Saturday.
- They're trying to work a 'poor Lee' narrative, but it's Lee Ryan so not sure that's going to fly.
- Apparently there are no rules about how much of an American smooth needs to be in hold any more.
- Graeme didn't give Ian the feeling, but Charles gives him the feeling.
- Faye has a kinky hand.
- Seann didn't want to watch his jive back. For obvious reasons.
- Seann thinks dancing is like opening a fridge and having a load of cherry tomatoes flinging themselves at him.
- Katya's mum didn't notice it was off-time, she loved it.
- Katya has trained more hours with Seann than she did with Ed or Joe.
- Seann's problems include walking and breathing.
- Oti doesn't mind the judges picking her up on her choreography.
- Graeme was worried when Oti said there would be no more messing around after last week, because he wasn't aware they had been messing around.
- Oti is desperate to get a 7.
- Graeme will be wearing a lot of lycra and some sticky shoes for his Spider-Man charleston.
- This week's Friday panel consisted of Tom Allen, Ria Hebden (who?) and Colin Jackson.
- They can't afford the licensing for '(I've Had) The Time of My Life' to be used on a spin-off show.
- Charles can't walk and count.
- In case you were worried about her, be reassured that KAREN STILL LOVE FOOD.
- Janette is starting to develop a weird British accent?
- Faye thinks Giovanni makes a better Bad Sandy than she does.
- Craig has given one point out a total of 10 times now.
- Craig's done a movie that's coming out in November.
- Dianne is trying to make Joe sleep in the position of his dancing frame.
- Joe is worried that he isn't smiling enough in training.
- Joe would like to do "the snail" in one of his dances, Dianne is less keen.
- The couples really seem to be co-ordinating their training outfits this year? Vick and Graziano have done it, as have Ashley and Pasha.
- Gethin's reporting is holding up serious prop making.
- Kevin broke a prop in training.
- Danny's paso will involve a unicorncycle.
- Tom thinks Graeme might be going, Ria thinks Seann, Colin thinks Dr Ranj (unless he meant someone else by "Doc"?).
- AJ is doing the next series of Celebrity Hunted (OK we learnt that from a Channel 4 ad break but still...)
