She's my favourite of the new dancers. Her and Karen Clifton easily have the best facial expressions. They're so cute and happy. You just wanna hug them
Dianne is a creative genius. Watching her this year with Chris McCausland and I am amazed by her talent. I love how she also did some ‘dad dancing’ moves along with Richard in this dance 😂
There's a lot of simple joy in this dance- and Dianne looks genuinely happy to be dancing with him. Nothing too showy (apart from the cloud...)- just a happy dance with enough trad moves in it to make it obvious it's a cha cha.
I absolutely loved this - it was entertaining and really enjoyable and I love this song too. Sure, not technically the best but I loved it and their partnership too!
Kinda rooting for him because I'm a fellow Christian, John and Ann and Ed have returned that was hilarious, I love his and Craig's banter, he's getting the comedy votes, I mean the positives are that the side-by-sides aren't bad, 5
I know how much time, effort and vindaloo Richard and Dianne put into this so it's great to see. As a previous No.1 pop star Richard has still got more of it than was ever strictly necessary just to play keyboards. Just imagine who easy it would have been to channel Boss Hogg dressed that way and Richard is great!
@j4Rose - I have only just come back to watching Strictly now that Len Goodman has gone. His last few years were just like watching a nasty old dog that should have gone home before sundown. Why they still have his angry face and nasty demenour on the U.S Dancing With The Stars is anyone's guess.
My friend's 90 year old boyfriend (!) used to dance professionally at the same venues as Len Goodman, and said he wasn't as nice as he appeared on the television. Interesting.
Was so excited to see this and wasnt disappointed! It is obvious that it needs a lot of improvement but was super entertaining! The cuban breaks werent all that bad! He gave it 100% effort and was enjoyable to watch. Seeing all the craigs on here. I see yall
Dianne is good with Richard but I like here dancing with joe because she has a really good connection with him💃💃💃💃💃👌👌👌👌👌👌🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👫👫👫👫👫👫!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think he literally lost a LOT of weight in this two weeks of training! Wow! Those suit is now too big for him. He has musicality, but he is lacking in techniques (except the attempt at the NY). 5.
Satans child so sad to hear you consider your parents Satanic. I would hope for the very best for any of my children. Especially if the kids were taken away and I had no idea or choice in the matter during an emergency caesarean. I truly hope you are happy and healthy and are able to cope with knowing your background. I send you my love and prayers and best wishes and a very big hug. Fertility Clinics are always looking for male donors for their patients. Unfortunately, I was unaware of how the statistics of conception with a partner whose samples showed low count and motility affects the success rate of conception. I was also unaware of clinics using samples without the permission of the patient. Lots of love to you babe xx 😘 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙇🏻♀️ Michelle Visage
Ed Balls 2.0 Fun and entertaining but after last year where we all took to Ed... somehow I don't think they'll go anywhere near as far. Enjoy it while it lasts Richard. Also talking back to the judges? THIS early! Brave man...
Fair enough, it wasn't technically great but it was much better than the bland posing and rigidity of Davood and Gemma's cha cha's. Dianne gave him lots of content and he gave it a good go! Gooooo revoooo!
Taylor how about you stop calling me sweetie yeah? it’s a tad strange. and maybe they aren’t, but they’re even more unecessary when you copy and paste the same thing over and over.
Normally when a male celebrity is dancing I find my eyes ineluctably drawn towards their female partner, especially where the dance involves a lot of gyrating. Not so today with the reverend, who has discovered a who new genre of dance where being able to dance is a side issue. In fact I would go further than that and say it is a positive disadvantage. What he has achieved goes beyond dad dancing and I can only think his is being strongly supported by his "boss". It is inevitable that during the series there will be ecclesiastical puns aplenty so I will be the first to say this evangelist has converted me and that I will be spreading the word. However, I can't promise I will not be keeping my eyes off gyrating hips when the other male contestants are on. Mea culpa.
It was very,very entertaining. He ha such a positive personality. However, technically speaking, it was bad. He was very stumpy, his arms were bizarre, he wasn't sharp and crisp at all and his spins were unstable. As a performance it was wonderful, almost divine but as a Cha Cha Cha it was more hell then heaven... sadly, a 4 from me.
The novelty act of the year, in my opinion they're boring now but the audience seems to love it. Syncopated Cuban Breaks were decent but everything else wasn't there. 4.
Sorry but I found this bad and not funny. Almost like he believes he will be the new Ed Balls and reach week 10. Actually can see him getting shock booted out 2nd or 3rd
Oh dear, another person with a sense of humour failure. If you know anything at all about Rev. Richard Coles, you'd know that he is a humble man who doesn't expect anything, and is just enjoying the opportunity to dance. I hope he stays for as long as possible, JUST to annoy YOU.
Vermillion 303 Sorry don't get it. Find it pathetic he will most likely reach week 10 when other hard working celebs get booted out. Does not bother me one bit how long he stays. Just know he ain't winning this show and the longer he stays the more mockery it makes of the show and himself.
You hit the nail on the head: you don't get it. Dance is more than technique; it's about communicating joy. He didn't reach week 10, so nobody got booted out that didn't deserve it. No-one expected him to win the show. The show is not being made a mockery of, just because some contestant have different starting points. And he's not making a mockery of himself, because he never claimed to be able to dance. And just in case you think clergy shouldn't dance, I would remind you that they are entitled to enjoy themselves. Watching Strictly seems to be a terrible ordeal for you, so I suggest you stop watching it and go and find something that suits your temperament better, like sitting on spikes.
Vermillion 303 I am surprised you are still continuing this conversation. Grow up and move on. I did not like him and thankfully the GBP felt the same. How would you feel seeing our Archbishop of Canterbury dancing a Cha Cha. It does not work and never will work. Rev. Coles was also on Question Time last Thursday. He cares more about fame than being a man of God. Please don't respond after this, it's obvious we won't agree.

God gave us ‘strictly’ to lift depression. 2 smiling hours watching. Love it.
Rosemary Ditchburn agree

watching this in 2024! love Dianne so much!
Being that I am a fan of The Communards, I absolutely thought that Richard Coles dance routine was astounding 🎉❤
Technically not the best but he was delightful to watch. He puts a smile on your face.
That takes great guts to come out and perform. Great first dance looking forward to seeing him dance on Saturday
come on Richard and Dianne!
I absolutely loved this - it was entertaining and really enjoyable and I love this song too. Sure, not technically the best but I loved it and their partnership too!
This is the best couple ever on strictly in my opinion!!😃😃😃
Anyone else watching this in 2019 😂
I love Dianne when she dances it’s so natural looking and she’s such a cute person 😍
Watching this in 2024, makes me realise how well Dianne emphasise the qualities of her celebrity.The routines are entertaining and aesthetic.
Funny and endearing in it's own way.
Kinda rooting for him because I'm a fellow Christian, John and Ann and Ed have returned that was hilarious, I love his and Craig's banter, he's getting the comedy votes, I mean the positives are that the side-by-sides aren't bad, 5
Thanks rev. You made me smile. Unlike the others
Aw Dianne is a queen 😂❤️
I absolutely love him😂I mean, ok, yes, he's definitely not the strongest technically, but who cares when u have a cloud, harp and a Revo/Reddo!
I know how much time, effort and vindaloo Richard and Dianne put into this so it's great to see. As a previous No.1 pop star Richard has still got more of it than was ever strictly necessary just to play keyboards.

Robert Tolhurst, Boss Hogg, 😂😂😂.
I prefer the funny ones to the good dancers cos they have good personalities and are funny make me smile
i like their partnership and dianne is gorgeous
Lol at Shirley Ballas in the background 0:40 getting right into it as well. Love her. #Lenwho

Seems weird with him instead of Joe
Watch it a few more times and you'll love it
I'm an intense Joanne fan
But
This.
His facial expressions are the best 😂
Was so excited to see this and wasnt disappointed! It is obvious that it needs a lot of improvement but was super entertaining! The cuban breaks werent all that bad! He gave it 100% effort and was enjoyable to watch. Seeing all the craigs on here. I see yall
Objectively, it was terrible, but there were having so much fun that it was hard to care. 4.0/10.0
what a great guy
There must be an angel trying to spray chemicals on me because of Diane's choreography!
Dianne is good with Richard but I like here dancing with joe because she has a really good connection with him💃💃💃💃💃👌👌👌👌👌👌🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👫👫👫👫👫👫!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Richard cha cha cha dance was funny 🤣
WOW and I really mean WOW boogie till you drop
I think he literally lost a LOT of weight in this two weeks of training! Wow! Those suit is now too big for him. He has musicality, but he is lacking in techniques (except the attempt at the NY). 5.
Scd Observer -- he should have musicality given his musical history.
Scd Observer Shirley said "I'm going to be very strict" and she gave him a 6
Bless Edwin 🙏🏻 sending healing prayers 🙏🏻
GoldXrose elderly care for the parents 🙏🏻
So much fun. 5
Yes I was searching for dianne and joe sugg then found out she has done strictly before
Satans child so sad to hear you consider your parents Satanic. I would hope for the very best for any of my children.

If he wasn't a man of the cloth then I would say he should be the new Rory on Mrs Browns Boys 😂
Best vicar ever :D
Ed Balls 2.0
Fun and entertaining but after last year where we all took to Ed... somehow I don't think they'll go anywhere near as far. Enjoy it while it lasts Richard.
Also talking back to the judges? THIS early! Brave man...
Dianne reminds me so much of Sharna Burgess :)
The Communards brought me.
So so cute
Fair enough, it wasn't technically great but it was much better than the bland posing and rigidity of Davood and Gemma's cha cha's. Dianne gave him lots of content and he gave it a good go! Gooooo revoooo!
Joe is better with her
Ollie sure
Taylor I said that I agreed with him
Taylor what is your problem
Ollie yep
All she said was “sure.” Chill, dude.
Eurythmics. Not Lennox solo. He's hilarious.
anybody know what week they went out ?
I think it was week 3 so second couple to go.
Can’t imagine her dancing with anyone else except joe 😂💕✨
O.M.G!!😞
I have a serious feeling that these two are going to be the joke of the season just looking at this whole setup... not really fair
Hi
Sending all my love Sarah wogan xx 😘 love you xx 🙌🏻🙏🏻💆🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
0:40
2!!
Joe and Diane are so much better
Taylor you’ve commented this back to everyone who said joe is better, don’t you have anything better to do i-
Taylor ah so you get on with your day while also leaving unecessary comments that no one actually wants to hear. makes sense hunni :)
Taylor how about you stop calling me sweetie yeah? it’s a tad strange. and maybe they aren’t, but they’re even more unecessary when you copy and paste the same thing over and over.
Taylor ummm... thats weird... don’t say that...

Not bad for someone of his skill level. But I'm still dreading the Rumba.
#teamjoanne
Who else thinks it seems really weird about Josephhhhh 😂💗
Joe is better👏
Superb performance..much better than talentless Gemma

This looks weird without joe
It was very,very entertaining. He ha such a positive personality. However, technically speaking, it was bad. He was very stumpy, his arms were bizarre, he wasn't sharp and crisp at all and his spins were unstable. As a performance it was wonderful, almost divine but as a Cha Cha Cha it was more hell then heaven... sadly, a 4 from me.
Daniel Shumkin so true and yet the Head Judge gives him a 6...
The novelty act of the year, in my opinion they're boring now but the audience seems to love it. Syncopated Cuban Breaks were decent but everything else wasn't there. 4.
Moronic clapping along with the music by the audience always spoils this kind of show.
joe and dev are better
3 sorry performance was all wrong
He was gay in the 80s, how is he this terrible?
Hid e ous

Thomas McNeilly the celebs aren't supposed to be good dancers, it's about having fun
0:37 Well I didn't know you could incorporate Jackie Gleeson dancing into a cha cha.
