Russell Grant proud of 'Strictly Come Dancing' cha cha cha

Russell Grant has revealed that he is proud of his Strictly Come Dancing performance last weekend.



The 60-year-old astrologer, who danced the cha cha cha with partner Flavia Cacace, shrugged off his modest 21 point score from the judges.

Writing on his blog, he said: "I think it all went pretty well, but it was such a whirl and a swirl I can hardly remember what happened.

"All I know is that Flavia is thrilled and when we get a standing ovation at the end (the first ever for a first night) I feel myself filling up with tears of emotion and relief.

"The judges give us 21 points, but does it matter? Not when it's compared to the pleasure and satisfaction I have from getting through my first Strictly session successfully and also from the fabulous feedback flooding in from all quarters."

Meanwhile, Grant claimed that Robbie Savage and Ola Jordan were treated harshly after they were given just 19 for their respective cha cha cha.

The star added: "Am I right in thinking the judges were a tad hard on Robbie and Ola's cha-cha? I thought they used the floor well, and they entertained us with an original and exciting performance. They could well be the ones to watch in times to come."
