Strictly Come Dancing week three: wild animals, big smiles and big dinners

Week three of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing is on the horizon. And after Sunday saw the first celebrity bid farewell to the competition, things are getting serious.

But are the celebrities? Time to take a sneaky peek at their Twitter feeds… 

Pixie Lott doesn’t look especially serious. In fact, she’s all smiles. Probably something to do with her strong spot on last week’s leaderboard.

Thank you for keeping us in another week ??? we're loving it too much. Quickstep time… @TrentWhiddon @bbcstrictly pic.twitter.com/vu3xyEP2GB

Saturday’s star Frankie Bridge, though, isn’t as confident. She might have topped the board in week one, but it seems her week three dance isn’t coming that easily… 

No going out for me and @keviclifton tonight. Still dancing.If you can call it that at this precise moment?! The man does not make it easy!

Scott Mills, who jumped up by 4 points on Saturday’s live show, is practising all the hours of the day to make sure he stays out of the dreaded dance off this week… 

Evening training with @joanneclifton we are putting the hours in!

Though, according to Strictly choreographer Kylie, Thom is already “looking fab.”

Fantastic rehearsal with @D8Iveta and @ThomEvans11 this afternoon. Day one of charleston and already looking fab #swivel #lovemyjob

Meanwhile, Steve Backshall and Ola Jordan are taking a break from the studio… 

Off to introduce @The_OlaJordan to some of my animal chums. Let's see how she deals with my weird wild world…

And Sunetra is hanging out with Craig. Who, uncharacteristically, is smiling… 

Hurray to @CraigRevHorwood for making me smile this weekend! x pic.twitter.com/zIVUr9oBCS

And Judy Murray and Anton have been playing tennis AGAIN. Swap those trainers for some heels, Judy – you’re already amazing at tennis!

Apres tennis chat with @TheAntonDuBeke. " Wev got quickstep this wk". Me: "marvellous. I can't even do the slowstep". pic.twitter.com/IevCWGDMOy
