This week's hot potato:
I'm in the mood for dancing

"Hello people! Right now I'm sat in our flat with 50 bits of tin foil on my head. If you could see me now! Well, if you could see me now you'd technically be trespassing, and I'd call the police.

Last week me and the other V boys went and saw Dirty Dancing at the Electric cinema in Notting Hill. It was a right laugh, partly because Kev got into an argument with one of Kate Thornton's friends, but mostly because of the free bar.

Anyway, dancing. I like dancing. Our most fun TVs have been when we've surrounded ourselves with millions of dancers, although that's probably just because its nicer to grind up against a pretty girl than it is to be mingling with a sweaty Antony Out Of V. One of the best dancers in Pop is Matt from Busted. He's a great spinner. Tom from McFly sometimes spins too. But not as well as Matt.

I saw on the Popjustice messageboard recently a thread about the worst dancers in pop. Yes, V were on it - ha bloody ha. I told our choreographer Kate and she started crying - so next time you wanna be mean about V spare a thought for the hormonal women we spend our time with. But one person I would agree is a bad dancer, and last week's Dirty Dancing screening reminded me of this, is Patrick Swayze. Why is it that in most dance movies the dancing isn't really ever that great? Like Save The Last Dance - why cast a girl as the lead when she's got about as much rhythm as Gareth Gates on a bouncy castle?

As it happens the best dancing movie is an 80s cheese fest called Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. It's got a pre-SATC Sarah Jessica Parker in it and she has the best monobrow ever seen on film. Plus she does backflips in in and tha'ts always good. Jon from S Club 7 was rather good at backflips, wasn't he? And no, I do NOT look like him. Other good dancers include S Club 8, who have a new TV show coming out soon called I Dream. I am most looking forward to watching, mainly to see if Frankie and Aaron get it on. (Bands are so much better when the've got a member called Aaron, don't you think? Like Worlds Apart - they where fantastic.)

Props are good in dancing too. Britney looks lovely holding a snake, I'm sure you'll agree. At the other end of the scale, one time I went to see O-Town at the Dominion Theatre and a guy called Warren Stacey, from the first series of Popstars, was supporting. (Popstars was a programme where they put together a band called Hear'say - you probably don't remember.) Anyway, Warren did one song where, to prove how much of an amazing dancer he was, he performed the entire thing wearing a motorcycle helmet backwards. It was rubbish.

So in conclusion I would say this: if you're planning on going out tonight and having a dance, take a snake with you, and not a helmet.

Right, it's time for my foils to be taken out. Bye! x"
