| Good to see Russell on last night's programme. Maybe he will be invited back to sing - my guess it would be for the final programme. |

Hi there Jillwithajay
I must agree with you that it was great to have seen Russell on the ITV show last night. It think it was a nice surprise! I think he was a good mentor to Danny. I think it helped Danny to stay in the Competition! Hopefully he might get to sing on the last show who knows!
I can`t wait to see him in concert soon!!
Thats all from me for now

Hi Catthedog. Hope it wasn't his favourite jumper because I thought it ought to go in the next charity bag. 
I'm just counting sleeps now until Jersey. It's been a while since my last Russell "fix". |

At the moment, my money is on one of the girls to win. Marcella has my vote up to now but Bernie and Kym are doing very well too.
Rolando has a wonderful voice but he just doesn't do it for me. Can't help it but he reminds me of Mr Bean - with hair. |
