THE Clifton family are preparing flamboyant dance moves for a carnival themed routine to join their son on the BBC show.
Opening tonight's Strictly Come Dancing show will be parents Keith and Judy Clifton at The Tower Ballroom, Blackpool.
Also performing will be dance champion Joanne, Kevin's sister, Karen, Kevin's fiancee who recently got voted out of the show and 21 couples from Cliftons Dance Academy.
Keith said: "I am absolutely delighted to be dancing on the show and the programme will be giving a big push to Grimsby.
"Joanne has come all the way from Italy to perform and a mini bus has transported all the social couples from our dance school.
"Judy won the British quick step competition at the Tower too. The Tower is the spiritual home for dancing."
Here is Keith's latest column:
The first time a celebrity hits the bottom two you can see and feel the sheer disappointment that it brings, visions of holding that glitter ball aloft disintegrating before their eyes. Dave and Karen knew that winning was a distant dream but participating for such a long time, making people smile, improving every week and just enjoying the Strictly experience is unforgettable. Sadly, losing a dance-off brings all this to an end.
As Dave said: "I think I'll spend Monday watching telly."
Karen was genuinely upset because they had a really honest and fun relationship and a lasting friendship. Well done to Karen for a great effort with a very special human being.
The run-up to the final will now gather momentum and importance with everyone looking over their shoulder, like the last few laps of an Olympic track event.
Anything less than an eight now will start alarm bells ringing.
Any negative comments from the judges will touch nerves and start to sway public opinion.
Where are the votes going to go from those who supported celebrities who have left the show?
The voting system now becomes more prominent.
The judge's marks are translated into positions on the leader board, but tied couples get equal marks and the next couple get the next mark, they don't drop down a place. For instance, if the top couple gets 10, the next two couples are tied and get 9 points each. The fourth couple get 8 points not 7. So the spread of marks is closer.
However, the public votes are unlikely to produce a tie, so the marks are probably attributed 10, 9, 8, 7 etc this making the spread wider.
The upshot of the mathematics is that you may have 8 points from the judges but only 1 point from the public, thus being beaten by a 6th position from the judges and a 4 from the public.
It means the public vote is so important now.
We hope that some of Karen and Dave's votes will now come to Kevin and Susanna who, although constantly high on the leaderboard, will still feel the pinch if they don't perform well for all concerned, as Abbey has already discovered.
Their Waltz, I have to say as a dance teacher, was beautiful.
It was again technically sound and perfectly choreographed.
I suspect there were a few dewey eyes around the country.
Susanna looked delicious in her gown and the expression throughout the dance was top-class.
This weekend's programmes are going to be memorable.
Watch out for some familiar faces in both shows.
The Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, is the scene of some of Kevin's finer moments in Juvenile and Junior competitions.
It is the ancestral home of ballroom dancing and, believe me, it's going to be some party.
Whatever you do don't miss it and please keep voting, they need you!
