Rufus Hound has won tonight’s Let’s Dance For Sport Relief final.

The comedian found himself in the show’s final two alongside comedienne Katy Brand. However slashed trousers won out over skintight leotard and Rufus took the title.

Robert Webb presented Hound with his trophy before he returned to the stage for a final performance. His male dancers looked a little bemused as he tried to plant some smackers on their lips, but we think it added to his risque routine!

“This defines mystery,” Hound joked, adding: “It’s not easy to get a fat lad to move like this so they’ve had a heck of a job.”

We can see why Cheryl Cole herself loved Rufus Hound’s parody of her ‘Fight For This Love’ military themed routine. In fact she might have been a little bit jealous, because that extra bit of meat on his bones really filled out those slashed trousers nicely!

Tonight’s winner (is there really any question?) was the last act on stage. We think would have been far more entertaining if they’d let Rufus go head to head with Robert Webb from last year in a Nevins versus Run DMC style dance-off.

Judges Comments:

Robert Webb: You are more compelling and watchable than Cheryl Cole. That’s a costume that clearly hurts, the British public respect that!

John Culshaw: I’m a great fan of yours, brilliant attitude that went over in the dance. Very deeply moving, it’s three yeses.

Jack Dee: Rufus Hound you are a hound, that was world class. You have given us our mojo back, when you take that leotard off could you incinerate it please!

The Grumpy Old Women really rocked Lady Gaga’s Poker Face on tonight’s Let’s Dance For Sport Relief and the half naked backing dancers certainly didn’t hurt the routine.

Taking part was Lesley Joseph, Susie Blake, Linda Robson and Jenny Eclair and the post-menopausal bunch were so well disguised, that we couldn’t even identify the one in the green outfit who was showing way too much crotch! Perversely, we found ourselves trying to work out which granny was the hottest. We have decided on the one in blue.

Jack Dee made us laugh when he claimed that the old dolls “made hip replacements sexy again”.

Despite worries that she wouldn’t be well enough to do so, Kate Garraway braved her spinal injury and took to the Let’s Dance stage tonight.

She and her GMTV co-star Richard Arnold gave us a Grease inspired hand jive and while neither one of them are blessed with rhythm or grace, they are good at taking the p**s out of themselves.

It was strange to see Richard looking so hairy, thought the pink shirt does bring back an element of camp and I grudgingly admit that Kate did look pretty stunning in her white dress. I still can’t stand the smarmy cow but I didn’t detest her as much as usual tonight.

We never liked Katy Brand’s ITV2 sketch show and didn’t find her very funny at all. However she really won us over during her time on BBC’s Let’s Dance For Sport Relief.

Her booty shaking, booby bouncing routine to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ mightily impressed our live blogger Gerard. He said:

There was a moment when I saw Katy in costume and felt a vague thrill in my loins. Her performance of Single Ladies is priceless, it’s funny, but the big girl can actually move. And those thighs… *ahem* she might be the only one to present a serious challenge to Rufus Hound.

Judge Comments:

John Culshaw: I have never seen attitude like it. That was not just a performance, that was a force of nature

Jack Dee: Lay Z is out there wondering if he is living with the real Beyonce or not. You have got yourself a new stalker girl!

Here we go with another night of Let’s Dance for Sport Relief, a show which claims to give us our best comedians and sport personalities in ‘hilarious’ dance routines. However, if last night’s Eurovision debacle is anything to go by, the Beeb’s ability to run a decent light entertainment programme is looking decidedly shaky right now.

Anyway, tonight’s the final. Steve Jones and Claudia Winkleman are on stage, and what a sexy pair of presenters they make. We get confirmation that Cheryl Fergison won’t be performing due to that pulled hamstring. As a consolation prize, we get a hastily thrown together group effort from the finalists, which is an utter catastrophe.

Winkleman and Jones introduce the irrelevant judging panel for the evening – Robert Webb, John Culshaw, and comedian Jack Dee.

Kate and Richard

GMTV’s Kate Garraway and Richard Arnold reprise their hand jive routine from Grease. I only really like this routine because I kind of fancy Kate in that white dress. Lisa can’t stand her. It’s a fun routine, and Richard looks very manly with those sideburns.

Katy Brand

I’m still reeling. There was a moment when I saw Katy in costume and felt a vague thrill in my loins. Thankfully, Katy does a little sketch, reminding us that she’s not really very funny. Her performance of Single Ladies is priceless though, it’s funny, but the big girl can actually move. And those thighs… *ahem* she might be the only one to present a serious challenge to Rufus Hound.

Grumpy Old Women

I must’ve missed this first time round. Damned shame. Dancing to Gaga’s Poker Face, it’s like looking at four reaminated corpses dressed head to toe in PVC. Not that I have anything against PVC, I’m wearing some right now. Perversely, I find myself trying to work out which granny is the tastiest, and it’s probably the one in blue.

It might be worth mentioning at this point that I can’t work out for the life of me whether John Culshaw is doing accents tonight or speaking in his normal voice. Has anyone ever heard Culshaw speak normally? Jack Dee gets in a memorable line when he claims that they “made hip replacements sexy again”.

Debra Stevenson

Oh lords, they run that VT where Debra visits be-curtained 90’s throwback TV doctor Christian and he pulls faces while she mugs about in different wigs. Debs reprises her Smooth Criminal routine, which is good, but in a year where we’ve seen 400% too much Michael Jackson, it’s been done before and done better.

Cheryl Fergison

What? Yep, because Cheryl’s injured, they’re simply going to play the video of her performance from last week. Genius, eh? They could’ve done this with all the other acts this week. She’s actually pretty fly for a big girl. Cheryl comes out at the end for the judging. Dee quips “you’re a real trooper. Now you walk like one.”

Rufus Hound

Tonight’s winner (is there really any question?) Rufus Hound is the last act. It would have been far better if they’re let Rufus go head to head with Robert Webb from last year in a Nevins versus Run DMC style dance-off. An amazing routine, this guy is the clear winner this evening. Like Cheryl Cole with facial hair. A true professional. When Webb claims he’s more compelling and watchable than Cheryl Cole, Claudia Winkleman doubles up with laughter.

Beginning half an hour of filler until the results, we get N-Dubz Playing With Fire and Tulisa sporting deep brown locks tonight. I love the way she sings “Uh-oh” in all their songs. It’s a real skill that needs to be recognized.

Eastenders star Cheryl Fergison has been unable to perform on tonight’s Let’s Dance For Sport Relief final.

The actress, who won a place in the show after performing a hilarious parody of Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’, pulled a hamstring during rehearsals earlier this week. She revealed that the pain was so bad, backup dancers had to carry her off the dancefloor. However BBC bosses are so clever that they brought Cheryl out in costume to chat with Steve and Claudia, but played a recorded version of her routine from last week’s show.

Cheryl’s young son will be glad that she made the effort to put her costume back on for the final. She earlier revealed that he was a little confused by her new blonde hairdo!

Comedian Rufus Hound has revealed that X Factor judge Cheryl Cole loves his dance routine to her song ‘Fight For This Love.’

Hound’s hilarious military themed dance routine has won him a place in tonight’s Let’s Dance final and he told The Press Association:

“I was told through the grapevine that she’d seen it and really liked it but like all the things on the grapevine you have no idea whether it’s true, but today one of my dancers who is also one of Cheryl’s backing dancers told me he spoke to her and he went, ’she loves it, she thinks it’s the funniest thing’.”

“I did think if she is a bit down in the dumps it might help to cheer her up. At no point did I do it to help Cheryl but the idea that during a rough time she got a giggle out of it well, that’s really nice,” he said.

Let’s Dance For Sport Relief airs tonight on BBC One at 7pm.

EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison has admitted that the blonde wig she wears during her Let’s Dance For Sport Relief routine, confuses her young son.

Fergison donned a blond wig and white tracksuit to perform Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’ on the show two weeks ago and told the Press Association:

“I think my son was very confused – He’s 10, he was like, ‘oh, what’s going on?’”

She added: “A lot of people thought I had cut my hair but it was just the wonder of showbiz and make-up.”

When asked why she was chosen to represent the BBC soap on the charity TV show she said: “I think it was who had some time off, and I had the week off and they thought, ’she’s lazy, this one needs her glutes seeing to, let’s see if she can dance.’ I think there were a few people who would have loved to have done it but because of filming they couldn’t.”

In other news, Cheryl revealed that she sustained a ham string injury during rehearsals this week.
