Austin is feeling really positive and determined about this week's dances. Having achieved the highest ever Paso score at the weekend, Austin claimed that the "Paso felt fantastic- I've never had a feeling like that on the dance floor - it was built on aggression, and I could transfer rugby characteristics into the dance - I came off that stage with the biggest smile on my face!"

This week, Austin and Erin are tackling the Salsa and the American Smooth. Austin has been waiting to perform the American Smooth all series, pointing out that, "there's no point having Guns if you can't do a proper lift and I can't wait - I just hope I don't drop her! I'll be doing 501 press-ups every night (to further sculpt the guns)!" Erin is so proud of Austin, describing him as sensational on Saturday but warns that it will be a challenge to get our rugby star to be the perfect gent for the American Smooth.

They were the only couple to start training on Sunday and had a couple of Salsa experts to help them. Although Austin found the Salsa steps hard, he made good progress but admits he's feeling the pressure as the competition steps up another notch!
