Well folks, we are still going strong here at the marquee as preparations continue for “Pomeroy Plunkett’s Strictly Weekender”. Indeed we can see Ruairi Donaghy and his partner Niamh Armstrong walking past with sequined “RD” logo emblazoned across there sparkling outfits and we can also see what looks suspiciously like 4 crates of bottled Harp Lager being delivered to Noel McCreesh’s dressing room. Lets see who we can curtail here for a few words.
Alright, nice one! We have got Stacey Corr and Justin McCaffery alongside us for a bit of a Q & A.
Stacey, almost 200 gallon of fake tan is in use for this event and we know that Jane Loughran and Jennifer Mullin got make-up specialists flew in from L.A especially for that purpose. Surely you would be disappointed in the lack of trust that other competitors are showing to you, as Jennifer told us that you would deliberately sabotage her own tan if she went to your salon and Jane states that you were caught mixing cocoa butter with Ronseal Wood Stain. How do you respond to these scandalous comments?
I’m not that disappointed really as it has left us more time to practice, which to be honest wasn’t needed after watching the others perform their freestyles.
Ahhh, don’t get me started on sabotage as lately I have been getting hoax calls for tan appointments but then hearing Caroline and Lisa sniggering on the other end of the phone.
Then there’s the tan issues and I believe that I know how Jane gets her ‘farmers golden brown tan’ her secret ingredient comes from her own back yard!!!!!!!
As for Jennifer and a few of the other girls, they already use Ronseal wood stain, as you will see from there dancing – stiff as a board!
Justy, there was no hiding you utter devastation when you were told that your bright orange football boots could not be worn during the freestyle, dispite the fact that you tried to screw out the studs…….even though they were mouldys. Will that make a big difference?
Well it was certainly a problem as I was practicing in them flat to the mat. I even got a lend of Crico’s pink Gola boots that he sent to me from over in London but Denis Devlin torpedoed that aswell. I have decided to go barefoot now because I seen how ridiculous Marc Nugent looked in the most stupid shoes in the world I did not want people to pigeon-hole me with the likes of him.
Stacey you have been running the roads in recent weeks and doing additional dance training with the Gortnagarn Line Dancers but can you tell us now how difficult is it to run 5 miles wearing six inch stilettos and a Stetson hat? And what are the pink furry handcuffs for?
Well the thinking behind running the roads in Pomeroy with stilettos is that if I can do it on the roads I will be able to run all over the competition on stage and they have came in handy to fend off my supporters through the town.
Oh that reminds me ‘Bridgin’ said that Ollie is looking his handcuffs back….
Justy we hear that you were hoping to bring in some really dangerous moves into the routine inspired by your time on the building site. One move that we just seen you guys do was the “Mix-A-batch and hold” followed by a “Tall Stool Sit Down with Pint Glass”. How crazy are these moves likely to be?
The “Mix a batch and hold” lift is one that I mastered whilst on site with Brian “Babbles” Flanagan back in the day. He really took it to the next level and I learned so much from him in relation to this. I came up with “The Tall Stool Sit Down with Pint Glass” whilst watching Brian Lagan in McLarnons. He was actually working on the “Tall Stool Fall Down” at the time and that inspired me. I’ve been walking all over him since and I intend to dance all over him come next Saturday. Both moves are dangerous but well worth the risk.
Well guys there is no doubt that you are one of the favourites to pick up the title but before you get back to it tell us now can what kind clothing style can we expect on the night?
Stacey – Well, I have been searching through my wardrobe, online and in touch with some of the top designers in the country (Nuala Mc Caffery) over this past couple of weeks to find that perfect dress to wear on the night that will go with my strictly come dancing crown.
Justin – I have some diamond stud earrings, a cowboy neck tie (courtesy of Malachy Foster) and a string vest. Fortunately my band mates from “No Direction” have reformed with Mickey McDonald flying in from Australia for a one off performance so that will really blow peoples minds…….it will be EPIC!
