Strictly Come Dancing: Super-fan Clementine's review

Clementine hopes the It Takes Two team need a new fashionista

Clementine, the living fashion doll, is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing and like millions of people is following every heel-turn of the hit BBC show.

In week 10 ex-EastEnder Ricky Groves tangoed into a dance floor tangle.

The judges failed to save him in his third consecutive dance off and Jade Johnson left the show due to injury.

"I love Strictly and fashion is my passion, so I will be commenting on the fantastic foxtrot frocks and odd dance dress disasters," said Clementine.

Each week, dolly diva Clementine will be sharing her thoughts on Strictly in an exclusive video diary for BBC Norfolk, updated from her country home, a sandcastle on Sheringham beach.

Strictly Come Dancing returned to our screens on Friday, 18 September, 2009, with a new format and new judges.

The show captivated the nation when it first appeared and the re-discovered love of dancing shows no sign of abating.

Clementine still holds a flame for ex-Strictly hunk Rav

"I can't think of a nicer way to spend the chilly autumn evenings than to snuggle down and get a weekly fix of strictly, it gives your night a glamour glow," said Clementine.

'Strictly is like a nature programme for fashionistas.

"We get to see celebrities in their natural habitat - glittering under studio lights and in front of cameras. It's like Autumnwatch with sequins, just with none of the funny smells!

"I'm most looking forward to seeing the costumes. With so many contestants and so many different dances it's a real challenge for the costume designers to keep dazzling us, but they always do."

Clementine's story

Clementine hasn't always been a pint-sized megastar. She came to life following a freak accident when a falling satellite exploded into a plastics factory.

She now lives in London, but her road to fame and fortune started on a beach in Sheringham, when she was discovered splashing in the surf looking for mermen by Norfolk puppeteer Mark Mander.

It's why she's made the north Norfolk resort the location for her second home and beach retreat.

If you image the love-child of Lucile Ball and Barbie, Clementine works as a singing star, fashion icon and TV presenter with her tiny feet steeped in both fantasy and reality.

She's been sharing her fabulous lifestyle with BBC Norfolk since Christmas 2008 when she gave us an exclusive performance of Santa Baby.

Since then, cameras have followed her on a number of adventures around the county.

Clementine was hoping to find hidden treasure in Thetford

She made the most of the sales, taking advantage of Norwich's status as one of the top five shopping destinations in the UK, has gone in search of Norfolk's Jack Valentine and always on the hunt for some antique bling, Clementine went on the search for hidden treasure.

Sometimes she can be as sassy as Samantha from Sex in the City and at others, as naive as Ugly Betty!

When not watching Strictly, she's busy working on her live stage show.

"I love performing to a live audience, but for the next few weeks I'll be enjoying my weekends in front of the TV with Bruce, Tess and the Strictly team, just like millions of other fans" said Clementine.

"When it comes to bling I'm like a magpie, and it doesn't get any more sparkly than Strictly Come Dancing - it's such a wonderful show.

"I think Strictly is good old fashioned showbiz, that's why I love it so much. You don't have to know anything about dancing to be entertained.

"For me, the dancing is only one part of the shows appeal - we can't help but cheer on our favourites even if they have two left feet!"

Strictly Come Dancing can be viewed on Saturday nights on BBC One. If you miss an episode you can catch-up on BBC iPlayer.
