Katherine said she lost 1 1/2 stones (21 lbs to us in the USA) since joining DWTS. She said she eats more now then ever before but she practices so much that she still loses weaght. My question is since she doesn't need the money why is she working so hard. Is she just having so much fun. Is she just highly competitive. Is she look for more name reconiigition in America. Maybe something in her past would indicate her personality as to why she is working so hard. PS Sorry for us Americans but Katherine said the rumors of her moving to America is false. Rikky, in order: yes yes yes She is working hard because she has always worked hard. But to her, it is not work.....just a labor of love. PS - Well, we can keep hoping. ;D ;D ;D

Katherine 'perplexed' by tricky wardrobe malfunction on 'Dancing With the Stars'By Anna Chan "Dancing With the Stars" has seen its share of wardrobe mishaps in its 14 season history -- from nip slips to lost shoes and beyond -- but songstress Katherine Jenkins experienced a rather odd malfunction during her cha-cha trio with pro partners Mark Ballas and Tristan MacManus on Monday night.A wardrobe malfunction hardly put a damper on Katherine Jenkins latest ballroom effort.When the two men went to rip off her suit to reveal a sassy, sparkly little number underneath, all but the right leg of the pants did as expected. Instead, Katherine had to dance for a few extra beats with an unexpected additional bit of clothing clinging to her.
"It was wrapped around my foot and underneath my foot, and I just thought, 'Am I going to fall?' " Katherine told reporters after the show. "We still can't work out how that actually happened." As Mark explained after the taping, part of what made the malfunction so strange was that the suit was a onesie that was supposed to just peel off.
"What happened was, when she put her leg up, I yanked on the Velcro," he said. "So as I yanked and she kicked, (the leg of the pants) came off at the same time. ... (Katherine) gunned! So it was too late for me to go get it."
"I’m still a bit perplexed by the whole thing," Katherine added. "I’m glad it was down there and not up here." (Bet all the female stars who've had a wardrobe malfunction up top are jealous!)
Even though the singer ended up making what her pro called a "great" and "instinctive" unchoreographed kick to rid herself of the clingy costume part and ended up with a near-perfect score of 29, the pair wasn't exactly pleased with the final result.
"I was just upset because the leg thing happened and the dance was SO clean," Mark griped. "Like when you watched it in rehearsal ... it was just clean. And then the focus went to (the malfunction) instead of how clean the dance was."
"We don’t need something like that happening in a double elimination week," Katherine pointed out. "But I hope the people at home can see it was completely out of our hands."

May 9, 2012 9:00 AM "Dancing with the Stars": Double elimination sends two stars homeBy Chris Matyszczyk (CBS News) When there are only six stars left, how do you choreograph an elimination, when two dancers have to be sent back to the uncoordinated place from which they came?
On Tuesday night's "Dancing with the Stars" elimination show, the producers decided to get right into the excitement - they immediately showcased Donald Driver and Katherine Jenkins. Surely, neither of these two very pretty people could possibly have been placed into peril by the fickle fingers of voters.
The backstage footage showed just how driven Driver is. When one judge only gives a nine, he believes it must be his fault, never his professional quarterback's. As for Jenkins, her partner Mark Ballas admitted he was bursting to go to the toilet before their elegant first performance Monday night.
"It's a bad time, honey," explained the ever-rational opera diva.Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower, left, and Melissa Gilbert and Maksim ChmerkovskiyWithin seconds, Driver was told he was safe, while Jenkins, stunningly was told she was in jeopardy. For anyone recently arrived from the dust storms of Pluto, this meant absolutely nothing.
Talking of nothing, we were again subjected to former contestants, Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice - and judge Len Goodman - in an attempt to fill time with attempts at humor. At one particularly difficult juncture, we were treated to images of Goodman running down the street in nothing more than his swimming costume. Well, one assumes it was his.
As if the treats wouldn't stop raining down, Chris Brown then appeared on stage and, um, danced. There certainly didn't seem to be too much singing going on.
While Jenkins claimed to be "petrified," we were shown more backstage footage. Before Cheryl Burke began her threesome with partner William Levy and professional Tony Dovolani, presenter Tom Bergeron sidled up to her to offer words of encouragement. "Don't f--- it up," he said.
As if sponsored by a local manufacturer of defibrillators, presenter Brooke Burke-Charvet suddenly announced that either Levy or Roshon Fegan were in the bottom two and would be cast aside immediately.
It had to be Fegan. Yes, he'd had two 10s the previous night, but he had struggled for votes every week. No one knows him and he was a little exuberant at times. He took it with fancy - rather than Nancy - grace.
As one then scanned what remained, it had to be Melissa Gilbert who joined Fegan. Yes, she used to date the fully pouting Billy Idol, but she simply hadn't suffered as many injuries as Maria Menounos - who has managed to break two ribs, two feet and one chin. If she'd had a double chin, she'd have broken the second one too. Gilbert's injury chart was a mere haiku in comparison and this show rewards the warriors.
Menounos' Bollywood samba threesome was still an object of controversy. We were shown footage of Goodman offering it a mere seven and professional Val Chemerkovskiy turning to the camera and offering his highly professional opinion: "That's f----- up!"
Talking of cursing, the next imagery offered by the producers was Melissa Gilbert swearing as she made a mistake, while being dragged around the floor by Maksim Chmerkovskiy. It was unclear whether the word began with "s" or "f", but she was certainly self-frustrated.
Menounos seemed ready to explode in a veil of Greek tears. And yet she was safe. Which meant that Gilbert was inserted into the dreaded jeopardy.
It was either Jenkins or Gilbert to go home. In dancing terms, this barely required eyes, never mind brains. Jenkins has been an excellent and charming performer, while Gilbert has tried so hard, but stumbled with regularity.
Gilbert wept. Jenkins wept. The latter's tears were of relief. The former's were of dreams shattered - or perhaps relief that she wouldn't have to go through another grueling week of rehearsals.
It was then that the pathos was turned up to Mach 11. For Burke-Charvet, one of the most sweetly anonymous presenters ever to appear on television, revealed that this was Gilbert's birthday.
"I can't even describe what a learning and growing experience this had been," said Gilbert. She was, I think, referring to the show, rather than life itself.
"I'm amazed that I made it this far," she added. Again, I don't think she was referring to her birthday, but rather to the show.
In truth, the judges and the viewers combined to make the right decision. Fegan can at least blame his grandmothers for advising him during rehearsals. Gilbert should be proud that she survived the Crime and Punishment (and, of course, joy) that is dancing with Chmerkovskiy.link---> www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-57430693-10391698/dancing-with-the-stars-double-elimination-sends-two-stars-home/

Nicola, there was a bottom three, sort of. Early in the show, Katherine and Roshon's team were put in what the the host terms "jeopardy". Later on, they were brought back up and Roshon was eliminated. That left Katherine in jeopardy. The three remaining teams were brought up and of these three, Melissa's team was declared in jeopardy, and Maria's team and Donald's team was declared safe. Near the end of the show, Katherine and Melissa's teams were brought back up for the final elimination. Consequently, Melissa was eliminated and Katherine was safe. It was a double eliminationm night. So, Katherine actually finished fourth in the voting, and the fifth and sixth place teams were eliminated. Katherine and Mark are really going to have to wow the crowd, and try to get thei momentum back next week. The UK really has to vote and help or I Fear Katherine will be eliminated next week. Katherine has a lot of new fans in America, but Derek Hough has been on the show since its inception, and is a favorite. The same holds true for Cheryl, plus their partners very good too. Confused???
