Aw, poor thing. You mind yourself and hope you're not feeling too bad.I dunno, Gio is a bit marmite with the general public: when you cultivate a lothario image you are always going to be vulnerable to that 'he loves himself' criticism. The name Fanny Rat comes from a Daily Mail comment about him! Even aside from the trans stuff, Amanda's online persona is 'bolshy and no-nonsense broad'. I think a woman who was more widely liked would have more traction with this, just as I think the allegations would land less with a less divisive pro like, say, Kai or Carlos.
Someone on DS pointed out that Gio is the only pro Layton doesn't follow, and that he has been friends with Amanda for years. The plot thickens.. Anyway, this is keeping me entertained while I have Covid - just need the tapes to come out now!
The pros are contracted on a series by series basis, they’re not on a permanent contract, so there’s no necessity for any form of ‘leave’. Depending on how things pan out, all that needs to happen is that he doesn’t get offered a contact for the 2024 series.I really can’t see how Giovanni can come back to Strictly if this does go down the legal route depending on how long it takes surely he will have to be on some sort of gardening leave? One thing he won’t be able to mention it on his tours! He may also have to be careful with what he says on his tours about Strictly.
What will happen about his adventure to Spain with Anton - I guess that will be put on hold until this resolved?The pros are contracted on a series by series basis, they’re not on a permanent contract, so there’s no necessity for any form of ‘leave’.

I think her and Fanny Rat were probably a match made in hell. Both absolute arseholes.I wonder if she didn’t get her full fee for leaving hence this story about PTSD?! I think she had issues …her partner also has a claim going on or had for his accident …
Looked at DM and not v complimentary about Amanda …
I think she is hard work that’s the vibe I get/got
I say that's the truth of it!!I think her and Fanny Rat were probably a match made in hell. Both absolute arseholes.
TBF while Neil is annoying, has he ever allegedly given anyone PTSD? (bar @StephenTJackson through his unbearable hotness
I kinda hope he doesn't, he just doesn't have a kind face. I never warmed to him even though when I initially saw him I thought he was fit as fuck that quickly went away.Interesting to see if Gio returns this year…
I think this is the case!I think her and Fanny Rat were probably a match made in hell. Both absolute arseholes.
I thought she came across as a bit of nervous wreck on Strictly. This is a really intense experience, I think there should be some kind of psychological assessment before they are offered a place to make sure they can handle it. I get that a few weeks with Gio might not be a very pleasant experience (it’s certainly not something I would want, Nikita would be a different matter) but to get diagnosed with PTSD would suggest to me there is something else going on there. She doesn’t appear to be very emotionally robust.I dunno, Gio is a bit marmite with the general public: when you cultivate a lothario image you are always going to be vulnerable to that 'he loves himself' criticism.

Before you start @StephenTJackson, yes we know you will help Neil to shine by
Oh yea I will. Lots of exposed skin, sexy dancing, close and intimate. He will shine so bright.Before you start @StephenTJackson, yes we know you will help Neil to shine byredacted due to risk of trauma to everyone else
Definitely, they need to stop being so risky with the celebs wellbeing. What happened to Nigel was ridiculous (being dropped by pros) and what could of happened to Ellie was just downright dangerous. It doesn't need to be bigger and better every year with more stunts that have the potential to go wrong. We just want good dances.The show has just gotten too intense. The 12 hour rehearsal days are just ridiculously long and it wouldn't surprise me if injuries happened through sheer exhaustion. The producers are too concerned with the "big happy family" idea that Amanda would have never been allowed another partner because if they pretended Gio had an injury people would have expected them to end up partnered again at some point and when they didn't stories would start up. They need a limit on how many hours they have to rehearse a day and they need to think more about who they partner with who.
Exactly. It would be no harm at all, to pare things back a bit.Definitely, they need to stop being so risky with the celebs wellbeing.
