Especially at the start with all those dates ahead of you. I'm sure it's much easier when you are half way through, a lot less daunting and just enjoying the experience before it ends.

She seems fine here with Vito, cuddling up as usual etc. Love her little jumpsuit.Your right she wore black both nights so in my mind same outfit.
Ellie seems fine to me, in that she's probably a bit overwhelmed the tour must be intense for the celebs not forgetting all the fans that stalk them around but still really enjoying herself.
In hindsight Bobby dominating the tour shouldn't have surprised me he's is slap bang in the middle of tour voters demographic the Nans and the The kids.
I read on Twitter that yesterday the bum-sniffing number was axed? Did Karen threaten to take them to a tribunal?

Yeah that is why I just said they bring personality, I don’t love or hate them. I can see why they divide opinion though, as sometimes I like them but equally I have been known to shout “oh fuck off” at the tele (especially when Alison is on)BIB But I can't stand their 'personality' so won't watch a thing they are on. I find them unbearable.Now having said that I do appreciate we all have different tastes in folk and tv presenters

No, I was referring to Arduino and Alberto! I don't follow Alberto, but every time Arduino goes home he's joined at the hip with Alberto.
I don't think Vito is gay, but he could be bi, or just shagging everyone in the giant polygamous orgy that is Strictly..

Finally found a clip with some of Layton's QS. Only about half of it, unfortunately, but better than nothing. Also some of the opening and closing numbers, Ellie's Paso and AS, Bobby's Samba, Angela's AT and a few more.
Layton's backflip is amazing! And I'm very pleased that Nikita's hair is at Maximum Floppiness in the QS

I was about to agree, but then I remembered him telling Aaron Carter of all people "I'd be proud of you if you were my son" so yeah I could see him going gaga over Bobby
This picture reminds me a lot of the one in Blackpool where they were in rehearsals and he's standing there grinning at her.
In regards to kids and car seat/seat belts I wish the punishment for this would be to look at photos and videos of kids thrown from cars to see the absolute horrific injuries even a slow expulsion can have on a child's body and the stories of them killing passengers in the front seats because they hit them at speed. Hopefully then then if they continue to want to risk their lives they might at least care a little more about their kids.
I can understand some countries aren't as strict on such matters but many of them have lived in the UK a long time their is no excuse.

I feel quite sick saying this but on one of the show’s social media snippets D&B were talking about snacks and she mentioned Bobby eating a lot of watermelon

Watch it be that his next tour is a joint tour with Lauren or some other dancer, instead of just his own tours. I don’t think he’s that old, maybe all the cigs have caught up with him

Yeah, seems to be an Italian thing. A few months ago Alberto's sister posted something for his birthday that he reposted on his stories - a photo of them hugging, with heart emojis and the caption 'my love.' I was like, 'hmm, girlfriend, perhaps?' then noticed the same last name.Yes, it was quite something! It runs in the family: his brother and a different female cousin came over during the show. she posted pics which included one of her cuddled up in bed asleep with Vito's bro (fully clothed)! They obviously bunked in together in Vito's spare room, but I have never shared a bed with an adult male cousin!
And I still can't figure out what's going on with him and Arduino. They always seem to be at the same family gatherings/holidays. Are they a couple? Just very close best friends? Are they cousins? Been following them both for nearly 4 years, still have no clue.

I appreciate his manic energy more in show than on the panel I thinkI’m sure everyone has it’s just that Ellie’s 2 falls have been quite obvious and caught on camera but dealt with well and with style.
I just looked to see whether that tiktok had any other strictly videos as they were so close to the dancers. The only other one was this which has made me really warm to Mr Flibberygibbet. I love seeing them interact with the audience

That was a rerun; the episode originally aired last year I believe and she did post about on social media then I think.Surprised Dianne didn’t big this up last night

I’m the one who is about to analyse social media posts here so apologiesAwwww I’ve only just seen that cute little post Vito did earlier about his and Ellie’s journey and the accompanying pics.
No matter what the speculation or stuff that’s going on they really do have a gorgeous little bond
but I thought it seemed v well timed whoareyoukidding

I’m going for a couple of wins for Ellie up north. Leeds & Manchester.
They are all on the same pay 'within' strictly, I believe at one point Anton and Brendan were said to be earing more due to their longevity they don't share exact figures they have always been open about their pay scale.
The Strictly bosses don't care what you earn outside of Strictly, I very much doubt that comes into play when they organising the Pro line up.
I don't see why 'others would have to do everything to stay' no main cast pro has been dropped since Brendan they have all moved on, maybe some a bit nugged but TPTB seem to be keen to keep the Pros long term now a days. I suspect the next female hire will be fairly young due to this they will then have a female pro for the more younger males.
I can see us seeing Diane for a few more years, she doesn't give the impression that she is ready to leave.

He's coming across like one of those washed up old idols who continue to do multiple retirement tours.
Plus he and the strictly theatre company know it will generate talk, at the very least the Beryl's will panic buy the tickets.

Lol, I had to do a lot of digging - I sent it to a mate at the time pointing out the stupidity so had to go back through that whatsapp timeline to retrieve itIt’s always “it will never happen to me” until it actually does. Such stupid behavior, it’s bad enough when adults don’t care about proper car safety but to not make sure your child is properly strapped in etc is even worse and so dangerous. I love Aljaz and Nadiya and they both seem like great parents but need to be more aware.
I will say though I do find it a bit odd that there’s grown adults on here who have pictures of other peoples kids available on deck to post like that

Really random (and potentially stupid question) but when Ellie & Vito went onto this morning and announced they were teaching couples to dance did they say it was for Valentine’s Day or did I dream that? If they did it either means they literally have 3 days of training if the tour ends on the 11th or they are currently teaching people whilst on tour doesn’t it
Honestly Vito managed to keep the Strictly barbers away from his hair the whole season and only had a trim when he got to Rome. He must be delirious on lack of sleep to have weakened so quickly on tour!
