This was mentioned on the last thread but I was too late to quote

I miss Gio!!! He would probably have been benched this year due to the lack of women but honestly he have been brilliant with Tasha. He's got a ringer on the Italian show and their dances have been fabulous.

Probably wouldnt have been great with Sarah as she's cut from the small cloth as AA - prentious and precious!!! Just say you've got a daughter and shut up (although I did wonder if she was so vague in case people asked questions about where she got this 'little one')

Strangely I think he would also have been good for Toyah. I think he would played up the madness.

It's a shame that there's no way back for Gio. He did some brilliant dances over the years.

But hey they all need to leave at some point. Sometimes this year I thought Aljaz would be leaving in an ambulance!!! Aljaz will be on duffer duty for the rest of his time on Strictly.

But yeah - give me a choice between Aljaz, Neil, Vito and probably Carlos, I'll take Gio every day of the week.

When she was on Love Island Tasha said she knew Gio from the world of dancing, and hinted there had been dates …. obviously open to verification.

Think Chris’s face says it all .. ergo “just duck off Shirley”

I enjoyed the final, the result was inevitable, congrats to Chris and Dianne, I did love Tasha's showdance though. Who was that one male dancer during Raye's song, I didn't recognise him?

I'm shocked that Shirley would put out such an insensitive caption.
I admit I'm a bit confused why people are saying it's insensitive and the wording is bad. I thought it was vomit inducing and very... Shirley, but is it actually offensive?

Yes I believe they went on a date but she didn't want to take it further. Hardly surprising.

i don’t know if i’d go as far as to say it’s offensive i just think it’s really patronising: it’s the “it’s shirley chris! you’re blind! you cannot see me so i have to tell you who i am and that i’m hugging you!” she also doesn’t actually congratulate him, the whole caption is devoted to the fact that he can’t see her. i maybe get what she was going for but it didn’t land at ALL.

it’s not surprising from a woman who said “let me be your eyes” or whatever to him last week 🤣

Oh I agree the post was all about her! I guess announcing herself is better than just pouncing on him without telling him who it is- she probably didn't need to put it in the caption though 😅
Oh I'd forgotten the 'let me be your eyes' thing!! 🙈😆

It's more than patronising - it comes across as infantilising. She's making it sound like Chris is a child.

I cannot stand Shirley Ballas but I actually don't think she meant any harm when she announced herself to Chris.

She has made more egregious comments over the years and I agree it's a tad grandiose of her to post it but that's La Ballas for you :rolleyes:

that’s exactly it! i don’t doubt that everyone announces themselves to chris when approaching him because, just basic manners, but making your entire caption (without congratulating him) being like “chris! chris! it’s me, SHIRLEY” just has me 🤢🤢

plus that dress must have rustled like tin foil, he would have known it was her from a mile away 🤣

To be fair Chris’ fans on social media have spent the whole series infantilising him so it’s not just a Shirley problem.

That was one thing Tasha escaped, at least, other than that silly post from her old college talking about how impressive it was that she used to take the train!

I couldn’t watch the final last night so I’ve caught up with some of the dances on YouTube and omg Tasha’s showdance is absolutely the best thing I’ve seen on Strictly. Just utterly fabulous. There’s ZERO need for wafty bollocks or cringey street when you can produce routines like that!

Also, this is now what I’ll remember Tasha for and not her boyfriend licking some other women’s tit.

Tasha reportedly said that one date with Giovanni had put her off Italian men for life. So no, that partnership would not have worked. She'd have been great with Vito (or Nikita) on the other hand.
Also: Sarah has never actually confirmed that she has a daughter - she and her mum have always said 'child'/'little one'. So maybe there's a story there that she doesn't want to go into. I noticed last night she also said 'them'.
And of course she's like Amanda, yes you're so right :cautious:
