I think Rose coped with Gio by taking the piss out of him every time the 'lizzard' appeared and no I'm not talking about his member. She was able to not take it personally and turn it on him but that's just her personality. I think he tolerated being called a lizard and his fierceness being exposed because it endeared people even more to Rose and the more that happened the higher the odds of 'his' win. Ritchie has a similar outlook/ lightheartedness but they didn't get on at all.

Didn't Nicola Roberts not get on with him as well?

He knew he had the winner in Rose, too, so I'm guessing that combined with the fact that she knew how to deal with him, softened his cough, so to speak.

Nicola Roberts said she wanted to strangle him at times. I don’t think she is the type of person who would put up with him week after week, but, for just a Xmas special, was fine. I think she said his style of teaching wasn’t necessarily her style of learning and that’s why she wanted to strangle him. Didn’t she also pull a muscle her neck quite badly?

BIB with GDPR any data (in this case video) can only be used for the manner it’s been obtained I.e to show training for the purposes of the Strictly TV show and by the people it’s been obtained for.
Therefore, her legal team wouldn’t be allowed access to it for other reasons without Gio’s permission as it breeches his and anyone else in its data protection.
However, it speak volumes that he wouldnt agree to it if it were innocent.
I think they’d need to go down a legal route to gain access. Which is what I’m assuming they are doing.

You know I was always pretty sure that in the 'stupid cow' video Gio was talking about Maura as they broke up just after even though at the time people wondered if it was Rose. Now I'm not so sure. Given his temper and arrogance, and the fact he clearly didn't know she was there... Anyway, it gives the lie to people on FB etc who witter on about how kind and gentle he is.

i always thought that was aimed at Rose as didn’t he walk into the room look around and say where is it that stupid cow and then Rose and AJ jumped out on him? I may have imagined the where is that bit though.

And Rose was obviously more likely to be there than Maura.

Yes I thought it was Rose he was referring to, especially with the way Kai reacted when they jumped out.

If I was in Gios shoes and genuinely didn’t think I had done anything wrong I would be happily handing the training footage over to clear my name.

Yes, I guess I thought he was trying to get hold of Maura on the phone or something, but you're right, the 'where is..' is sus. And the fact that Rose didn't know what he said and uploaded it, then deleted it when the captions appeared.

Here it is for posterity, god he looks raging.

The Mail has found two people backing him by liking his post: Lisa from make-up and Jamie Biscuits. Not exactly a rousing show of support..

I remember watching that video clip previously, and thinking how extremely unprofessional of him, to be bursting into the room, shouting the odds and calling someone, presumably Rose, a stupid cow.

On Nikita’s stories on insta is a little clip of his and Luba’s dance.

For me with Gio it’s a simple. If he and the BBC want to clear his name and feel he didnt do anything wrong then release to the complainants legal team the training footage they are asking for. Holding it back for data protection reasons looks a bit dodge to me.

Yes a really bad pairing! I do get that no one should put up with bullying o but how untenable can a situation be if it’s just for a few weeks rather than a job you are stuck in. It just feels like there’s wrong on both sides and Amanda was dealing with her own incredibly harsh circumstances even before dancing with Gio.

He’s not one of my favourites but he has had some brilliant partnerships. Loved him with Debbie and Faye and Rose in particular.

I’ve enjoyed his partnerships more than Johannes’ to be honest. Maybe because I didn’t warm to Ellie or Annabel. I like Gorka but he often doesn’t seem to gel with his partners.

Nikita, Vito, Carlos and Kai all seem to make brilliant partnerships.

Kai’s face cracks me up everytime I see this

Also, in the DS interview he did with AJ in semi final week he insisted he never saw Gio over strictly because of the strict bubbling on that series . He really never lies very well.

Honestly there could be a date-stamped video of him punching Amanda in the face then whipping out his member and pissing on her and 5000 Sandras would immediately reply 'To succeed at that level requires a commitment that some people just don't want to give. She probably didn't want to work hard. When I met him he was lovely'

I am not easily shocked, but the internalised misogyny is shocking. He's not gonna shag you (unless you're 25 and busty)

To be honest we live in a world where Trump became president and effectively the most powerful person in the world - so Gio getting around a 100,000 likes isn’t surprising. What does surprise me is why his supporters are not questioning why Gio isn’t asking for a way round the GDPR issue so the footage asked for, can be released and thus clearing his name as he says he done nothing wrong. This would be the quickest and easiest way.

I’m finding the rampant misogyny of all of this incredibly depressing, not least the dissonance of those insisting that there can’t be a problem because persons A, B, & C didn’t speak up, whilst flinging shit at persons D, F, & G because they have spoken up.
