Strictly Come Dancing 2024

[whoareyoukidding]

It does make me wonder if Gio was actually the source for the S*n's story about Vito and Ellie fauxmancing. I know he's claimed to hate the Sun but I remember a fan spotted he has both the Sun and Mail apps on his phone

Anyway, the boys are back in town! from Nikita's story - Vito looks like he's still mentally back on the farm

Sweaty Vito is back

Is this the first 2024 'rumour'? Brooklyn Beckham's wife . I mean, it sounds like bollocks but it is a kinda Tilly Ramsey type nepo booking so who knows

Nicola Peltz 'considers signing up for Strictly Come Dancing'

The actress, 28, is reportedly considering signing up to the next series of Strictly Come Dancing in a bid to boost her profile in the UK.

Yes, his face was a picture.

I always notice him in the Clauditorium, ever ready with pats on the back and hugs and general celebration for everyone.

He's an actual human labrador 🩷

I so hope he gets a contender next year. I think he'll combust if he gets to his first final.

I loved him with Kym last year.

I was prepared not to like her, purely on the basis of the role she played in Corrie which makes no sense, I know.
They delivered some lovely performances. And she was genuinely surprised and pleased to get as far as she did, imo.

Another update. I’m sure Richie unfollowed Gio ages ago. Zoe Ball definitely did. The press won't let go of this anyway

Zoe Ball unfollowed him? They always seemed on really friendly terms

 

[Tanley]

Graz really does seem lovely, I think he has a similar personality to Aljaz (who I still miss).
Nurturing, friendly, encouraging and good humoured. And a bit soppy at times

The press won’t let it go of this story about Gio probably because in the past he has baited the press and it makes the BBC look bad - the daily fail etc will do anything to discredit the BBC.

Not friendly after he partnered Ritchie. I always found it slightly odd that Anton and Gio didn’t do any promotion on her breakfast show for their travel series - imagine that was their target audience? Or at least I don’t think they did.

I was being nosey last week and checked - Richie was definitely still following him a few days ago. But yeah, I think Zoe unfollowed him a while back

 

[Nordic]

I’m still aghast at the recording of “stupid cow”. Assuming there was no explanation regarding context then that really shows Gio up. Really unpleasant.

Daily Mail going to town

Giovanni Pernice faces Strictly boycott

Amanda Abbington, 51, quit Strictly mid-series last year citing 'personal issues', with reports of a fallout with professional partner Giovanni Pernice.

Although this one reads like it’s setting it up for it being his decision to leave … emerging BBC light entertainment face.

(could probably have done without this bit, though:
Some do it for the experience, learn a new skill and up their profile, while also having some fun.

'Whereas others are hugely determined and want to lift the glitterball by putting in the hours in the rehearsals and working their backsides off.

'If you are aligned with the latter and can accept the tough talking and brutal approach, Giovanni is your man.')

On a different topic to the Gio drama, just seen this on Ellie's Q&A about her and Layton sharing a wig. Made me chuckle

 

[Boogs]

I was just reading Ellie’s answers. She is such a sweet girl.

Also a couple of the shippers.

 

[posy]

I do love Ellie and Layton - theirs mums must be very proud of them.

I think sweaty/farmer vibe Vito is my favourite Vito. Quite possibly my mis spent youth with farmers sons.

 

[calmyourritas]

I genuinely am obsessed with Vito and his chest hair

It’s easy clicks at a time when there’s not much else in the way of tv/celebrity gossip. Plus the tabloid press are hankering after the next celebrity ‘fall from grace’, as it’s been a good few months since they had one to run with.

So many young people of their generation seem to be very self focussed and have a massive sense of entitlement so it’s lovely to see young people who are kind, thoughtful and hard working. They are both excellent role models.

Also a good way of having a go at the BBC, especially for the Mail. They're trying to hammer on the idea of 'why didn't they do something??' and presumably hoping it comes out that they did let Amanda down. I see one story says that 'Strictly has had a shake-up behind the scenes in a bid to handle the intense coverage following the row, replacing their current PR leads with a more senior BBC representative'. Though their PR just seems to do nothing but allow leaks?

What are the criteria of putting the pros and celebs together. It can’t be height as Dianne has had 2 tall celebs in 2 years. Do the pros have any push or say in who they’d like and how about the celebs? Do we know?
