Be interesting to see who gets the Manchester win between Layton or Ellie. Not ruling anyone else out but home crowd and all that! Would be lovely for either one of them to win it.
Remember that story about Debbie and the AlsationView attachment 2676566
Bringing out the big guns eh Gio.
Pleading the 5th on that one!Dianne, by any chance??![]()
Why have they got Nikita in a hideous blonde wig when he’s already very blondeKaren wearing the green outfit Luba wore in the Blackpool dance so guess they’re not taking that boy out of the routine. I wonder who will do Johannes part? Presumably one of the males without a partner as the others will be dancing with their celebs… Maybe it will be Neil?

The barbie dance, Nikita as Ken (rip thrusting Nikita gif)
Not sure who Layton is supposed to be but he looks fab!!
What in the name of jaysis is Pasquale wearing?Gio's tour looks like they took costumes from Mad Max 3
Anyone else think Gorka might not be back next week?!I can't get over him giving an 8 to a jive that was worse than the one he did with NikitaI would barely have even known it was supposed to be a jive, I swear there wasn't a single kick in it. And he gave the ringer who was the best by a wide margin the same score?!
Can't blame him for having lost his mind by that point though, at nearly 3 hours and still not halfway through.
The other judges: Going batshit crazy
Gorka: Disassociating
Interesting that Vito hasn’t been publicly friendly with Gio since he started seeing Jowita- I didn’t know the two lined up! Thinking back during series 20 we always thought Vito and Jowita would’ve been cute so we’re very shocked when the news of her and Gio broke!! Obviously is probably just a coincidence but still!No that was a joke! he definitely wouldn't do it. And looking at Dianne's story, the pros on tour all seem to be harmonious and having a laugh. Gio is definitely the outlier.
Thinking back on the Gio-Vito timeline, I remember Vito doing a story before the show in August, speaking in Neapolitan about someone being a dickhead. We speculated then that it might have been Gio, but mainly because we generally think he's a bit of a dick. Vito then posted a nice message for Gio's birthday early Sept. Then they went to the premiere of Moulin Rouge together late Sept, and posted a story together so that all seemed to be fine and a nice Italian bromance.

The last post of Gio's Vito liked was Halloween 2022 (he liked nearly all of them till then). The last interaction I remember between them was the Carbonara boys at Blackpool (November 2022) and Vito taking the piss out of Gio's double-breasted jacket (also Blackpool). Then crickets. Not sure if the timeline lines up with Gio starting up with Jowita or other things.

I’m gutted as Layton and Nikita’s AT is what I think of as their dance. Then again it makes me cry so maybe not so good for me in publicLooks like Layton won't be doing his AT as both Angelas are doing theirs
It'll be either QS or Charleston now.
Yeah, I think some of them are in a hotel? Neil vlogged (!) the other day about going down to breakfast (though he lives in Leeds so would have to stay there). Maybe Vito has given up his London flat? or the hotel is just nearer where they rehearse.Ah - the daily mail running with a story that Vito and Ellie headed back to the same hotel - confirming romance - pretty sure Jason G is also in one of the photos.

God, that's a real slow news day if they're resorting to 'scandalous' headlines about Graz!I saw a headline someone about Graz announcing “it is official following split from partner”. It was just him being paired with Annabel and split from Zara!
Don't the celebs usually join in? looks like they just walk around the stage and leave.
Footage of the opening number from the tech run.
I like it a lot better than I did in the launch show.
I think Layton will win a lot, and maybe Bobby? seem to be lots of Bobby fans on SM at the tour. I'm sure as with Helen last year there's an element of righting a perceived injustice that your fave should have won. Hopefully Ellie will win a few.Be interesting to see who gets the Manchester win between Layton or Ellie. Not ruling anyone else out but home crowd and all that!
