Emma and Rylan are friends too so already have a good rapport with each other. They work well together when they have done This Morning. Rylan isn't my first choice I'd prefer Zoe and Emma but I'd pick him over Bradley 🤣

I used to be a massive ITT fan back in the Claudia/Zoe days but now I'd rather they took the money they put in that into the main show and do something different with ITT.

I don't mind Emma, but I don't find her totally natural for some reason. I'd prefer Zoe and Rylan.

There is talk of it being revamped but I'm not sure anything definite has been said as regards the hosts.
I think they might as well get new presenters for ITT. Get all the changes done at the same time.
Janette - good dancer. Not a good presenter
Fleur - good singer/dancer. Could be a good presenter if she could learn to look more natural when reading the autocue.

I could more imagine Angela doing ITT than the main show but she already does the Apprentice one so maybe would prefer a main presenter role than another side show

The sun were hinting at this gorka and jowita friendship again 🙈 Poor girl the media constantly include her in dating rumours

The article goes on to say that
The curse has split so many families up so the fact Gorka won’t be around what has become a pretty colourful show like Strictly would be a relief for any wife.”

Gorka and Jowita, 31, struck up a strong friendship after she joined the BBC One show and he is said to have become something of a mentor to her.

The Mail’s insider added: “There were some unkind whispers that their friendship had the potential to evolve but that was quickly nipped in the bud and there is nothing to suggest that.”

All Jowita has to do is glance in the general direction of a bloke and there are articles speculating about her love life.

Secretly relieved he's going back to Spain, more like!

(Poor Jowita, though,)
Yip she’s always at the brunt of it unfortunately. i went and seen pro tour on thursday and there’s a steamy dance between jowita and julian (involving julian with his top off and jowita getting flung around) to dream on, and that will be the next the papers

I have heard whispers already about their chemistry but Jowita has chemistry with everyone 🔥 can’t wait to see that dance on the tour though 🔥

Having seen the Celebrity Traitors line up, Strictly is definitely the poor relation in the BBC.

God knows who'll they'll sign up this year. It'll probably need to be filled with Love Island and TOWIE folk.

I've loved Strictly but it's definitely on a downward slide.

I'm still hoping that Zoe will get a presenting role. But that could be cos I'm old. They might want some one younger to connect with the kids.

I'll also be disappointed if they don't stick to 2 women presenters. I feel that male/female combo is totally repetitive and it was great that Strictly didn't do this when Brucie retired.

[Okay some tour spoilers … as i also seen in last night in edinburgh and thursday in stockton a few things

- There’s an instant dance section. last night it was vito and kai doing a rumba- the audience gets to pick the style and dancers (although jowita isn’t included as she is doing a quick change for the next dance)

- Luba mentions her departure but not gorka, which i found strange, she teared up at both shows

-Jowita gets flung about as usual and personally found she was the most entertaining to watch. she had lots of dances with julian, vito and neil and would say she was a feature of quite a few routines. In act 1, she was a whole long feature with neil where they show would they film and record with the celebs and then go into a routine. She then had multiple other duets throughout and had a fortune teller dance where she let and had mutiple trios with vito, alexis, a group part in it and luba and jowita duet

-Luba danced with julian for a wicked inspired routine and Kai and Nancy performed the Mulan routine from the sho. Gorka and Lauren also did Mien Hier inspired routine (wasn’t the helen choreo)

Honestly I'm not really sure there's any point in comparing the castings of the two shows as they're nothing alike. One is just them hanging around in a castle and having fun for 2-3 weeks, the other is intense 8 hour dance training for up to 4 months. Even if they had a huge budget to throw money around, Strictly still won't get some of those big stars that agree to do The Traitors, because they'll just never do it with the amount of effort and time off their usual job that's needed.

Also The Traitors is just the new trendy show that is currently in it's peak, I'm sure they'll get to a similar Strictly-looking cast if it's somehow still around in 10 years, never mind 20+ 😂

I hope that is not what next happens. Julian is engaged to a lovely Australian girl, who features in a lot of his Social Media. I understand she is coming over for the series.

I think they'll be ok. It wouldn't be nice to see but they seem to be a solid couple, they're moving to the UK, they're engaged and Julian seems like a good guy. I would feel more sorry for Jowita tbh. It seems like she can't just have a male friend without being "linked" to them in a romantic way, I'd hate it.

Stacey on Michael McIntyre, no kevin
What‘s wrong with her being there without him? She’s an independent woman with her own career and could be said to be the far more successful part of the partnership. If Kevin was on the programme on his own would anyone wonder where Stacey was?
