Why does the photo of Michelle with Hannah Hope of the Sun look like the promo for a slightly lesbian-coded detective series?

Looks like a promo shot for THE FIRST EVER DUO COMPETING AS ONE CONTESTANT on The Apprentice.

Also it’s surely not just me who’s noticing that Michelle hasn’t blended her eye makeup properly in that? Zoom in…and look at the far left end of one eye and far right end of the other.
 
I’ve met some of the pros before (never michelle) so cannot comment. But I was on twitter, and i’ve seen a lot of the stan twitter accounts (tha typically meet all the pros) implying Michelle is showing her true colours? do they know something we don’t 🤨
I’ve met most of these pros before including Michelle and my experience personally was a positive one- she was lovely. I am intrigued by this tea now though 😂

I think she may have shot herself in the foot with any future Beeb appearances. A lot of them make it onto other programmes.

Tbh I am not sold on anybody getting an accurate interpretation of somebody’s personality based on an interaction at stage door.

1) If they want to do it, they will be “on” and probably not being entirely genuine when they meet fans.

2) If they don’t want to do it, nobody is owed their time and they are not being rude to turn you down, they’re just people who are tired after a long show.

3) If they do it but seem standoffish, there could be a myriad of reasons but it doesn’t mean they’re always like that.

Unless they insult or assault you, I truly don’t think anyone can assume a celebrity (or in inverted commas for Strictly pros) is rude by a quick meeting.

I was thinking that too. And if so, it's a shame. It's an industry, the dance world, and like any industry, it's about making the most of opportunities, and not biting the hand that feeds you.

I am however not going to change my opinion on Michelle, based on, as the Irish saying goes - Dúirt bean liom go ndúirt bean léi - a woman told me that a woman told her.

I liked her on Strictly, she is a talented and gorgeous woman and I wish her nothing but the best, and every success in the future. 💃

Glad to be of help, wouldn't want you to miss anything. He posted this on his stories today by the way. May well be an old photo though. Just in case you need the info for your records. 🫠
 
Maybe potentially identifying myself here but I dance a bit and one of my friends dances with Michelle's boyfriend and says he is a gem - generous, kind, really cares about his students, and an amazing dancer. She's also been to some classes with Michelle and says she is super nice as well. Obviously in this case they're both still at work and therefore "on", but I've no reason to doubt her judgement.

Maybe Michelle has burned some bridges but some rivers are not meant for us all. Strictly is a UK light entertainment behemoth but the dance world is bigger than Strictly, plenty of people without Michelle's profile make a living from their love of dance anyway so she'll be grand. Maybe in the long run she'll look back on her time fondly and find her peace doing what she loves in a way that suits her.

Vito again saying things to his friends on social media that probably would be best said privately. There didn’t seem to be any repercussion to his public support of Graziano who was sacked for assaulting his partner so I guess strictly won’t care about this either.

Why should that have been said privately? It's just a supportive comment to a friend

I definitely don’t think Michelle has come across well in this whole ordeal, and she was ill-advised to do this interview, but I don’t think supporting Graziano is any way comparable to this

I also don't think that you can get a accurate or truly genuine interpretation when money is involved.
If you have bought yourself time with them for example a pro tour meet and greet then being in your company is doing their job simple as, money has been exchanged for their time and you'll get the best of them
Its not a spontaneous act of kindness but often you hear 'They made so much time for me and took the gifts I bought for them' truth is often its a VIP experience or some such so yeah of course they made time, took presents and were nice to you you paid them for it.

So how long ago did Scott Mills appear on the show? Imagine if it was something that happened on Strictly with everything else that’s gone on there

I really do not like Vito's over the top support for Graziano. But one thing you can say about Vito is that he seems to have a child like loyalty for his friends. Those that he has known for a long time like Graziano. And those like Michelle who are quite new since he joined Strictly. I think his Friendship will last forever line would be excessive said by anyone else, but if anyone means it, its Vito.
