Damn saffron’s not very graceful is she 😂



What a weird comparison 😂 how is anika rice anything like Dianne buswell???

Both are filled with excessive energy as performers, appear to enjoy physical activity (not being saucy) , have big smiles, noticeable hair and you wouldn't find either on Question Time. I should have made it clear that I was thinking of Anneka Rice at DB's age. :)

When ‘Michelle Visage from Ru Paul’s Drag Race’ was announced I thought she was an actual female impersonator! 🙈 Realised she wasn’t shortly after. 😂It can only make things more interesting with same-sex couples, bring it on.

I'm excited to see how this would work since someone has to lead a dance in most cases (at least on the SCD dances)

I watched half of the opening show this morning (yaay shift work) and I'm glad Neil has someone so highly rated (bookies' fave last I read)

The pro would surely always lead? Just because they are more experienced. Who knows, agree, will be interesting to see

I had the displeasure recently of watching a cookery show with Ainsley Harriott and Len G, as Ainsley introduced Len to menus from around the world. To say that Len was Jurassic in his culinary tastes in an understatement. Len's top ten dishes were extraordinary. He is indeed living ni the dark ages.

Surely it’s a generation thing though? He’s the same as my Nan. She’s never eaten curry or Chinese or a burger. That stuff just didn’t used to be around when she was younger. That out of date viewpoint will just die with that generation.

Len has no excuse though. He has been globetrotting with dance. He behaves more like my late f-i-law who would be over 100 now if alive, who never touched curry in Ceylon (as then was) nor Greek food in Crete - nor Arabic cuisine in Aden - but that was WWII, FFS - 74 years ago.
