Vaguely Strictly related but went to see the Panto in Wolverhampton that AJ and Curtis Pritchard are in. Curtis definitely seems the more talented of the brothers. I noticed AJ didn’t even sing along with the whole cast at the end. Just seemed weird to have him playing the Prince but not actually singing to Cinderella as in most versions of the show.

On the other hand, my son went to see Anton in Cinderella with his dad and he said Buttons (Anton) was his favourite as he's "funny and great at dancing".

I do think himself and Gemma are too focused on exercise. I am into fitness (sometimes !) but they seem so intense. Their warmup would be my full workout.
Anyway I’m glad he is at home recovering.

Yeah, I've always been concerned about the amount of times he posts :sick: emojis on his workout stories. Not the slightest bit surprised he got rhabdo. I really hope this is a wake-up call for him to tone it down in future. It can be really serious, even fatal if not treated quickly enough.

It's such a weird direction for them to go. It was noted time and time again when AJ was on Strictly that out of all the dancers he was one of the worst for acting out a dance. And was so wooden when speaking all rehearsed lines, his own words yet he could never make it seem natural.

Yep. Most of those scripted VT bits are cringey, but AJ definitely took them to a new level. Some bit where he was pretending to be a stagehand or something in one of Mollie's rehearsal clips really stood out as toe-curlingly embarrassing.

I can never work out if he and Curtis genuinely believe they can act well or if they think they can pull off a 'fake it til you make it' scenario? I mean, to be fair, there are plenty of professional actors who can't act, so it's not impossible they could pull it off.

Christ. Gemma's latest instastory... one of their fitness friends has gotten Mia some toy dumbells for Christmas. Nice to know they're taking Gorka's exercise-related near-death experience seriously... 🤦‍♀️

I find this quite disturbing and a pretty toxic gift for a child. Mia is what 2 coming up 3 ?? I don’t think a child should be exposed to extreme fitness regimes like Gem and Gorks are into it might mess them up the same way kids can get messed up by parents extreme beauty standards etc

I find Gemma a bit of a hypocrite atm banged on about being in no rush after a Mia was born and she was taking her time yet is bringing out a 12 week new mum plan book.

Entirely agree. The words on the box are just creepy, like indoctrination into a cult.



I really hope they are just treating this as a bit of a joke and aren't actually going to force it down her throat. 😟

Lifting weights is so extreme - introducing kids to fitness should be throwing a ball with them, taking them swimming, going for a walk outdoors, learning a sport...
 
I don't like the way Gemma & Gorka are coming across on that one either. Being healthy is good and all but she's a toddler and 0 need to be doing weights. That also makes me worry about what they'll be like when she is older and can handle more exercises. Quite a few people are f*cked up because of having parents with extreme attitudes to fitness, health etc - I can vouch for it myself, my dad being one...
