So, again, what did he say or do that makes him fit the labels you've given him? Must have passed me by too, all I remember is his glowering in the background when his wife had snogged her partner.
Strange because I don't remember there being any uproar about the BBC retaining a professional dancer on the show who posted racist/transphobic/xenophobic tweets, and 'the other things'.
It only takes one wrong tweet these days and you're finished. Shocking that he still kept his job on a high profile prime time TV show with that tweet history.

Personally I think Nina was robbed. I still think she had so much to work on and give. Not sure Katie can be arsed and she's kind of sloppy to watch - if she can find the time in her ridiculous filming schedule, I think she will improve but I'm also not convinced of her and Gorka together.

I am sure Katie must be a lovely person in real life as I never see anyone say different and she raised brilliant awareness to cancer on Coronation Street that resulted in thousands more women getting tested.

But on Strictly she comes across as miserable and stand offish. Could be the accent or permanent resting witch face but she doesn't come across as friendly or approachable.

I think she's having a really hard Time juggling Strictly and filming, and just doesn't have enough time to let loose and be herself while learning to dance. What she needs for movie week is a silly, upbeat dance as I believe she's actually quite goofy and could endear herself this way.

It never made it to the press so obviously strictly weren’t going to sack him 🤣

please, we need receipts for this
as i’ve said twice now it was well over a year ago so not sure how to find them now. if you want to see them that badly then you will need to search for them, i’ve tried to have a look on twitter but the girl i remember posting about it originally has actually now blocked me due to me arguing with her about the situation so… also argued with a nutcase of a woman on the digital spy forum (which i can safely say i have barely been on since 😭) as she said painting your face black and referring to yourself as the n word was ok 😑

I do recall them all censoring his name by typing “n*il” or something similar so he wouldn’t see their tweets which i don’t really get 😂 think that’s why i’m struggling to find them. He said quite a few vile things about chinese people and people were shocked as he is such close friends with nancy.

The 'it never made the press' old chestnut 😅
bless you
Not sure what you are trying to imply but regardless i don’t appreciate the patronizing. Sorry if you’re some huge neil jones fan but i can’t help it that he’s problematic 🤷🏻‍♀️

No point in continuing to de-rail this thread with chats about this, i would much rather just go back to the strictly gossip at this point if i’m honest 😭
 
I don't want to see them badly or even very much at all, just that if you're going to give someone those labels, which is happening increasingly these days, it would be a good idea to at least be able to back it up, rather than with a dodgy recollection and the effects of mind banishment. Even under the umbrella of a pseudonym and on social media, it's a serious accusation to throw at someone. I don't agree with people finding him 'creepy' or using ginger as an insult but to make the dreaded list of Phobes is another thing.

Tbh i’m not really arsed if people believe it or not, i’m hardly going to make up some elaborate story about a dancer on strictly 🤣 trust me i have better things to be doing, i’m trying to find the receipts but as i said it was well over a year ago therefore it’s difficult 🤷🏻‍♀️ i’m more than happy to throw the accusation at him because i’ve seen the various tweets etc that show him making racist & xenophobic jokes

I'm not implying anything. You've implied quite serious things about him with no back up. I've got no interest in him either so no apology necessary. Was just surprised he would be on a major TV if he were that bad. It's so easy to uncover old tweets.

It’s not easy to uncover old tweets when the person who originally brought it to the surface has blocked you 🤣 neil of course deleted the original tweets that were offensive so i’m not really sure what i’m meant to do in this case. as you were x
 
Well you may have better things to do but perhaps the person you fell out with didn't. If only one person brought it 'to the surface' out of the millions on Twatter, maybe he/she was being a little mischievous/malicious?

Either way, he and his partner are out. Hopefully she had a good experience despite his now alleged 'views' and she looked gutted, bless her. Didn't mind the opening song, but the halfway treat by Griff (?) was, only an opinion, frigging awful.

I searched for them thinking a forum like this would be discussing them - usually somebody would have screenshots, but there is absolutely nothing.

Not the singing bog roll cover doll with anal bead hair! Incidentally, I've never heard of Griff (old 🥲) but I was expecting a big sturdy Welsh lad when they announced "Griff".
 
Yeah there’s really no point in continuing to discuss this anyway if i can’t find the tweets, you guys are more than welcome to go and have a look for yourself if you want to see them! Happy he’s gone but gutted for Nina, especially as she went home over Katie who at times looks like she would rather be anywhere else…

Not sure i knew this thread existed at the time otherwise i would 100% have posted them on here. I’m still trying to look back but i’ve liked/tweeted so much in the past year and a half that it’s almost impossible to find them. If i do i’ll bring them straight to this thread 🙄

No, I found sod all as well. Strange that.

The only Griff I heard of was Biff's grandson in Back the the Future 2. The last singer I saw as tall as her was Marilyn Manson at Reading 2001.

Edit: And Mr Rhys Jones.
 
I think with the singers is they are actually probably fairly decent and have probably had a large amount of professional training. But I think their training is way beyond pop songs… I noticed this on glee when they’d give theatre trained Lea stuff like Britney and it always sounded awful. So when this lot are given these pop songs that have usually been fiddled with to fit the dances they don’t sound right.
Good points, I thought they did a good job with the Sean Paul song though, surprisingly.

I can't remember exactly what he said, apart from remember he did a racist joke about a picture of him with a very OTT tanned Katya but they were there and were inappropriate. The joe sugg fans were yet again on their soap box and for once targeting him for abuse and not Dianne, demanding he gets sack.i Image the paper's didn't spot it due to the constant shite and bile they constantly spout. . I suspect their tweets would still be there if anyone could face the pain of reading through their absolute shite. The biggest shock is the fact it's week 2 and his fans haven't called her a slag yet.

Seriously dreading shrieking Amy next week. I'd howl if they went straight out but think Rhys will be the first night shock exit as he's good but just a bit forgettable and a bit boring when Claudia chats to him.
 
I think she's having a really hard Time juggling Strictly and filming, and just doesn't have enough time to let loose and be herself while learning to dance. What she needs for movie week is a silly, upbeat dance as I believe she's actually quite goofy and could endear herself this way.
This, and a better pair of shoes! The heels were high on her ones for the jive.

I think the right person went this week. Last week Nina’s samba was good but I think her longer hair and the additions to her dress were perhaps to distract, but she was good for week 1. The Tango didn’t work at all and the blame for that has to go to Neil. The routine looked quite complicated and I can see why he felt he had to stand out however if she had a more simpler routine, I think she would have got the votes.

It’s an incredibly tough year and I think the dance offs are going to be harder to predict. We are very, very spoiled with the quality of dancing of some celebs in weeks 1-3 nowadays - I started watching when Chris Hollins won and apart from a couple of standouts, weeks 6-8 were not as good as we’ve even seen so far!

She recently won a Brit
