I don’t get it either. How much of a tin ear do you have to have to think that a Lancashire accent sounds like someone attempting to impersonate a West Midlands accent?
Or was that comment a thinly veiled ‘all northerners sound thick and common’ dig? I’m guessing so, given that Katie was thrown in for good measure too.
So do Adam and Sara also sound identical!! Maybe contestants on Strictly should get elocution lessons??
 
The glow up is MAD. Not too sure about the onesie but he looks handsome when he’s freshly showered & looking relaxed.

I can’t say I’ve followed him since bake-off but he seems quite nice on the TV & I can’t see any dubious past. His Insta isn’t packed with selfies either. Some but
 
I’ll be honest I can’t stand AJ’s accent either, I feel horrible saying it but i think it’s a combination of the accent and her shouting and not talking. I also couldn’t stand Katie’s accent. It’s not because they are northern(I live in Yorkshire!) and I don’t think they sound anything like a Brummie, I think they just have very broad accents. I went out with a lad from Blackburn a few times and his accent was much softer. I do think she is really nice and she is a great dancer so I want her to stay.
 
I’m northern. Yorkshire. My husband is from down south. He struggles to differentiate some northern accents 😂 whereas I can tell if someone is from my town or a different town/city nearby 😂

It’s not AJs accent that’s annoying, it’s the volume. It’s nothing personal. At the end of the day Strictly may be a dance competition but it is also a personality competition. See Alexandra Burke. 🙈

I think Judi this week probably, Greg or Sara actually. I love her but she’s middling. If she has ballroom she’ll be OK.
 
I think tonight could be really open as to who leaves. Without Ugo or Rob (who’s dance for the week we’ll never know but I suspect fast Latin) i think there’s a lot of people at risk of dropping onto the dance off if they mess up/under perform. We might end up with shocker this week. We might as well given the week we’ve had 😂
 
Judi or Dan to go for me.
I expected to dislike Dan a lot but even though I think he’s been given dances so far that are better suited to his build/frame, I’ve warmed to him a bit.

But in saying that, the all-over calibre is higher this year than I’ve ever seen (in the regard that there’s been nobody really, really bad) so it might not be too long before he’s starting to ‘knock out’ better dancers.

@Guitarwarrior I hope you’re right, a shocker would put the cat amongst the pigeons and I am here for it!!
