I am honestly at the point where I don't want any of them to go! Dan won me over with his MC Hammer and making Nadiya tell jokes. Ugo is a delight, I find Rhys' dancing too frantic but he is lovely, and Sara is clearly on a journey (albeit a wee bit overmarked). Tom I could probably part with but the McFly fanbase and the Harry Styles cross-over will defo protect him..

I read a while ago that four (?) pros weren't vaccinated, do we know who? I'm guessing Amy & Graziano? (not shaming anyone for either choice btw just nosey!).

I think it was the ☀️ talking bollocks because nothing really came of it. It's possible that the newer pros maybe hadn't got round to it as they're a bit younger - but the ☀️ were acting like they'd "refused" it.

Graziano posted his vaccine card a while back though and Amy has Crohn's Disease so she'd be clinically vulnerable and almost certainly has had it.
 
I would have been happy for Judi to go this week as I think she's given all she can. I don't want to lose Ugo because a) I fancy him and b) I fancy him, but I suspect he will be gone on Saturday.

The only one I do want to go is Smuggy McChin Fletcher, but that isn't going to happen, is it?

I wouldn't mind Rhys going. He has Karim vibes.

I find his dancing exhausting. Anton was absolutely right about his Salsa last week.

Oh, I forgot Rhys. Yeah, he doesn't do it for me either.

Rhys/Tom dance off, pls.
 
Watching ITT. Not sure about Nadiya's dress for Saturday 😬😂

And Amy's salsa dress. Borrowing from Shirley's banana angel delight frock.

It feels increasingly like they throw any old tat and market stall remnants at the dresses.
The embellishments clash. Who is coming up with these designs? 🙁

Omg just seen Johannes' hat 😂
 
Dresses and mens outfits have definitely gone downhill whereas Tess and Claudia are in a couple of grand of garb each night - with the costume change halfway through. With the changes to the licence fee maybe the corporation is having to cut costs on its flagship show and thinks we won’t notice. What is always good though is the lighting, the effects are incredible. No Blackpool this year I suppose - that will save a bit of cash. No Bruno, bet Anton is on a cut price salary, and Zoe Ball has been downgraded massively job wise and dropped ITT presumably because of her pay cut.

You've got the wrong end of the stick there. Steve Allen has made a 40+ year career out of being a bitchy old queen. He's more likely to be interested in Tom Daley than Tilly. He normally saves his bitchy venom for the likes of Gemma Collins and Katie Price. He was out of order picking on Tilly the other day.

I don’t listen to the bloke, but one things for sure you do not publicly call a teenage girl chubby, well done Tilly for calling him out on this one as she risked a lot giving his vile comments a bigger platform

I haven't watched ITT much this year, but it seems like it's had its budget cut by quite a bit - no regular replacement for Ian, no Gethin on a Friday anymore and I'm guessing Janette's not getting anything near what Zoe got paid. It makes me think they'll be looking to make cuts on the main show's budget over the next few years too - maybe if any judges or presenters leave they will look to start paying them less?

It's crazy how much the judges get paid compared to the pros!
