Joe was quite an underwhelming winner in a standout series imo - lots of entertaining contestants and three female finalists who were great in their own ways. I remember when Joe had the best betting odds in that final week, but never really got why - he was fine, but just a bit bland. I guess perhaps the usual Strictly problem of quite mediocre male contestant looked on more favourably by the public? I thought Debbie should have won too

Genuinely really jealous you got to see Ruth's samba 😆
It was just awesome, there was genuine hilarity when she appeared 😂. We were off to the side of Eamonn Holmes, he was killing himself laughing. The whole day was brill, but long. I always tell people to register when the ballots open, I never in a million years thought we’d get to go. We were super lucky because The Wanted were the band on the Sunday episode but the Stereophonics also recorded because they couldn’t make the weekend they were shown

I’m probs biased because it was the one filmed when we were there but this is still one of my favourite pro numbers

 
Can you just imagine the producers faces. They're planning a first couples pairing with Dianne and Anthony and instead she ends up dating her actual dance partner instead 😂

I'm sure I'm being too harsh but Maura and Giovanni is just screaming showmance to me. I really like them both but this publicity just feels a bit off, especially at the timing of the new love Island

If remember correctly her and ant would’ve danced together so Joe would’ve been with someone else... probably Janette. But given he looks like he has three left feet we were probably saved the cringe. 😂😂

You’re right about them being pure showmance. It’s far too convenient timing and she needs to do something to keep “relevant”.
 
I think at the moment it's a case of DOI having no problem signing up former Strictly contestants, but Strictly has never booked someone who has taken part in DOI.

I guess it's possible if they're desperate to sign up a great celeb that did DOI ages ago, but I can't seem them making an exception for a Love Islander
 
I wouldn't even call it a showmance — fauxmance is more like it!

Denise and Jason both got quite nasty injured on DOI, but Colin did well (I think he was one of the only ones who didn't get Covid or an injury!).
 
SCD have never had a former DOI contestant. Could happen but almost certainly not someone who did it 18 months ago and is primarily known for doing LI. The only LI contestant I could see them signing is Dr. Alex.
 
Yes - I think she is being brought in as Janette's replacement since Janette was always needed for the short celebs.
Glasgow, I hope I’ve got the right person but did you say before that you went to a lot of shows/theatre with your mum pre-COVID. If it is you (🤞🏻 or I’ll look a bit of a Fanny), who or what would be your favourite thing to see when we can get back to theatre?

Same question to everyone?

We don’t go very often tbh but we’ve got tickets for Oti and the Strictly pro tour in May next year and the last thing saw before COVID was the 2020 tour

Sorry, I'm afraid it wasn't me - haven't seen any tours or anything in theatre for years. Was booked for the 2020 pro tour though, obviously that never happened. :(
 
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already but I’ve seen somewhere on a Instagram that Nikita Kuzmin and Cameron Lombard have been rumoured to also be new pros as the main strictly producer who hires pros started following them along with Jowita.

Cameron also just moved to London and Oti and Motsi commented on his Instagram post
