Presumably the same person who looks after Nadiya's child (her mother) or a paid dog minder. Let's get real - most couples both work these days - and raise children and have pets.

True, but also with most couples at least one of them is there in the morning and the evening plus a lot would have weekends off. That's not really possible when you're both dancers on a big tv show and then tour the country with multiple tours a year.
 
Are these breeds of dogs with folds naturally occur or have they just been over bred to become like that? I’m sorry but I don’t find those dogs cute they look like a science experiment.

Apologies this semi off topic
Here’s an article that shows the difference

Here's What Popular Dog Breeds Looked Like Before And After 100 Years of Breeding

Dogs have been our furry companions for thousands of years, but they didn't always look the way they do today. Many well-known dog breeds have changed a lot physically in the last century, thanks to humans.

It’s a good job they’re financially secure because vet fees for these dogs can be astronomical.

The folds also need looking after. Friend ‘washes’ her Frenchie’s face every night with a gentle baby wipe. He loves it. Say ‘washies’ to him and he gets all excited.:cool:

I’m sure he’s lovely and your friend sounds very devoted, but honestly, duck that. I can barely be bothered to wash my kids’ faces everyday, let alone clean a dog’s skin folds

I thought the one with the beard was Rylan.

Me too! Maybe in the final, when they invite the full cast back for a group dance, Richie should dance with Rylan instead?

I too was thinking ‘why on earth would you actively choose to burden yourself with daily cleansing of another creature’s crevices?’

Is it just me or is crochet Giovanni a bit sinister?

I’m more disturbed by the fact that Crochet Richie has no mouth.😶

Different if you rescue a bracycephalic breed, whole other matter if you buy/gift one and then advertise the fact 😕
This picture is comparing a pug’s airway to a regular breed but same difference with these types of breeds.

OMG same, I love Joseph Quinn. Wonder if he can dance...

Anyway back on topic... maybe something 'stranger things' related to 'Running up that hill' for Halloween week? 🎃

I would love to find out - he's such a lovely funny guy too.

I would be verrrrry surprised if we didn't get something. Eddie/Chrissie AT to Running Up That Hill incoming? Potentially Carlos and Mollie could make this uh-may-zing.

They are both going to be away from home 8-8 for the next few weeks at least. Then the Strictly tour, then presumably other tours. Who will look after the wee fella?
I had a row with one of my best friends when he said they wanted to get a Frenchie. I have had to never mention the topic again as it got quite ugly.

Kai is out of the show and Nadiya will be out this weekend which leaves them both free during the week,they only have to show up Friday and Saturday,I suspect they got him once they seem their show partners and knew they'd be out quick and have time
 
I'm sorry if this comes across as mean but I'm getting really fed up of Jadye's whole 'Anyone can dance' schtick. The Friday panel going on about it as well! It's just all she ever talks about. I mean I have seen videos of larger professional dancers, yes it's a thing!
Pretty sure Ellie doesn't go on at every opportunity how it's so inclusive for her to be on the show.

We know a guy who goes to dance lessons and has done for years because he and his wife love the social aspect. He’s really overweight but when he dances it’s like he floats, he’s absolutely exquisite to watch.

Jayde initially struck me as someone who would love to go far in the competition but on her own merit, but maybe she is also happy to be an icon for bigger people? The clip posted of her here (from her comedy show) was fantastic and if you compete in disco dancing as a kid (happy to be corrected if I’ve got that wrong) then there’s probably still a spark of competitiveness. But the Judges give so many mixed messages and I do feel she was overmarked last week.

I think if she wasn’t receiving 1000 messages a day telling her she shouldn’t be on the show then fair enough it would become annoying, but tbh i don’t blame her for calling out the trolls.

I've said it before but why should we applaud and overweight man or woman dancing as being inclusive . She's large (her choice and she's happy with it) doesn't make it an aspiration nor in her case a disability.

Hamza is good mover and overweight and l don't see the panel or judges going on about his physique. I'm just interested in him dancing and not his size. He's not making it a story.

In real life i see plenty of people of all sizes and shapes and ages dance, moving to music because they want to.
