That's lovely. I still feel so bad for Richie - he was such a fan and people (including his own partner) were not very kind to him.

It was nice of Fleur to acknowledge everyone doing well when they were sitting on the sofa. I like seeing a bonded group who care about each other.

I saw Lauren posted the other day that her and Richie went to Birmingham Christmas markets together, so it's nice they seem to have become genuine friends

There will be Strictly curse rumours now because Molly has gone for married Graziano next. šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

The Fail and Mirror have got the Molly/Vito story now, with a few extra pics, in one of which they do appear to be holding hands. I presume it's just eveyone being tactile, as welll as Molly ruthtessly adding to her tally of conquests from the show. But the thing that icks me is that it looks like someone in the party took those pics and sold them to the papers (unless there was a pap right outside the window).

Just had a chuckle to myself imagining Vicky Gill revealing Will's costume for next week.

"So we've taken inspiration from 90s Manchester and put Will in a sparkly parka."

ā€œTell us your name and where you come from

Iā€™m Willy Mellor from Mardchester and Iā€™m going to show me kids and all the others what you can do with a pair of maracas and a tambourineā€

Iā€™m wondering now if he asked to dance to Hush at some point rather than them picking it for his Charleston. If only heā€™d asked for Female of the Species šŸ˜©

Some tattlers love to think they're so important that an actual famous person would read the thread and interact with them. You say one positive thing about them and you get a string of "oh hi <celebrity>

Apparently I'm Lily Allen AND Laura Whitmore. How unfortunate.

I donā€™t like that either, and some folk donā€™t just limit it to to new members. But if a new account jumps in and automatically starts sticking up for the subject then there is a chance they are the person/connected to them because it has happened before - the Rebecca Meldrum threads have had multiple accounts set up by her husband and mum and itā€™s pretty obviously them, but now if a newcomer joins with a differing opinion, they are accused of being connected.

Some come on in their own name - Jack Monroe and Amanda Harrington are the two I know of who have done that. And they end up banned because theyā€™re being argumentative and disrupting the thread, which then allows them to go back to their minions and slag off Tattle in a ā€œI tried to stick up for myself and I was banned straight away!ā€

Itā€™s a more chilled vibe here because weā€™ve not been drawn here by one personā€™s influencing behaviour and we have a whole range of stuff - good and bad - to say.

Had read elsewhere recently that Helen and Gorka went into full fist bump when in that particular scenario, which was probably why Hamza and Jowita's reaction stood out to me, tbh.

Iā€™m not sure thatā€™s true because I remember watching Gemmaā€™s stories and Mia saying ā€œwhy are they not happy?ā€ When they found out they were through and Gemma explaining it meant the other couple were in the bottom two.

Iā€™ve got to say I didnā€™t find Kym Marsh half as awful as I thought Iā€™d find her. Iā€™ve never liked her but she came across quite wel on Strictly (shoot me now).

No, I liked Kym on Strictly. No one here has really said anything negative regarding her. I thought she was genuine and did some great dances. Her Charleston, Rhumba and AT are on my Top 10 list of fave dances this year.

I even enjoyed her Cha Cha and thought it caught the Fame vibe really well and she looked bloody great in that outfit.

I think she'd had a lot of negative press over the years just because she dared have more than one relationship in her life šŸ˜‘ pegged as a bit of a hard face. she always came across as pretty cool to me when I'd caught glimpses of her on chat shows and the like. I remember in the early stages she really rallied for Matt Goss and I instantly thought she must be the minder of the group.

Same as Fleur, people seem surprised with themselves to be taken with her but she seemed very kind and positive on I'm a celeb. I've met her once or twice briefly and she's a bit of a big softy it seems.

Ooh off for a swatch of Whitmores thread šŸ¤£

Sorry to stay OT but she's a sapšŸ˜† someone had said something ridiculously unfounded about her and I was like, well that's not true and I got "oh hello Laura" even though previously I'd discussed my personal experiences with her being extremely negative. They're dying for whitmore to infiltrate the thread over there šŸ˜†

I was not especially pleased was rumoured/announced - and lo & behold she became my favourite!

Shame sheā€™s gone; Iā€™d far rather have seen her in the final than (seemingly inevitably) Will šŸ™

Eurgh thatā€™s pretty invasive. I think they are all just a tactile bunch (and Vito is Italian) but if I was Molly going through all the ruddy dance offs a little bit of Vito would certainly cheer me up šŸ˜†

I'm a tactile person, often found to be holding hands with my friends leaving bars etc. I don't think we've papped through windows šŸ˜†they are desperate to pair her off.

He doesn't look enamoured anyway that's for sure

If youā€™re going to go on Strictly surely going on and coming out with people liking you and having changed their opinion for the better is more than you could have asked for. Stuff the glitterball :D

i think the measure of the group was when she said during her week with Covid, they were all taking rehearsal videos and sending them to her dad in Hospital. Random acts of kindness rule.

dw, i read your post again and completely missed the jokey tone of it so i apologise!

and the prima ballerina thing makes me think of that person on twitter who was convinced that maisie was a trained ballerina and shouldnā€™t be in the show based on one photo of her in a ballet class years ago. by that logic iā€™m a trained tap dancer!

i think a lot of the general public just donā€™t understand what stage school actually is, or that they think ā€œdoing musicalsā€ means youā€™re a world class jazz dancer. a gifted musician (like bill for example) has just as much, or even more, of an advantage as someone who went to the now infamous āœØstage schoolāœØ

the only real unfair advantage weā€™ve had is ashley roberts imo. who was incredible and one of the best contestants weā€™ve had, but she was never going to be any different.

I had ballet and tap lessons when I was under 10, then ballroom and Latin American after that. Trust me, none of that would make any difference now. I was useless then, and even more useless now. Could still do a quickstep to Chicago, Chicago that wonderful town, think that must have been the only record they had šŸ™„. If posters dontā€™t know what a record is, we slapped it on a record player and a tune came out, back in the olden days šŸ˜‚

The Hamza conspiracies are daft and often coded by the brigade who like to shout about wokeness.

THE MAN WAS GIVEN A DINOSAUR RUMBA.

A. Dinosaur. Rumba.

I don't see he's been overmarked any more than any of the others. He wasn't the first to get a 10, he's had plenty of critique and he's managed to come good against truly dodgy themes and music at times.

I think we have to be thankful that he wasnā€™t put in a furry costume with ears and whiskers, I was afraid to look. Still my favourite personality, though I donā€™t mind if he doesnā€™t win, there are better dancers.

I loved both of them, but Molly is better. How anyone can rave about Gorka , when Graziano is around beats me. And my hormones are a dim memory šŸ˜‚
