Another favourite from last series - Sara declaring how much she loves her fantastically supportive husband, then cut to ...her whipping a bondage-clad Aljaz
And then being eliminated on it with a face like a smacked bum.
Oh I don't know. Mad though the Rio theories are, at least they are based on interactions between two people occasionally in close physical proximity with each other months after Strictly ended whereas, as far as I can see, AJ and Kai have barely even been in the same county at the same time since Strictly and their whole relationship has been judged on SM interactions! I think the Rio shipping is going to have to ramp up the psychotic fantasy level quite a bit to hit the levels of delusion seen in KJ's thread.
...I really don't think so. Lots of gay guys act like that with their friends. I really doubt it means anything.Picture of Johannes and John after the BAFTA's last night; imagine if this was a female/male partnership and what attention/backlash they would get from this picture when one half of them is in a relationship??
Top comment in the DM sums it up for me:

It's not really comparable to a male/female relationship, because society has much more deeply engrained ideas about what is appropriate vs inappropriate in a male/female platonic relationship. So many people consider it disrespectful to spend any one on one time with anyone of the opposite sex if you're in a relationship - look at the way people went nuts about Rose and Gio going out to dinner for her birthday until it was revealed that her boyfriend was there too. Hell, lots of people even still have the attitude that men and women can't be friends at all. And in straight relationships it's uncommon to remain friends with an ex (just google 'is it ok to invite my ex to my wedding?' and see most of the responses are emphatically negative.) That's not really a thing for gays, and especially lesbians, unless it's a bad breakup, because the circle's just too small, you'd run out of friends that can hang out together if everyone wanted to avoid their exes.
lol, I had to laugh when he had his arm around her walking up to the stage. It looked more like he was helping an old lady across the road than a romantic embrace, but of course it's got the shippers going mad.
whenever i see this picture i can just imagine tess standing just out of shot saying "aah look at his little face."
Yeah, fair enough. Unfortunately that's the ridiculous standard society has set for itself. That attitude's probably starting to get less common, though, at least.
No of course and most likely been publicity back then too, I’m not criticising them just can’t understand why any paps would be following them to StarbucksJoe and Dianne were constantly papped on the strictly tour after it was confirmed they were together. It’s been almost 4 years now, people don’t really care about them let’s be honest. I don’t know why people act like the strictly pros being papped is a new thing when it’s been happening for years yet no one said anything about it until it was Kai and Nadiya
any publicity is good publicity but just own it!That’s a fair point, I guess the DS drama will have driven some attention too
I wonder if for Strictly this last couple of years with the whole bubbling thing has meant the partnerships have been more intense? It’s definitely seemed very worthy.
