Meanwhile Gorka is away working in London as he has been doing for the last few weeks. I assume he will be angrily asked to put his daughter first?

The Mail has something on Rose and her boyfriend 'growing apart' - and of course it's the 'curse' again! More attention to that than to her speech...

Rose Ayling-Ellis 'grows apart from long-term boyfriend Sam Arnold'

The EastEnders actress, 27, has been with her partner for seven years, with him cheering her on as she lifted the glitterball trophy with partner Giovanni Pernice last year.

Quite a few of the comments on that piece saying Rose and her boyfriend split up 6 months ago

I don’t really understand what it is Rose wants. All the soaps and tv programmes promote inclusivity these day, to have every single disability or equality issue represented in the script room/filming/ casting procedures is not possible.
Not saying she has to be thankful for a job although she should be like the rest of us, if she wants treated equally and normally. People love to moan for the sake of moaning.

I think we feel a bit differently on this, which is fine, but my understanding would be how I find things for my autistic child at school- he can attend a mainstream school but needs some adjustments and extra supports in order to access mainstream education in the same way my neurotypical daughter can, as the school is set up for NT kids. These adjustments (in theory) allow him to have the same chance of achieving as his sister and peers- so equality isn’t being treated the same, it’s having the same access/opportunity.

Anyway, I’ll stop banging on as this as it’s a bit OT, it’s just a bit of a pet area for me for obvious reasons!
 
I think Gemma is a great mum. I don't love the gym obsession and I'm not 100% it's healthy, but generally she's very switched on and what's nice is that she's honest. Having kids does stop you from doing what you want to do and yes, at times it does piss you off because you don't stop being a human when you become a parent.

That said, letting your kid lick a lolly the dog has slobbered on is minging and that's the thing I'd be criticising about her parenting.

The only thing I find slightly off is the gym obsession. Gemma has stated multiple times that she wants Mia to be aware of the gym and the equipment etc from a young age which seemed a little odd to me, but then again she probably just wants her to grow up having a healthy relationship with exercise which is a good thing. Apart from that I think she comes across as a great mum … she’s honest, down to earth and a lot more relatable than other mums on social media imo. Mia seems like a happy little girl and is a character so they must be doing something right 🤷🏻‍♀️

The gym obsession is off and imho I don’t think Mia needs introducing to the gym equipment at her age(a bit older and if she shows an interests same goes for dance) and I found those “let’s pretend” gym toys (the dumbbells etc) a bit weird and unnecessary but that’s just me.
She’s a happy little kid and that’s all that’s important.
 
So many people online love to share their kids whole lives for strangers to see. Deeply concerning IMO. Attention seeking adults that really need to grow up and get a job.

That will be the Rose & Gio shippers i’m sure 😂 Had a look at a few AT’s earlier and the latest on AJ & Kai is that apparently the people on the thread can’t possibly even imagine how AJ & Kai are feeling about what’s coming up in the next few weeks … they were referring to the hitlist episode that is due to air 😭 “It will remind the public of them” yeah for all of 4 days before the new cast of celebs completely take over and she’s long forgotten…
 
Most of the time I think she seems like a great parent, but don't like the gym obsession either, the way she goes on if she misses one workout you'd think it was a month, and all of the toy gym equipment and play working out seems like a great way to give your kid a body image disorder... but well I hope I'm wrong and it all works out fine.

I didn't like her letting her share the ice cream with the dog either. She seems very rigid and stubborn in some beliefs, like clinging to the myth that dogs' mouths are cleaner than humans'. Yes, she's right that children have to encounter some germs for their immune systems to develop properly but that doesn't mean you let them lick what the dog's licked ffs! 🤦‍♀️

She really pissed me off a few weeks ago with her whinging that Gorka wouldn't let her have a big scary dog, and pit bulls are just misunderstood. Thank god at least he's sensible enough to put his foot down there. Pitbulls are not safe to have around children or other pets, no matter how well they've been treated and trained and that's that, no argument to be made. There are countless documented cases of pitbull attacks that were not provoked by the victim and tons of scientific proof that pitbulls are much more likely to attack than any other breed (gee, I wonder why a dog bred solely for the purpose of killing would want to kill things, it's a mystery :rolleyes:) but it seems she's already made up her mind and won't budge. It's not malicious bad parenting, just stupidity, but it makes me shudder to think she'd let Mia play with a pitbull.
 
What happened to Gorka’s dog? Was it called Ghost? I don’t think I’ve seen it since he started living with Gemma and her two

From what I remember, Gemma said he re-rehomed it with his friends in London as he realised he would be away with work too much. This was years ago though, before he moved up north

Looks like the pros are doing some more studio recordings without an audience today. Tbh, I don't mind the lack of audience for those pre-recorded dances as they can be more creative with the studio space (like with the afro-latina routine they did a couple of year ago)

Am I the only one who sees no problem with the toy gym equipment? It wasn’t even Gemma that bought it. It was a present from their friend.
I just think it’s a nice way to get Mia involved in something Gemma loves

I've got no problem with it - think it's quite cute she's interested in what her mum was doing and wants to join in. In the grand scheme of unhealthy habits kids pick up from parents, I think this comes quite far down on the list if there at all.

And in my experience, when kids get to a certain age, they go out of their way to do the exact opposite of what their parents do anyway 😆

I think people are just naturally wary that sometimes something a parent loves can easily become something that's forced on a child, and that exercise and diet is something that can easily become all about being thin/attractive and not about being healthy. Obviously I hope that doesn't become an issue for them, and of course there are worse examples to set for your child, but it just makes me feel slightly uncomfortable, but not to the extent that I'd say they're horrible parents or anything like that.
 
I think it’s obvious Gemma trains in order to be healthy and not skinny; she’s super fit. Pretty much any habit has the potential to become unhealthy but you could say the same about letting your kids eat sweeties or McDonald’s. I’d be more concerned if she was obsessive about food and restricting what Mia was eating etc but she’s clearly not. I’d rather a kid was playing with toy fitness equipment than a tablet or games console for example.

I don't have a problem with it. When my son was small he liked to "help" me with vacuuming and also had a toy iron he liked to use. These days he wouldn't be seen dead using either of them :LOL:

I'm currently watching my two niblings play with a Little Tykes washing machine. They have done 4 loads of doll clothes, pretend tumble dried them too and then pretend ironed them.

I asked.if they would like to help me pair up the socks and fold the towels from an actual washing and you would have thought I was after them with a red hot poker. They were Shocked and Appalled at me! Children are contrary wee beggars!
