Oh yes, the Gorka/Blackpool thing - I’d forgotten about that! I’d love to know what the truth of that was.

I’m choosing to bleach the Craig/Joe thing from my brain.

But I was meaning things that we never even get a sniff of or hear the slightest hint about. A couple of decades of an emotionally charged, high pressure environment featuring a rotating assortment of varied personalities - there must have been some major scandals that never made the light of day.

Apparently he broke up with his fiancé and she kicked his teeth out, all very strange she was seen running crying from the building and the next day he was with all the pros
 
Sounds like Gio triyng to do some damage control.

According to sources Giovanni has been venting his frustration to his friends, and worries the 'drama' will have a negative impact on his career. A source told The Daily Star: “This has really annoyed him. He’s barely heard from her for 10 days. She hasn’t been replying to messages or telling him what’s happening. He’s been complaining about it to friends. He’s frustrated."

The insider added: “He is worried the drama will be damaging for his career and make him look bad.”

I know nowt about dancing but this looks like it could have been one of the professional dances when someone's performing in the middle!

Oh also I unlocked a memory of going to a quiz with my grandma and her friends (🤣) and one of the rounds was guess the song just from the first lines or something...they had a guy and a girl singing, one of whom had been a strictly singer! They were both shite.

Didn't Craig say there have been loads of affairs that the public have never heard about?

I remember when Jay McGuiness was a guest on Jeremy Vine's show in 2019 - they both did Strictly in 2015 - and it was the year Joe and Dianne had got together. There were supposedly grumblings that they were snogging too much on the tour, etc, just something daft. Jay commented along the lines saying, it was a new relationship and so what, etc, then said the year he did it, "Everyone was at it!"

Yes, you had Gio and Georgia that year, but you also had Ainsley Harriot and Daniel O'Donnell 😆

But I remember thinking, it was bit of a provocative thing to say.

I feel like maybe I live a quite sheltered life & sleeping around goes on more than I imagine! They were certainly a few of them at it in 2018 - 3 finalists ended up with pros and to be fair, 2 are still together 5 years later. Stacey blatantly cheated on her boyfriend, def emotionally but I’d take a punt at physically too! But 2015.. who?!

Tbh I always thought there was a fling between Jay and Aliona. He definitely seemed smitten. And then she went off and married her millionaire husband.


They were on ITT Tuesday, and there was training footage of them shown on Wednesday's show. So at most she went AWOL Thursday...

Tuesday is filmed on monday and the footage could have been filmed then as well. Still not 10 days though.

Wasn't she already married to him? I may be wrong. Didn't get those vibes from her towards Jay, though. I remember her saying on ITT that her and her husband/partner had driven to Blackpool with Jay in the back, and they'd put a film on for him. Like he was their child 😄

I got a sort of 'affectionate older sister' vibe from her towards him rather than anything romantic.

Re partners staying friends, Aliona still plays golf with Tony Jacklin, I seem to remember!

That made me laugh too! They were very keen to put out that all three were great friends.
The only reason I wondered about those two is because they immediately distanced themselves afterwards, I know Aliona moved to Florida and had her daughter but it doesn't appear like they kept in touch at all.
 
Unless you were with Kevin or Brendan I can completely understand an infatuation - mild or serious. All that attention and physical proximity, made to feel so important, then the bond of going through the live challenge. I imagine your head can be turned by the whole situation as much as by your partner tbh. Must seem like an amazing bubble.
