Louisa and Vincent … A jive on about 9 hours and a day and bit of training (the couples were split over the first 2 weeks for their first dance so while it was week 3 it was actually only their second dance, so technically the earliest 10

Thanks!! Every time I watch it I just think look at those feet!!! I don't think there has been a male celeb since who has been that good at the jive

Maybe? Probably he doesn't want to be doing a press launch when he knows he'll get lots of questions about AA. Or maybe Health and Safety have got involved and confiscated some particularly dodgy batches of Gio Coming Soon ..

I wasn’t watching the show back then, it’s very interesting to see how much has changed.

Wow! That was gaw-jus dawwwling.
And I don't want to sound like Tess
but she was only 17 when she did Strictly. Wow again 
GP Vita sounds like some ‘concierge doctor’ service that I’d read about in my parents’ Sunday Times when they interview the incredibly glamorous founder who created it with nothing but a dream of bespoke medical services and the financial backing of her Bahraini oil billionaire father.

God, I’d forgotten how small the dance floor used to be

Yeah, its been a tough situation for them right at the start of their relationship. I've wondered how it must feel for both of them that he must still be adjusting to his new physical situation and she's there onstage being very physical dancing. I'd probably feel some guilt if I was her (not that she should, I just think it would be natural to feel it). I've noticed Gio is all over her kissing and touching her which I think is just how some of the dancers are but it might be hard to take for both of them. Clearly everyone is aware of the "curse".
I've actually got a lot of respect for her decision if it is to do with her relationship. If she knows that Strictly is just a bubble and she feels it more important to focus on her real life and her primary relationships thats a really healthy thing to do and a brave thing to do in a judgmental world. If she has been carried away with her feelings or tempted, IMO there's always a choice to step away from that temptation. Might not be a popular view but I respect her prioritising herself and her personal life, for whatever reason. Everyone should be allowed to do that without judgement or explanation.

I haven't watched this clip yet, but the image is just making me feel claustrophobic. They are basically sat on each others laps!

And yet Giovanni did a post for her yesterday? So is it one sided or his he just doing protocol

Says it all really. What is not said is more pertinent that was is.
Gio is probably in despair that his babe-magnet scent is not being released to the gagging swathes of his

Loved that jive!
Perhaps we should have a thread about best first dances? This one is up there for me ( apparently the second highest scoring first dance of all time) , and a completely untrained dancer.

What does she say?
I would imagine that Gio did was what contractually expected (if it was actually him and not one of his PR minions he had hypnotised with Coming A Bit Later Than Expected).

Her not mentioning Gio is very telling! I agree with others saying that Jonathan couldn't take seeing her like that.

Yes there could be something in this.
Sophie Ellis Bextor has said how Strictly affected her marriage. Her husband sulked massively, obsessively questioned her when she got home and would text her constantly and if she didn't reply immediately would 'spiral'. In the end he had to have counselling.
And she was with BRENDAN
Very oddly worded, does make me think that the partner is the most likely cause.

Definitely not an injury then- I agree that it is likely causing issues in her relationship and she has chosen to prioritise that - fair play to her.
