I think you imagined it, lol. I've just watched and they both have their hands on their own knees. 🤷‍♀️

Edit: Layton had his hand on Nikita's knee for a second at that time though... but if you've mistaken Layton and Nikita for Vito and Nigel, I'd suggest maybe

That settles it then. I wasn't wearing my specs to be fair!

Shame, that might have kicked off a few more fanfictions 😂
 
There is No way on earth Bobby is better than Layton or Ellie IMO. I don't rate him at all but I too will riot should he be saved over either of them (and probably Nigel too)
He definitely isn't. I confess I rarely watch him but he definitely isn't better than them. I don't rate him at all. But it's a bit like the Emperors New Clothes or something. I think it was Motsi last week on ITT who was praising him and she and Janette were all aww bless, isn't he wonderful. And the panel last Friday, likewise. It's almost like they are brainwashed into saying it. Are we to believe that the judges don't notice his posture, with his bum stuck out, for starters. 🥴

I won't be impressed if he knocks out a better competitor. I'm not even going to mention the word f-n-l in relation to him. No way!

That is a shame

Sometimes my brain has a blue screen of death moment when I remember that Ariadne's blog cursed us with the knowledge that this fic exists.

Why couldn't we have a Nigel/Vito one instead? 😂 😂 😂
 
There was a comment upthread about Bobby knocking out Layton in a dance off if it was a ballroom dance - are we forgetting Layton got 36 for his quickstep?! None of Bobby's ballroom has scored that high and tbh it's unlikely to given the height difference problem.
If they all get to the semi final, it’s 2 dance week and they generally do the higher scoring dance for the dance off. I think Layton could have one dance, at least, that would score higher than Bobby.
(although the timing and theme of Bobby’s CC is crucial, I think).

OMFG. I remember looking at the Strictly tab on AO3 once and being so shocked by the number of Anton fanfics that I could go no further.

Originally I thought a couples choice dedicated to his mum would win it for Bobby, but the more time goes on i’m not so sure. If he was a strong contender then maybe, but like others have said he hasn’t scored much higher than 30 and is yet to have a stand out dance. I do think a dance dedicated to Jade would get him votes for that week, but overall I don’t think it will make much of a contribution to him winning. He went from favourite to win to third in the space of a week, and I feel like if he doesn’t have a real stand out dance soon then he has no chance.

I ran when I saw a distressing amount of Kevin/Pasha! 😂

lmao, I've just searched Ao3 and Wattpad and there doesn't seem to be a single Nigel Harman RPF fic at all! 😂

There's more of Gemma and someone she worked on Emmerdale with!

Funny the kind of random weirdass pairings that crop up while there's zilch for something that seems to make more sense.

Edit: I don't know what to do with the knowledge that there's 21 Shirley/Original Female Character fics...

Considering Bobby apparently can't cope with sentences, I doubt he'll be able to cope with 2 dances. I think that's what's going to do him in. Honestly, I think once the producers get his dance to Jade out of the way they won't really care when he gets voted out. That dance will happen in the next few weeks I'd say.
 
I’ve no idea how to post insta stories on here but Layton & Nikita. I love them. Their friendship seems so genuine and so refreshingly not weird! (cc. Tom, Amy, Sara 👀)

You know when you said refreshingly not weird, I wasn't expecting a side by side nap and a tickle fight 😂





But I suppose it's not at Tom and Amy and Sara and Aljaz moving in together levels yet!



Though apparently Layton's stolen Nikita's girlfriend... that might actually upstage Aljaz tucking in Sara's kids! 😂 😂 😂
 
Annabel’s dance was heartfelt and beautiful, and her husband only died six months ago.
Bobby has said himself that he barely remembers his mum, as he was so young when he lost her. I think he is much more likely to dedicate a CC to his dad and/or brother.
 
Can Bobby really do a dance dedicated to his mum after us having Annabel's? He doesn't seem to have the emotional maturity for it either. Christ knows.
He's very immature both emotionally and mentally imo. Even if he wasn't though, he was 6 I think when Jade died, how much does he actually remember her or even know about her. I don't mean to sound like a witch but it's the truth. My cousin was 4 when my uncle died and she wouldn't have a lot of memories of him, most of what she knows about him is from other people because she was just too young. His CC is always going to be different from Annabel's because she had built a life and a family with her husband but Bobby unfortuantely just didn't have the chance to build memories like that with Jade.
