How do they even find out their addresses? I've never been that big of a fan of someone that I'd go to the bother of looking up their address. Notice how when these stories come out though it always seems to be about the female pros? I don't think I've ever heard of the male pros have something like this happen.

I should add that being a big fan of someone would make me want to respect their privacy even more.
Absolutely. I can understand sending cards to the studio for good luck, but turning up to their home is scary. Didn’t n show some birthday gifts on her story the other week? Presume that was to the studio though?
I thought paps doorstepping gio when Jowita stayed over was a gross invasion of privacy , so the press can’t talk to be honest.

I think the picture she took was in her house but since she was in the studio she definitely could have taken them home and then taken the picture. Given the fact someone actually showed up at her house though I wouldn't be surprised if the presents were dropped off there.

100% agree about the press.

Fans have always been bonkers. I remember people staking out the Bay City Rollers houses and I think even the Beatles had people camping on the front wall … but these days with social media I think people need to be very careful about what they post about their homes. Some celebs post so much fans can know the layout of their houses better than their own.

Matt from Bros did a post about how his fans used to camp outside his family home all the time. It’s just unacceptable now, especially where a woman is living alone with a child and her mother.
 
Oh dear god. I have to wonder if these fans are some of the real crazies from DS - that Nadiya fan in particular made me uncomfortable. I appreciate many of the pros and their work but they are people and 100% deserve their space and privacy.
Some of these ‘fans’ genuinely think they are friends or have a personal relationship with the pros, they don’t. They turn up at every opportunity at tours, wait outside hotels, send gifts to Elstree etc it’s creepy. I also think because they seem to be young girls they get a free pass whereas if it was older men for example they’d be calling security.

And while none of it is their fault I do think the pros/Strictly producers need to come down hard on this or it will just continue to escalate.
 
God between the crazed Nadiya fan and the crazed Kai fan they must have a lot to talk about over dinner..

The threats to Jowita were horrible but unsurprising - the way his fans were openly talking tit about her on FB was so gross.

this story is a bit nuts - Nadiya liking a post where a fan accused bosses of “treating her like bleep'":eek:

Thing is, these are the ones who buy the best tickets at their tours , and multiple times, so it’s a tricky one to navigate.

I kind of get camping outside The Beatles homes (still think it's wrong) though, they were huge! These are just dancers from a Saturday night entertainment show (no disrespect to the pros, I think they're great) that aren't even supposed to be the biggest part of the show. When it comes to the tours it's like some of them feel some type of entitlement to meet them before and after the show. I've seen some complain and be upset on twitter that such and such a pro didn't come out after the show. It's a bit weird to me.

I think they have to accept that some fans get super fixated (always have, always will) and treat all fans as if that were the case and keep a distance. Social media gives the fans a false perspective on the relationship, paying to have a meet and greet does not make you a mate, it makes you a customer but the lines are so blurred and When the boundaries aren’t clearly defined its no wonder some of the more invested step over them.
 
its whole premise is wrong though isn‘t it? She has been benched before. On the truncated Covid year, Luba got tall Jason Bell and Nadiya sat out
yes exactly, and I don’t like the narrative that it’s Nadiya vs Luba. Luba is absolutely deserving of that place. Height doesn’t even come into it as the only tall guy has gone to Dianne
 
Thing is, it never even had to be an either or when it came to Nadiya and Luba this year. There was room for both of them. Luba didn't even get the tallest male, Dianne did. I think it came down to wanting to give two of the dancers on the bench a partner and for some reason they thought Nadiya would be the easiest one to drop.
 
I actually think the pairings are great. Nikita and Layton are a great pair. Although Kai is clearly the designated heir to Anton

I agree about the pairings. I also said the same thing when I saw who Kai was partnered with. It had been niggling in my mind of late, for some reason, even before the pairings were revealed.

and Kai is too young and too good to be ‘Anton mark 2’. I know not everyone agrees with me, but I’ve seen him dance a lot live and he’s far too young and talented to be constrained and heldback by the oldest female contestants. I’d hate to think he’s being stopped having the hot females because it might endanger his real life partnership. Aljaz coped with beautiful Abby etc!

Completely agree. Am a huge fan of his and think he is one of the nicest pros, as well as being very talented.
 
So one of the FB groups is in meltdown as someone posted a pic of Gio putting a cigarette (presumably unlit) in his baby nephew’s mouth :oops:.
A lot of screaming that his privacy had been violated, even though his sister had posted the pic! Many Sandras flouncing off as they couldn’t believe it - tbh from him it is gross, but unsurprising
