Why this could be the final curtain for Strictly Come Dancing

Exactly this time last year, Strictly bosses pulled off one of their greatest coups - signing the original high-kicking, splits-performing ballroom queen Angela Rippon.

It doesn’t say anything that we don’t already know really. But does mention they wanted to sign up Dr Michael Mosely this year.
 
This is a really good example of a handsome and charming man being much darker in private to kick, spit and verbally abuse someone isn't taking training too far that's abuse. There are a lot of women trapped in relationships with men like this who are too scared to leave because no one would ever believe the truth about their 'human Labradors' the life and soul of every friendship group.

This is so true. I won’t date anymore, I’m terrified of male violence against women and absolutely tired of it in our society. 😡

It's bleeping ridiculous that Zara's being hit with the 'she just didn't want to work hard' claim. Both her and Amanda obviously worked hard and were determined to do their best during the show.

I agree. And even if she didn’t want to work hard then that doesn’t mean Graz had the right to kick, hit and spit at her ffs. I do not get why people take up for these absuive men 😡

There is no good victim.
Amanda (well-known actress) = middle-aged, neurotic/menopausal/loon, clearly fancied him.
Ranvir (respected newsreader) = pathetic middle-aged woman, fancied him, scorned.
Laura = annoying, who does she think she is, bitter.
Richie = annoying, airhead, gay/clearly fancied him.
Zara = too attractive, slag/asking for it, airhead/fake, manipulative.

If even Annabel or Angela R came out with allegations you can bet they'd join that group too.

Yeah, Kym is much older and has been in showbiz a long time. Judi seems very strong. Zara is young and making a name for herself, also dismissed (unfairly) as an airhead.

This is possibly where Giovanni fucked up. Debbie McGee trained with the Iranian ballet; it’s a brave man who fucks with her. Rose has had to work extra hard at her career (and in life more generally) because of her hearing impairment. Michelle V was forged in the New York gay scene. Faye T has been in the business for years.

Laura, Richie, Ranvir & Georgia were possibly less ‘tough’ in terms of their personalities/career experience. Many people have said that they thought Amanda seems ‘fragile’; perhaps Gio thought so too, and realised too late that she was a lot tougher than he’d estimated.

I think it must be a type of denial. It's easier to blame the accusers of being liars so as not to admit that the 'lovely man' who they're a big fan of - who've they've spent £££ on to see on tours, meet & greets, dance classes, etc - is actually a nasty piece of work. They don't want to admit they've been fooled.

This breaking story, I've honestly found really disturbing today 😔

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was an element of coercive control to all of this- it would explain why Zara didn’t raise it herself and why she continued to be in contact with him following the show. Really sad all round. Strictly has always felt like such a wholesome family show (extra curricular affairs notwithstanding 🤣) and the idea of a contestant being kicked, hit and spat at by her partner has really darkened it for me. Horrible.

Yes easy to think it could be something like 'but you want us to do well, if you practiced more I wouldn't have to be so hard etc'
 
How will they produce a show this year?
Everything will be 'eyes on' and anything could easily be misconstrued therefore both pro's and celebs will be aware that everything they do or say is going to be analysed and the media will report any little thing just for the readership
I think today, especially after the last few months, has been badly handled as it seems both Graz and Zara especially have been press fodder.

The interpreter wasn't always there. Sometimes Rose just used her hearing aids. I remember a big kerfuffle when the batteries went flat. He still called her a 'stupid cow'..

Plus she also said that when he was being a twit she either turned her hearing aid off or turned away so she didn’t have to lip read. Which probably threw him off as, short of grabbing her and forcing her to turn around, what else could he do?
