Katie Hind broke the story. She was the journalist who broke the Schofield scandal

Zaras latest Instagram follows are interesting.
1 Katie Hind who broke the story and is showbiz lead for DM
2 The Sun's showbiz journalist
3 Laura Whitmore who's mentioned as one of the women involved in the Gio lawsuit

Makes me think the headlines are basically confirmed by her

I keep thinking of that little girl who worships Graz, Katy, and hoping she’s okay. I wouldn’t like to be her mum trying to explain any of this.

Her Mum has just posted this on Juliet’s group. Who the duck would send a 7 year old abuse over this? Social media should be banned for fucks sake 😡

The thing is the news cycle moves on and I think the vast majority of viewers will take it all at face value, see it that Graz did wrong and has been sacked and that’s that. I’m not sure your average viewer would think too deeply about what this must mean about the culture and behind the scenes. In all fairness to them, if I wasn’t a tattler and therefore on this thread and exposed to so many varied, valid and intelligent views and commentary on it, I may not have thought more about it in the way that I have. The BBC will be counting on people getting blinded by the glitz and excitement and hopefully a big name or two which realistically, they probably will be.

I texted my sister yesterday about the Graz news. She watches and really enjoys the show every week, and then basically doesn't think about it till the following year. Her reply: 'Never liked him anyway. And Aljaz is back 😀 :love:'

So I think that IF nothing else awful comes out, and they sign up some good names, and the show makes noises about lessons learned people will move on. (I'm resigned to the Gio stuff not being properly resolved). And England winning the Euros will help.
Of course if we find out that Jowita took a dump in Jody's prosthetic, or Johannes was waterboarding Annabel then it will be harder.

Yeah my mum was the same when I discussed it with her yesterday, she was vocal in her shock and disgust at his actions and “good riddance” to him, but she looked at me like I had two heads when I said I wondered what it would mean for the show going forward.

100%, Giovanni was already becoming old news - give it a couple of weeks and this will be the same.

The anti-BBC media will be ones continuing to hype this all up once they start announcing celebs and when the show starts, which isn't fair on the rest of the pros or anyone else on the show (as far as we know!) but I think generally viewers won't care that much.

Giving Eddie a 10 in Week 3 was such a joke last year. She hasn't a clue how to judge Couples' Choice.

An absolute joke.

It was at least partly down to the fact that she had been far too harsh with him the previous week, imo. She criticised him for something that was totally down to what Karen had taught him. Can't remember the details, but it was a bit like say, you always do that step on your toes, whereas you had your heels on the floor throughout. So, in other words Karen had taught him the way to do something, and now he was being criticised for what he had been taught, by the pro.

And she was far too cutting to him, about it, got a negative reaction from the audience and so the following week, threw a 10 at him. He didn't deserve a 10, he knew it and Karen knew it. It was ridiculous.

I'm sorry but what 7 year old is on social media? I really mean it, how was she allowed to know about the Graz situation.

It's a weird situation all around why on earth would you encourage a 7 year old to have a para-soical relationship with a man who is a stranger to your family? Why is she on SM? Hopefully her mum just badly worded it and she's just upset about the sacking.
