To lower the tone and go back to the most shaggable pro rating my two pence worth from being in unbelievably close proximity on the Blackpool audience. Needed to play that card one more time! Gorka’s derrière is indeed a thing of absolute beauty but I fully expected to be fawning over Vito. But no. The most beautiful, mesmerising man by a country mile was JoJo. He had that backless green sequinned outfit on and the definition of the man! So much presence. From the drag queens sat beside us to the grannies we were all smitten. And he smelt amazing!! Never seen someone have such an effect on people. And he knows it! Straight woman here the wrong side of 50!

I don't fancy any of them. Some / most of them are young enough to be my sons. 🤣

I adore JoJo though. I'm already planning to see him in a musical next year. He is a beautiful man, imo. And that voice! 😊
 
Did anyone watch that social experiment called The Trail on C4 where they re-enacted a case of a bloke killing his wife with a hammer, and the experiment juries had to decide on murder or manslaughter?

You legimately still had some of them asking, "... But I want to know what she said to him..."

Like duck off! What could anyone have possibly said that would warrant them getting their head smashed in with a hammer?

That show was wild and kind of scary. The main juror who influenced the manslaughter verdict and cheered as each juror voted that was the stepfather to a lad who beat his girlfriend to death.

All solved they were rehearsing an Argentine Tango... 🤦🏻‍♀️. Considering production give them the themes too it's not like they wouldn't know and if production came up with such a theme on a family light entertainment show then they'd be in a lot more hot water. The powers that be really do need looking into as well though. All new producers and Shirley and Anton out the door. Shirley shouldn't be getting away with talking to the press and looking so smug about it, if one of the pros did that they'd be benched or sacked.

There's at least one post, maybe more, on Digital Spy, that comes scarily close to that. Very much victim blaming.

The real case only resulted in a manslaughter conviction and he is back in the community now.
What was really scary about that programme was one particularly misogynistic prick who worked his way around the jurors convincing them to agree with him. His step son is in prison for murdering his girlfriend. You would think something like that happening in your life might make you reconsider your views.

You legimately still had some of them asking, "... hmm... but I want to know what she said to him."

Ugh, that reminds me of a jury I was on once. The judge basically threw out a domestic violence case because he decided she'd provoked him by changing her mind about marrying him but refusing to give him back the engagement ring. crappy behaviour, yeah, but the judge literally gave us a long speech about how assault with provocation was fine actually and dismissed most of the charges, despite the fucker literally confessing to throwing her down the stairs, throwing her against his car hard enough to dent it and choking her in his testimony. And there was a bleeping doctor who straight up bleeping lied on the stand about how one of her injuries could have been accidental too. There was a mark on her shoulderblade from being whipped with a USB cord that was plainly in the shape of a USB and was a red, raised welt. A doctor testified for the defence that it might have been a bruise from being pushed against a porch railing with a cutout design. But it didn't remotely resemble the shape of the mark at all, didn't remotely resemble a bruise and was well above head height so impossible for her shoulder to have ever ended up there. He lied because it got the guy off the most serious charge of assault with a weapon. I didn't dare say tit about it because I was only 20, but now I wish I could have reported him to someone. It makes my blood boil to think how that piece of tit has a license to practice medicine and just sat there perjuring himself and gaslighting everyone and everyone just accepted it because 'he must be right, he's a doctor.'

And unfortunately I have to admit, when it came out that there were hundreds of texts and emails between them showing that their relationship continued after, everyone including me thought it was just a waste of everyone's time for her to be pressing charges.

But the bleeping weirdest part of it, that I still can't get my head around, was that most of the older women on the jury kept talking about how she must have provoked him and wanting to know what she did/said, and the middle-aged to elderly men were the ones who kept countering that he shouldn't have hit her no matter what.

In my heart I agree, but I would also love to see the dickheads on Facebook try to defend him after something really concrete comes out.

It would still be her fault, somehow. She’d have driven him to it.

As the saying goes: the worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad. 🙄

He's not even denying the allegations, not threatening to sue the papers publishing them, but he'll try sue the BBC.... what a pathetic bleep.

He’s admitted that it happened, but denies any responsibility: you’ll note that he ‘regrets the events’ that lead to his departure from the show, rather than regretting ‘his actions’. And that he feels the BBC should have prevented these events from occurring as he was unable to do so himself 🙄

Zara was already vulnerable in terms of strength and size, for Graziano to use that against her is bad enough, but to further humiliate her by spitting makes me feel so f@ing angry 🤬
Spitting is just the most degrading, filthy disgusting act 🤢 I could not bare to be near anyone who did that to me, so it breaks my heart to think Zara, either brushed it off because she felt she had no other choice, or didn’t think that behaviour was unacceptable.

I’m seeing that too! Went to see his show earlier this year and he was fantastic. Outrageous costumes 🤣

"It was not until staff got hold of a video allegedly showing Di Prima repeatedly hitting Ms McDermott – nine months after their initial complaint – that he was fired."

Repeatedly hitting her 😥 it's so upsetting to think of her going through that and now being blamed by misogynistic arseholes.

“Got hold of a video” who had that then? Was it one of his videos on his phone, so he knew not to do it when a camera crew was present. Had no trouble managing his anger when other people were present
 
soccergirl said:
I will say that the spitting allegation seems to have disappeared from the stories, which now say ‘kicked and hit’. So it may have been an embellishment of the Mail’s.
I’m assuming Zara will do an interview with Mail or Sun soon if she’s followed their showbiz people.

No, it's still being reported as he spit at her also.

What a piece of tit.

Exactly. He knew it was wrong when he did it, only apologetic once he was caught. Like all abusers.
 
That made

I wonder how many scandals we are from the return of James Jordan.

That made me hoot with laughter but sadly may be the case!

JJ (and his wife) may not have got physical but seemed to do their share of psychological bullying.

Agree with poster who said Len could also be a nasty old coot.

Ah but at least JJ and Len were British and now the whole of Sicily (lovely country and people) is rotten.

I 💯 agree with Geetbo’s assessment of that both Gio and Amanda are “b”.

With Graziano I remember once in the Clauditorium Zara was talking about dances she liked and didn’t and he was mocking her in the background and doing that thing of including others in the joke and excluding her. I found it uncomfortable at the time.

If this is true (it's the Fail, so questionable), how laughable.

He's a grown man, he should be able to manage his own behaviour 😳🙄
