It's probably Artem, Brendan or James, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kevin. Despite enjoying his partnership with Susan Calman at the time, since then I've gotten manipulative, lovebombing creep vibes from him. And I don't mean to sound judgey but fuck it, to have 3 failed marriages there must be something wrong with you.

That absolutely puts Karen in the firing line then!

'Creepy sex pest version of Dogtanian' is brilliant.

The Mail have a story about a 'downcast' Govinni out and about. The best thing is his double-breasted blazer paired with 'hilarious' 'Lovely Jubbly GP' suitcase!

The media loves things like this. Fills up the Mail Online for weeks. However dragging out old stories, whilst showing a pattern of shitty behaviour, doesn’t help Amanda or Zara. We all saw with the MeToo movement that soon palates get jaded and the more names that are brought forward, the public then starts to say, oh what another one. People will no longer take the current issues seriously, they will just say, oh yawn, whatever. I fear Amanda and Zara’s grievances will be lost in the media’s quest to fill up their websites.
 
Sex pest Dogtanian had me spitting my coffee out (and also feeling very sorry for the original Dogtanian)!

Given some of the training methods that some pros use (I’ve heard of one female ex pro hitting pupils with hairbrushes if their posture slipped) I think it was probably a pressure cooker about to blow at some point, sadly….

BIB.
Thankyou. It's just what I thought when he first appeared.

Same with my Motsi description - drag queen member of a Boney M tribute band.

Firstly, I’m absolutely not defending JJ, as he is indeed an arse, but he is right that they used to edit the VTs in a very calculated way for entertainment purposes - there was one training VT where they spun it that the celeb had stormed out of training in a rage and slammed the door in anger, and then it turned out to be be something like they’d gone to the loo and the door had slammed accidentally.

James Martin says they tried to get him to act out a ‘showmance’ with Camilla, which he wasn’t keen to do, so they started editing ‘lingering looks’, etc., into their VTs.

As this was all pre-social media/camera phones, there was no alternative footage to be seen, so the BBC could spin things however they liked. 🤷‍♀️

I have to say the one thing that's surprised me the most personally is the naivety of the adult audience and fans and their genuine shock at the world of dance being brutal and that some professional dance teachers do abuse their power and often their students physically and mentally .

I agree totally with the Rev when he says it shouldn't come as a revelation to anyone that Srictly has a 'dark heart' didn't we all sadly sort of know it deep down .
