Strictly Come Dancing 2024 #11

Wasn't it the other way around? I thought it was reported that he had her in tears constantly, and the judges gave him very pointed critiques on that front.

Does Gilkinson pick the couples too? I thought he just choreographed the pro routines and awful showdances. If so, it's pretty inappropriate that he's behind Vito and Dianne's tour because he will financially gain from them both having good partners/ going far in the competition. Also is Giovanni definitely not coming back? They never made a statement like they did with Graz regarding his sacking and since his PR purposes girlfriend has been dumped, maybe the investigations over? I know it said he'd quit in the press but I was unsure of how true that was.

Gilko defo doesn't pick the couples, he just does the choreo (200 variations on West Side Story). And given that the show has had Anton judging his business partner Giovanni and Motsi judging her sister, it would barely register on conflicts of interest!

Amanda has talked to the Sun about FR, calling him 'abusive, cruel and mean”. Apparently there had been previous complaints about him, he made a crude sexual remark to her..

[Woolmercardington]

Phew! I was getting a bit worried we'd not had our daily Strictly accusation yet. Panic over.

If Amanda is talking to the press does that mean the BBC have finished their investigation into Gio?

Ah don’t worry for Anton, Shirl has come out in support of him!

I actually believe that Craig just rocks up on a Saturday night.

 

[Boogs]

Now listen, I bloody love the muppets but that dance was an absolute insult to their legacy. He was wearing A Bike Helmet.

She’s on her way to sort out Dianne.

 

[Redline]

I wonder how big the phone bills are for the tabloid reporters, who must be currently ringing every former celeb to try and get a line that sounds possibly like a disagrement so they can print another 5 pages.

 

[Tanley]

I was trying to make a mental list of female pros/celeb partners who notably didn’t get on. But then I realised there’s no point, after the revelations about Graz and Zara. It has shown that it could be any couple who have ever been on the show, including those that are ‘friends for life’ and keep in contact

Craig rocks up on a Saturday night, has a class of Sauv Blanc, looks at the live feed from Vito's dressing room his notes and reads a few texts from Bruno.

God, apparently Graziano screamed abuse at Zara till she hid in the toilets. I can't believe his image was so successful. I do worry about his wife

Graz sounds genuinely unhinged. That article is very grim reading.

Jesus, he really is a wolf in sheep's clothing, isn't he? Prick.

Off topic but a clip of Mark and Karen having to restart their salsa after the mic pack got tangled in her dress came up on my TikTok, it’s one of those iconic and classic OG Strictly moments but it really highlighted how great Brucey was at live TV, I would love to see Tess try to handle the same thing now

I regularly rewatch that (maybe once a year?) especially to show my son why I fell in love with the show. That's the sort of thing Brucie excelled at. I know he had his faults too, but he was genuinely brilliant at going with whatever was thrown at him. The other clip we watch often is when he did Gangnam Style

This is just awful. When I was at the recording last year, I genuinely thought he seemed like a really good guy. He was waving at everyone up in the balcony, he was playing with the dog they had for the pro dance... He just gave off really wholesome vibes. But it was all bullshit.

 

[Boogs]

What a prick.

 

[posy]

Gio said the same to Rose re dead grandma - think he said something along the lines of my grandma has more energy than you and she is dead - Rose just laughed him.

 

[Boogs]

I really hope his wife is seeing the reaction to his behaviour and realising that the way he behaves is not acceptable. I don’t think there is any way he doesn’t pull this kind of shit on her too.

 

[glasgow27]

The dead grandma comment feels like something a dance teacher would say. Rude but probably not worth losing sleep over.

The screaming and then following her down the hallway on the other hand...that's properly horrendous behaviour.

 

[Boogs]

I think the dead grandma comment said during a training session is one thing but saying it when she has been voted off the show and is upset? That’s not about joking around to get her to improve that’s about humiliation and rubbing salt in the wounds.

 

[Chita]

Aka a perfect partner for Neil.

His perfect partner is a mirror.
