The joke wasn’t even funny the first time he used it. Any excuse to feed his ego and show everyone he has a full house.

It’s exactly the same spiel he used on the last two tours, he’s just chosen to video instead of taking a photo this time. He says to the audience it’s to show the other pros what a sell out show looks like.
 
It's laughable really Gio's venues are mostly around the 600 capacity. At the moment the Pros are performing in arenas, Sheffield where they will dance at tomorrow has a capacity of 15,600 and on the Pro tour they will dance in venues between 2000 - 3000.
No wonder he has to tour for so long! I can't see him making that much more money than the other Pros especially when he has to work 3x as hard.

If you think of the high ticket prices, the vip meet and greets and the merc, plus all the dance classes him and Pasquale are doing , I think he’s doing extremely well really. I expect the strictly pros get a flat fee for doing the tours.

I know in times past it was said the Strictly live tour paid very well, I don't think it was ever confirmed but it was said to be close if not over their Strictly fee.

From the ticket prices Gio's tour will have to generate enough revenue to pay the venue, all the backstage staff and the other dancers all while selling out theatres with 600 seat capacity, I don't believe he's making much at all off ticket prices. I'm sure the meet and greets are where he makes decent money.

Let's remember that these tours are produced for them by the Strictly theatre company, they aren't the brainchild of the dancer no matter what they claim so that also limits the £££.

Neil has a vlog from opening night. You can see Ellie looking v nervous and Layton wearing Neil's Alan wig. He also says the bum-sniffing routine got cut due to time. (feel bad for Carlos losing a lead role).

With all the run throughs and checks they did beforehand you would have thought they would have the timing sorted before the tour starts. I feel bad for Carlos.

For those who were worried about Ellie, you can relax! Vito has posted on Insta this morning, she looks very happy out and about in Sheffield with him 🥰

Yes, they look cute.

Ellie is clearly not worried about the Bobby narrative. Though the headline 'Bobby Brazier struggles to contain his modesty' gives me the big ick.

I feel like I should ask why is he only wearing a dressing gown and flip-flops?
The weather is awful at the moment, there's a huge difference between his and ellies clothes choices.
He either wanted to save time and get ready for bed or running late for the bus no time to put clothes on 🤷‍♀️
 
I reckon Ellie will be aware that any publicity (to an extent) is good in terms of keeping her in the public eye for her career - so the Bobby stuff is maybe welcomed. Only actors like say Jodie Comer or Paul Mescal don’t need extra publicity to establish themselves in the acting world.

I think they were all sleeping on the bus so presumably he just didn't get dressed and ran into the hotel like that. Ellie is a practical Northern girl :)

Ellie is going to be part of this - a bit low-rent. I hope she gets some decent offers soon
