If Vito and Gio are both back on strictly and not giving family vibes - what will the powers that be do? Or is this sign that Gio isn’t coming back to Strictly and Vito thought - thank f&@k I no longer have to follow that FR on insta.

I think a lot is being made of nothing here tbh.

They will be civil, it's their job. But in the real world nobody gives a flying fannyrat who follows who.

Better to be "over-protective" then to do something as risky and quite frankly stupid as putting a 6/7 month old on your lap while being driven in a car.

Knew I’d saved this back in 2022, basically because I had the same reaction as the baby one today. That was on a motorway journey too. As I said, why do the pros all seem to do this?
Back in my childhood seatbelts weren’t generally available in backseats but my mum would always strap us in, even when no one else did. My parents lives were saved in a horrendous crash back then , by the fact they were wearing them. It’s a big big bug bear of mine.

Aw Nikita has posted some nice BTS pics including this cute one of Ellie and Vito. More EllBob distraction?

This picture reminds me a lot of the one in Blackpool where they were in rehearsals and he's standing there grinning at her.

In regards to kids and car seat/seat belts I wish the punishment for this would be to look at photos and videos of kids thrown from cars to see the absolute horrific injuries even a slow expulsion can have on a child's body and the stories of them killing passengers in the front seats because they hit them at speed. Hopefully then then if they continue to want to risk their lives they might at least care a little more about their kids.
I can understand some countries aren't as strict on such matters but many of them have lived in the UK a long time their is no excuse.

I actually thought Nadiya would have had more sense then to let her daughter go round without a seatbelt on. It's just so dangerous to even consider not putting one on. It looks like she's on a booster seat but there's no real point in using one if she's not going to put a belt on, if the driver had to jam on the brakes I can picture the poor thing going flying.

It’s like they are living back in the 80’s. They’ll be leaving her in the pub car park with a bottle of Coke and a packet of crisps soon.
 
It’s always “it will never happen to me” until it actually does. Such stupid behavior, it’s bad enough when adults don’t care about proper car safety but to not make sure your child is properly strapped in etc is even worse and so dangerous. I love Aljaz and Nadiya and they both seem like great parents but need to be more aware.

I will say though I do find it a bit odd that there’s grown adults on here who have pictures of other peoples kids available on deck to post like that 🤣

That’s cracked me up. In the 80’s I used to sit in a seat which was basically in the boot of the car with no seatbelts and we spent a lot of time in the pubs drinking pop & eating crisps. I do not condone the seatbelt thing now but back in the day most cars didn’t even have them 😂

In the 70’s on long trips, we used to go in an estate car and go ‘to bed’ in a sleeping bag in the estate boot bit.

Ahhh the 80s! I remember travelling down motorways in the back of a transit van to go raving. I never gave any thought to it being dangerous, but then I grew up getting lifts from chapel on a trailer with a hay bale as a seat 😂

Lol, I had to do a lot of digging - I sent it to a mate at the time pointing out the stupidity so had to go back through that whatsapp timeline to retrieve it 😂
