That’s the thing with Katya, she might be one of the longer serving pros now but she is still one of the most creative by a mile. I think her and Nikita are the most creative exciting choreographers and I always look forward to seeing their creations.

Katya is in an absolute league of her own in terms of choreography, and I really hope she doesn’t leave. I think Nikita, Carlos, Lauren, Jowita and Vito have all been excellent additions in recent years so would like to see them all progress more

Turns out Ellie got two tattoos yesterday - the aubergine/bee... and a glitterball wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots! Her questionable decision-making continues :oops:

And to think we were worried about an Aubergine shaped Bee!

I remember during the series I insisted Ellie was mature for her age but I think I got mixed up with Professional Ellie doing her job and Personal Ellie which we are seeing on tour which is very much a youthful 22 year old. I hope she's having a blast on tour, it must feel a bit like accidentally being on a saga holiday when they get off stage, but I'm sure she's making the most of it.

I would be heartbroken if Katya left. I know the day will come, sometime, of course.
I think she would never allow herself to become stale though.

Katya is the queen of the pros. Year on year, no matter what calibre of talent she has with her celeb, she manages to bring out the very best of their skills. She is so considerate of the celeb and contributes such a lot to them having the very best of experiences. Cannot say that about all the pros.

Always feel that the judges are very crusty and begrudging to her for some reason. One of the weeks last year, may have been the rumba with Nigel, where Shirley managed to just about say well done to her on the choreography. Seemed like she almost had a convulsion saying it, she did not have a smile on her face, it seemed bitterly matter of fact.

She has much to give the show, she is clever, articulate and very very kind.

I think she just wants to teach her celeb to dance to the best of their ability, whether that’s week 3 or the final.

Karen really frittered Eddie away. I don’t think he went out able to dance any better than when he started.

I agree. It really is time for a proper refresh. I’m still hoping Pasquale will come in, even if just for a couple of series. I know he’s probably too old but it will really shake up the male pros as P will be gunning for a 6th win in a row.

I don’t know much about him, but personally wouldn’t enjoy to see the hiring of a pro who will undoubtedly want to win in order to keep his tradition of winning every series he’s in. Seems a bit full of himself and I think the best pros are the ones who understand it’s about the celeb and genuinely want them to improve and enjoy themselves

From all accounts of those who’ve met him, he’s absolutely charming and friendly. He’s extremely talented, and very good all rounder ( another Burn the Floor graduate). He’s also great friends with Vito, Lauren, Jowita and Kai, so he’d get on well with the current Strictly pros. He just happens to be very successful so far.
He also appeared in the pro dances in 2022, along with Giada.

Well Vito and Pasquale appear to have become somewhat estranged via the Gio feud so probably not a good idea to introduce him now... there's enough Italian drama.

Honestly these boys 🥰

Apparently they cut a turn out of the Paso when they adapted it for the tour and last night Nikita forgot and did the extra turn so Layton threw in a couple of back flips to make up for it 😂

I saw him climbing on Layton 😆 He was flirtatiously interacting a lot with that side of the audience. Layton kept jokingly pulling him back. Didn't notice the mistake but did notice the backflip and just assumed he'd started randomly adding them in that one, too.
 
think I said in the middle of last season, we're due another f/f couple this year and luba would be the ideal pro for it. will it finally be the year of steph mcgovern?!

karen just really seems like she's had enough and needs to be retired to khoreography korner or something. neil will hang around until the end of time
