Ellie has probably just realised Strictly was her likely career highlight annd is now getting nostalgic as she faces panto in Wigan.

The downside of winning Strictly at young age - she can’t now use it to reignite her career in 10 years.
Rose has done really well out of Strictly - I see she now has a book deal. I really do wonder if some people are trolling her, as normally she does announce her positive career things over insta. Nothing to do with her MBE and nothing regarding her book deal.

I wonder if Ellie will do the rest of Cluedo 2 upto December this year, then again it is work. She seems to miss home.
 
It must be hard to have that experience and be so close to Vito’s aubergine for months, the tour etc, and now everybody’s talking about Su Pollard and Him Off Bank of Dave.

I think touring in theatre is good for her and I’m sure other 2:22-esque things will come up.

I see Pasquale has set up his own dance classes. Basically confirming the split from FR was not his idea. Wonder if FR knew he’d have more time on his hands, plus losing Strictly income and wanted to keep it all to himself? Also, the gambling is a red flag.
 
Latest FR update! Just got this text off my mum who's on a coach trip in Bridlington!

The thing that concerned me about those gambling photos was that it was before 10am in the morning and they weren’t what I would call a casino.

Amusement arcades in regular towns (not seaside) seem to have tried to rebrand themselves as casinos.
One near us got done over and when police posted about it on fb everyone one was like 'since when have we had a casino?'.
He looks even more grubby than usual
 
I noticed that Behind the Magic cast are giving away tickets for the London show on Sunday, at mates rates ( I seem to recall around £8?). Went to check and only half full, slightly better for the matinee. Probably would have been wiser to do one performance at 5pm instead. They had exactly the same problem last year. Bath tomorrow night is pretty bad too. Birmingham have a third of tickets left. The rest seem ok for the rest of the week. I noticed Gio and Anton have a bit of a mixed bag sales wise as well. Maybe there are just too many tours now, and lack of spending power.
 
TBF much as I'd love Gio and Anton's tour to be a flop quite a few venues are sold out. They have a solid Beryl fanbase.

Kai and Nadiya: I don't really understand why a promoter/producer would repeat this tour when it seemed not to do that well last year. Must be breaking even I guess.

They made it shorter and used slightly smaller venues this time , but are still trying Sadler’s Wells for the London one ( maybe the only london venue that could work date wise?). Kai obviously wanted to do the Southampton one and managed to book it this time. That production company are the ones who do Janette/Aljaz, Come what May and Here come the boys. A lot of HCTB dates were only a third full last time and CWM wasn’t a huge seller. Wondering if half the problem is having Scott Coldwell as the choreo for all of them. He’s not exactly exciting. Arduino did Graz’s and Gio’s choreographer always does a great job, as does Jojo’s ( all different production companies).
 
2023 started off really crap for Ellie. She had lost the job she had from when she was a kid and she split from long term boyfriend after he cheated on her. I think an overly tactile golden retriever Italian was exactly what she needed. She was a good dancer but I doubt she would have won with another partner. She’s always going to have Vito on a bit of a pedestal I think.

If Vito does have a secret partner fair play to them for keeping it out of the limelight. I do think it’s quite strange when famous people’s partners get fans. I’ve seen a fan account for Nikita’s girlfriend which is just weird. Whilst she works as a model she is not famous outside of the relationship.

Looks like there was a strictly trip to Cabaret last night 🥰
