Maybe she's already decided to leave after this year and that's why she doesn't give a tit what she says? She said something about wanting to move to America when she became a grandmother, and Mark just had a kid a few months ago.

In that case, I wonder why she didn't call it quits after last series. Unless that pay rise she negotiated last April was for a two-series deal. I know that Tess & Claudia had a two-series deal for 2023 & 24, so wouldn't surprise me if the judges did as well.

I don’t know, she doesn’t strike me as a doting grandmother, plus she lives with her elderly mum who I doubt would be up for a relocation to America.
Hopefully production are sick of her and she’ll be gone after this series.
 
I think Shirls just doesn’t care and she has also hedged her bets by saying G has always been a gentleman to HER and then that stuff about how in the dance world mean things are said etc. So if the investigation doesn’t go in G favour she can just say, he never showed that side to her etc.

To an extent it is the same with the other judges. The judges are also pretty separate from it all and just turn up on a Saturday. Them working with G and his dance classes can play ignorant, if it all goes tits up for G. The pros are different as they tend to mingle more with celebs etc.

Just shows how far as a society we have to go when so many people have the Well to ME he's always been/seemed nice so that can't be true, in regards to any kind of abuse allegations. How many people (usually men though not always) are abusive but the most charismatic people to everyone else around them?? The Beryls (and Dumbo Shirley) are doing more damage for abuse victims, regardless of whether FR is innocent or not, than they could even begin to realise.

My estimation of Vito went up when he unfollowed G. G came across as such an arse towards Vito last series.

The only thing that makes me query is G really an arse etc, is that not only did Jowita date him but she is also very good friends, with Gs very good friends. Jowita comes across as a decent person.

What did gio do to vito last series, I can't remember now.

Also if the pros are already back they really are under paid aren't they, that's nearly 2 months extra on top of what they do when it's on tv.

Jowita went through a big break-up so would have been very vulnerable. Although they stayed friends at first she hadn’t interacted with him for quite a long time now. Maybe J just likes that Natalie and they compartmentalise Gio, but it is odd.

I hope Vito gets to Italy soon - I don’t actually think he’s had a proper break since last summer (unless his Masterchef disappearance in March included a holiday). Lots of the other pros have had several foreign holidays. I guess he’ll be fairly free from October though!
 
Vito on one of his lives with Graz said he was heading back to Italy mid July so perhaps he is going back next week for a week. I imagine full pro rehearsals will begin in the next couple of weeks. I get the impression he wants to give red, hot and ready his all, so planning and training for that already and will be from October onwards - whipping Dianne into dance shape in the process.

I sound like a Vito stalker!

I guess it's nice that they seem like good friends, but jesus christ, the disparity in skill/technique level between them is so stark... like it's really gonna be noticeable lmao 😬

I do love Dianne’s honesty in her Vlog when she said even though she had been dancing every day on the tour, training with Vito she used muscles she hasn’t used in a long time.

Was it the year that Hamza and Jowita won that Graz seemed to be reprimanding Gio, presumably for his lack of enthusiasm/ failure to congratulate them?

Yes - but he did congratulate Jowita once the official/live cameras were off - that was when people first started wondering if there was something between Gio and Jowita as someone filmed Gio congratulating Jowita. Funny thing is I remember Lady Lav commenting on it and saying that Gio was probably telling Jowita how he took the glitter ball bed with him.
