According to the forums, there's rumours that Ronnie Corbett or Paul O'Grady could be co-hosting tonight. I can't say I'm bothered who does it, as long as it isn't Katie Price

I'll miss tonights show, but hubby has set the recorder, so I'll watch it tomorrow morning ~ enjoy the show everyone

 

[Dimplenose]

She just said that Bruce is ill with the flu & that Tess will be taking over the hosting & she was doing Tess's bit.

 

[Dimplenose]

Thanks, I do hope it stays that way.

I've been thinking who used to introduce "Come Dancing"? I seem to remember Terry Wogan and Angela Rippon, was there anyone else?

Can you imagine HER doing it.

Oh no ! Not Terry Wogan

 

[PoppyAnna]

Oh no ! Not Terry Wogan

I agree, double

I just said this to Mandy but, I would like John Barrowman to do it, I think his stage background and the fact he's as camp as a row of tents would mean that we would have great banter with Tess and the dancers, and he's gorg to look at - helps!

I'd rather have Sir Terry, there's already enough campness for one programme.

Ohhhh I love John too! He would be perfect!

Ronnie Corbett?????????????????

What is the point of him being there? Just for the naff jokes?

 

[MrsJobba1]

Thankfully Ronnie was not on for long

This was the best programme - I loved Claudia and her serious face when she said the scores are in !

Tess and Claudia every week I say

Ps I felt so sorry for Jade and Layla Hope they get better x

I know, wasn't he naff.

I agree, thank goodness he wasn't on for long.

The beeb obviously had a change of heart overnight the show was rehearsed yesterday with Paul Ogrady and Tess doing the main presenting and Claudia doing the backstage bit.
Anton is Bruce's official stand-in but it's said they felt they couldn't let him do it at this stage as it would have been seen as promoting him after the recent controversy surrounding him.

Or were the beeb testing the water for the future?

Back to the result - gutted that Tuffers went

 

[Dimplenose]

What a mess! Poor Jade and Laila. I know Laila said she wanted to dance but she must have felt pressured (even if it was only by herself) to continue once Jade was injured.

On one hand I'm glad Laila was voted through as it would have been unfair for her to lose her place when Jade got a bye this week. On the other hand what other competition would let people through if they were unfit? I was really disappointed not to see Jade's tango as it looked great in the rehearsal clip.

Jade looked seriously worried and if there's any chance of her injury affecting her long jump training I don't think we'll see her compete again.

The producers must be keeping their fingers crossed that there will be enough people left to compete in the final!

Oh my goodness, I sound bitter and twisted.

I loved Claudia backstage, everyone was so relaxed with her, Tess did a great job and there was just enough Ronnie Corbett (no pun intended) not to spoil the show.

 

[natalielongstaff]

I agree it was a shame about the injuries last night Oh and i fast forwarded Ronnie as much as i do bruce !

I loved the dancing this week and i thought that the result was fair, I also loved brian and Kristina's dance
