Strictly Come Dancing 2025

If a male just made the sort of comments about a female contestant that Shirley makes about some of the men, there would be hell to pay.

 

Glad I didn't spoil it for you @Obelix-Vendée .
I nearly gave away the result but thought I'd play it safe just in case !

 

Stefan Dennis withdraws from Strictly Come Dancing due to injury

 

That's a pity but he's of an age when injury is all too easy.

Seen the results now and the other judges certainly did their best to make the final decision difficult for Craig but I liked his analysis and conclusion.

 

I was disappointed at the result as there were weaker couples that should have gone out.

 

Yes, but that's the "great British public" for you @AuntyRach and it will be the same to the finals.

 

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman to leave Strictly Come Dancing at end of series

 

A change is probably a good thing @AnniD but I sincerely hope they don't go for Rylan as a replacement as some have suggested.

 

Ironically I thought of him myself @Obelix-Vendée .

I used to watch "It takes two" when he presented it, and found that unlike Zoe Ball (and Jeanette Manrara, unless she's changed), he was willing to ask a question, really listen to the answer and then follow it up.
Zoe was very "These are the questions and I'm going to ask them,regardless of any interesting response", and I liked his empathy with the contestants.
My OH is of the same mind as you .

I think whoever they choose as replacements are going to generate a mixed response . They certainly won't please everyone.

 

I just got a bit fed up with him being onscreen almost every day in form or another @AnniD. He's not bad as a presenter just spread himself too thin.

 

I’m surprised that they are both going at once. Maybe they can put it to the public vote to find a replacement!

 

They said they agreed some time ago that they would both go together @AuntyRach. Not surprising really as it would be hard f.o rthe one who stayed to develop that same rapport with a new partner. Easier for a new pair to put their own mark on it

 

Please god don’t have Bradly Walsh presenting Strictly.
I heard him mentioned in dispatches.
I may never watch again if he does.
I can’t abide the man.

 

Nightmare scenario - Bradley Walsh and Alison Hammond!!!!

 

I wonder if it might be Holly Willoughby.
