Jeremy Vine is the first celebrity to be announced - will he be the first one off?

What is interesting is no couple has been in the dance off more than once and that hasn't happened in years. I thought Daniel would be around for longer and I will miss him. He's got quite a dry wit and came across well on It Takes Two (ITT). I liked what he said about Kristina because she's been through a rough time in the media (and it's not over yet). I wish I could wear a dress like the pink one Natalie was wearing. It's one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen on the show.

I like Katie, she is a sunny person

Happy4me Mon 19-Oct-15 13:02:18

I have feeling the public voted with their feet and it was not not Daniel they wanted off but Kristina who claims to be innocent but isn't and nice Ben Cohen fell for it ... she is dangerous so the public were protecting Daniel ironically.

OOh, Happy, that sounds like the start of a plot for a racy novel.

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 19-Oct-15 14:53:11

Happy4me what absolute tosh. Ben Cohen is no innocent guy.

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 19-Oct-15 14:55:30

I am just grinning at the image of Kristina as Public Enemy No.1 grin

kittylester Mon 19-Oct-15 15:07:37

I'm with Happy4me - Ben Cohen's relationship is not the first Kristina has broken up and its not very polite to say what anyone has written is 'tosh'. Unless you have an inside track or are in the know because you are a participant's mum! grin

Does anyone else think that young Jay is enjoying a little 'horizontal dancing' with Aliona? I know she's recently engaged but there's rather a lot of meaningful looks and tender kissing going on! He's looked besotted with her from week one.

(Just call me Mrs Cynical!) #shewantstowin

Jomarie Mon 19-Oct-15 15:26:03

You could be right Lona - my guess is he's got an old fashioned "crush" on her and she is making the most of it to get the best out of him - hope so anyway and that it's nothing more complicated.

Heard Jeremy Vine on the radio today telling his millions of listeners (potential voters) that he's really loving it and has decided he wants to stay in as he's really enjoying it Am I the only one who thinks he shouldn't be promoting himself via his radio programme? I won't be sorry to see him go as presumably he will have to eventually regardless of his numerous voters. grin

The thing that puzzles me about Jay is the way he is referred to by many as a boy and treated as one too. FGS he is 25 year old man and has been a member of a successful pop group for ages. Georgia is a lot younger than him!

I can't warm to Jay for some reason. I saw a comment about him in the press which said : " he looks as if the light's on but there's no-one at home" and that chimed with me. He does seem to lack charisma at the very least.

Ana Mon 19-Oct-15 16:20:41

I agree, Gagagran, he does nothing for me either!

Charleygirl Mon 19-Oct-15 16:29:43

I had never heard of him before and to me he lacks personality.

Lona Mon 19-Oct-15 16:34:37

I can't get over the fact that Ainsley is (I think) 58 and Daniel O'D is only (I think)52!!!!! I thought he was about 90 before I saw him! grin

Lona Mon 19-Oct-15 16:35:55

Sorry to anyone who is a fan.

NotTooOld Mon 19-Oct-15 16:46:27

Lona - I thought the same, they are definitely into the horizontal dancing, OR is she just getting back at her husband with whom apparently she had a shouting match after the show before last. (I think he objected to her behaviour with Jay).

As for Ben Cohen, I'm sure he's a big boy who can look after himself. If he's misbehaved with Kristina then he's only himself to blame (or not!)

Lona Mon 19-Oct-15 16:53:01

Ah yes, just googled her. I'd read that she was engaged but she is married. She thinks the rumours of romance between her and Jay are losing them votes! Well, hello, stop it!!

Anniebach Mon 19-Oct-15 19:24:05

A married man has an affair yet he is nice and the woman is the baddy , pleeeeaasse

LullyDully Mon 19-Oct-15 21:13:16

Not too bothered who is having sex with who. It is really none of my business and I dont care much.

However must be hard as the dancing is very "hands on"...not just hands!

Happy4me Tue 20-Oct-15 09:35:28

Thank you Kittylester ... shame one or two like taking pot shots on threads.

Not all females are angels .... found that out at school

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 20-Oct-15 16:00:43

Yes, the gossip about Jay and Aliona is rife, but I don't think anything is going on, except he might have a bit of a crush on her.

As for Kristina, the first person she was accused of having an affair with was pro Vincent Simone and he has publicly admitted he didn't tell her he had just started seeing Susanna's his now wife. Kristina and Vincent only dated for a week on the Strictly tour before she broke it off when she found out about Susan. When Susan told him she was pregnant they were not a couple and it stayed that way for a while, with him saying he'd support the baby. Then later they formally became a couple. They're now married and have 2 children.

The second person Kristina is accused of having an affair with is Joe Calazaghe. He split from the mother of his children during the series and started a relationship with Kristina. He said the relationship between him and his girlfriend had been strained because he wouldn't marry her and meeting Kristina made him realise the relationship was over. Kristina was with Joe for 4 years and they split because he doesn't want any more children.

She met Ben Cohen on the show and I have no doubt his meeting Kristina had a lot to do with ending of his marriage, but when he left his wife he dated another woman for 3 months and Kristina was a friend. They are now a couple, but I don't lay the blame at her door for the break up of these relationships.

Kristina has been pilloried in the media and I hope her recent book sets the record straight.

NotTooOld Tue 20-Oct-15 16:32:24

Wilma! You are so in the know! Are you Kristina's mother? Or Ben's mother? Or..............do tell. grin

Ana Tue 20-Oct-15 16:42:23

I was just thinking that, NTO - I didn't know Kristina had a book out. Have the rest of the professionals written one as well...?

kittylester Tue 20-Oct-15 16:50:22

I asked that up there ^ ^.

Lona Tue 20-Oct-15 16:53:59

All this stuff is on line if you have nothing better to do like me want to look! grin

kittylester Tue 20-Oct-15 17:47:40

If it's on line does it mean it's true? grin
