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

numberplease Tue 05-Jan-16 01:52:40

He should have danced well after all those years at dance academies.
I see there are reports now of Georgia finishing with her boyfriend and getting off with Giovanni.

Jane10 Mon 04-Jan-16 19:46:19

So you'll one of those voting for him? Will just have to agree to vehemently disagree!

katie1 Mon 04-Jan-16 19:01:05

I thought Jay was a superb dancer, he was a natural. He was determined every week to do his utmost.He deserved to win.

Alima Sat 02-Jan-16 14:47:40

Me too, annodomini. My favourite series ever when she danced and won with Mark Ramprakash.

annodomini Sat 02-Jan-16 13:58:44

I'd like to see the very knowledgeable Karen Hardy on the judging panel. However, I think she is quite busy judging ballroom competitions around the world, also has a young baby.

Jane10 Fri 25-Dec-15 10:35:42

Yes Ian seems a nice chap. I reckon you'd need quite a big personality to manage along with the others. Anton could sort them out. Och its academic. The Beeb will do their thing and we'll just have to wait and see.

Charleygirl Thu 24-Dec-15 09:28:54

Anton or Ian Waite would also be very good and fair.

Jane10 Thu 24-Dec-15 09:23:23

Awww I love Anton. He'd be a very well qualified judge.

Anya Wed 23-Dec-15 14:28:04

hmm

aggie Wed 23-Dec-15 13:47:46

NO NO not Anton , they will need a wide lens camera for his head !!

Teetime Wed 23-Dec-15 13:32:17

I hope so his puns and his irritability are annoying now. Anton for judge please.

Charleygirl Wed 23-Dec-15 12:53:31

Is Len retiring or is that just a rumour?

numberplease Tue 22-Dec-15 22:37:26

Kristina has left as well.

Anniebach Tue 22-Dec-15 12:37:22

I will certainly miss Ola

Anya Tue 22-Dec-15 09:15:55

Couldn't have put a piece of paper between the final three. All excellent in their own ways.

Think Kevin and Kellie might have pulled in more votes had they danced their American Smooth ( red dress - song from Oliver?) as, though it was doubtlessly technically excellent, their Charleston lacked umph!

chelseababy Tue 22-Dec-15 08:18:23

And no more Ola either.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 22-Dec-15 06:20:34

Aliona has tweeted she will not be returning next year.

Eloethan Mon 21-Dec-15 00:18:41

I think Jay was the best dancer - but Kellie came a very close second.

mrshat Sun 20-Dec-15 20:49:59

I'd have liked Georgia to win, but Kellie and Kevin were outstanding last night. Jay was good, but he has had lots of training. I think that the judges should be the only ones to vote in the final - it is about dancing, not popularity. confused

Sadiesnan Sun 20-Dec-15 20:15:35

I'd have been happy for Georgia or Kellie to win, as they both danced so well in the final. Jay has been consistent, but not really improved that much and in the final he didn't shine. I voted for Kellie.

LullyDully Sun 20-Dec-15 20:13:24

Still think Anita and Helen could dance better than Katie.

Gagagran Sun 20-Dec-15 17:48:34

I wanted Georgia to win as I thought she was stunning. Jay was disappointing despite his 6 years training and Kelly taught dance before her Eastenders role so it was only to be expected that she would be competent. Georgia shone I thought and had not had nearly the amount of training that the other two had.

Poor Katie did a bit of ballet as a girl and was old enough to be both Georgia's and Jay's Mum so no wonder she brought up the rear. I loved her though! She and Anton has a great time and that shone through.

NotTooOld Sun 20-Dec-15 16:48:49

Wasn't Georgia at stage school, though? Surely she'd have had dance training as part of the course?

I was disappointed that Kellie and Kevin didn't win.

grannyactivist Sun 20-Dec-15 13:34:37

I thought Kellie and Kevin were the best dancers, although I think Jay was also excellent; but for the winner I would have chosen Georgia simply because she has not had the benefit of previous extensive dance training, unlike the other two, and had therefore demonstrated a quite amazing progression.

granjura Sun 20-Dec-15 11:08:55

Well we both enjoyed it - and couldn't have decided between the three- all excellent in their own ways. We could make a case for all 3- and weren't disappointed when Jay won. As Anno says, he was never in the dance off.
