Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

I don’t agree on that Sparklefizz, because social media wouldn’t have let it go until there was some kind of outcome.

Anniebach Mon 14-Oct-24 10:41:52

The explanation was most strange

Sparklefizz Mon 14-Oct-24 10:39:06

I suspect "words were said" , probably by the producers, in the interval between the end of the first show and the filming of the results. They don't want any more suspicions or scandal regarding the programme.

It would have been better if Katya and Wynn had not given their rather strange explanations which made the whole situation worse. They should have just let it go ......

The thing is, that something which would have caused little comment last year, is really under the spotlight this year, obviously I don’t know what the story is, but I agree, that Wyn looked very uncomfortable.

^The Results Show^ is filmed within an hour of the actual show ferry23

The hand incident clip hadn’t gone viral on social media then.

Katya is the only one who knows how she felt.

Yes I do know that the results show takes place after the live show - doesn't everyone? But the broadcasting time of the results show has no relevance. When it was picked up on SM also has no relevance.

It happened when it happened. The timing of the show or the furore on SM makes no difference.

Of course only Katya knows how she felt, I'm not implying otherwise. And only Wynne knows his part in it.

I'm not keen on Katya. She is a talented dancer and choreographer but she caused controversy by having an allegedly "drunken" snog with Sean Walsh a couple of years back which ultimately ended her marriage and now this with Wynn.

He really doesn't seem to be the type. I don't want to sound naive as I know this could be said about a number of people who have been outed as abusers/sexual predators, but he really looked to be somehow diminished in the results show.

I don't understand how this could be a joke or a mistake as Katya is claiming.

Casdon Mon 14-Oct-24 09:24:41

The truth is Calendargirl that we will never know whether you are right in your assumption or not. I feel for Katya though regarding the negative publicity, and I think we should take what she says at face value - at the end of the day it’s about the dancing not about the relationship between the professional and the dancer, which is for them to sort out. There is a chaperone so I highly doubt anything else will happen.

Katya posted another clip this morning. I saw it on BBC news. She said the hand incident was a very silly in joke between the 2 of them and it was absurd for anyone to think it made her feel uncomfortable.

“The lady doth protest too much”.

Having watched the results show I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and put one forward for Wynne here.

Both Shane and Nick had their arms around the waist of their partners when the judges were talking. A lot of the male pros had arms around the waists of partners talking to Claudia.

Wynne looked frightened to go anywhere near Katya - he barely touched her when they found out they were safe and also very subdued generally.

Given she wrapped her legs around him at the end of their dance, - has leant on his shoulder - held his face in her hands - he probably didn't think he was doing anything untoward or unwelcome as there clearly is a level of familiarity between them.

Common sense post. Most people want his head on a stick!

petra Mon 14-Oct-24 08:04:33

Something happened before the hand on stomach incident.
Just before that wynn was doing a high 5. For whatever reason Katya had a face like thunder before she turned to the camera and there she was smiling broadly.

I so agree ferry watching the results this evening every couple hugging and cuddling, Wynne looked so troubled, when I read the allegations I did not agree, he placed his hand
on her waist but was so enjoying listening to Claudia

That hand was creeping round to her stomach when she removed it.

Calendargirl Mon 14-Oct-24 07:30:14

I’ve missed the last couple of weeks as I’ve not been at home, but caught up this weekend.

Still no idea who many of the celebs (or pros) are. My fault, I know.

The show seems to have lost something, not sure what. (Innocence maybe?)

Saturday’s two hours seemed to drag on, and the results show really does seem a bit pointless.

It all feels a bit desperate somehow, but I shall keeeeep watching, as it fills up the weekend viewing.

It will probably seem better when we eliminate another few dancers. 🤞

I do enjoy voting though, and all my choices got through.

No surprises in the outcome of the dance off. I think that was fair. I’m glad Punam escaped the dance off and I hope she’s back on form next week.

rafichagran Sun 13-Oct-24 20:03:10

No surprises there. I thought Kai, Katya, and Snow patrol were amazing. Snow Patrol was the only reason I watched tonight.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Oct-24 19:55:18

Yes Calendargirl. No contest surely.

Calendargirl Sun 13-Oct-24 19:47:37

Well, that’ll be Nick out.

Deedaa Sun 13-Oct-24 19:39:34

eazybee I saw Punam interviewed before the first programme. She said that her children were ecstatic that she was going to be dancing, while her mother's reaction was "And what exactly does this have to do with medicine?" I think she will keep listening to Mother,

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Oct-24 19:28:28

Shane and Nancy in the dance off!

Am I the only one who goes on the spoiler site to find out the results?

I really cannot be doing with the results show with all the last night on the show pretence.

No I so it as well. However I thought I heard Snow Patrol was appearing, if that is the case I will watch.

eazybee Sun 13-Oct-24 16:57:46

I believe Punam is a doctor; I do hope she is not another one who is intending to set out on the celebrity path and abandon a hard-won career in medicine. She is not a natural dancer, whereas Tasha is, and a very highly trained one too.

I looked up the biography of Alijaz .
I didn't know that he suffers from psoriasis, which is so unpleasant .
He'd have steroid creams to treat it and I wonder if he has oral steroids when competing intensely .
If he does - he could look bloated .
I have to take steroids for my weak lungs and I know that I look bloated .
I like Wynne ,but I find Katya's reaction to him worrying .
I must have watched half the programme , but it isn't as exciting as it used to be .
