So, I've heard of 8 of the celebrities but some of those I've literally just heard the names - don't know what they actually do.

Given my interests though, it's unlikely I would be able to identify a reality "celebrity" (I mean the Love Island type shows) a blogger/vlogger/influencer or most sports people.

Anyone know all of them?

What were the sob stories?

Le Voix will get a by, as per the rules.

Sparklefizz Tue 18-Nov-25 18:36:44

I've just read about La Voix's injury. I wonder if she will be given "a by" or whether she is having to leave permanently. She's very entertaining but is being overtaken by better dancers.

Im pleased he is going, not the best by far.

MollyNew Tue 18-Nov-25 16:04:36

Yes, I just read about La Voix. Such a shame. La Voix might not be the best dancer but she is very entertaining.

Just read La Voix has been advised to rest due to an injury and won’t be dancing in Blackpool

I doubt that Janette is pregnant, as they announced a Spring 2026 dance tour only a couple of weeks ago.

I feel more sorry for Balvinder as the weeks go by, I can’t remember any previous celeb having to do the dance off, to be saved by the judges before so many times.

Emeraldforest Mon 17-Nov-25 18:24:15

Happy that Balvinder got through!
I loved seeing Diversity,always been a fan.

Maremia Mon 17-Nov-25 15:55:22

That was a lovely dress, and she was much better in her dance off version.
Not sure who will be next to go.

Bridie22 Mon 17-Nov-25 15:14:36

La voix should be gone, his last couple of routines have been poor.

Calendargirl Mon 17-Nov-25 15:11:06

Fake news?

Calendargirl Mon 17-Nov-25 15:10:46

I’ve read she is pregnant, but now wonder if it’s not true?

Not Spaghetti - I guess it is. I meant I am not on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc... Is Janette pregnant?

NotSpaghetti Mon 17-Nov-25 09:54:22

Isn't Gransnet social media Bukkie?

Bukkie Mon 17-Nov-25 09:37:03

I hope Janette is having a second baby but I haven't seen it anywhere. I am not on social media though.

La Voix was the only one tonight with any sparkle, and her steps were no more simple than Balvinder's. Whether it was the unsuitable music, (apart from ' My Guy) the dances and dancers were striving for perfection, but tonight they stopped dead at the footlights. I know it is a dance competition and steps and technique are of the essence but so too is connection with the audience and their reaction.

I just hope she stays in it long enough to do 'I am what I am.'

Grannynannywanny Sun 16-Nov-25 20:38:17

I think if La Voix was in the dance off tonight with Balvinder the judges wouldn’t have saved Balvinder. La Voix seems to be very popular with the judges and I feel at times they over mark. I like La Voix but not enough to see her full on every week as a presenter. I hope that rumour doesn’t come to fruition.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 16-Nov-25 20:20:54

Sorry to see Vicky and Kai go.

La Voix must be on borrowed time.

Diversity boys brilliant as usual (I am biased as they are local, and really nice people)

The wrong person went out.
La Voix really shouldn’t have gone through

Yes, I think Vicky and Balvinder should have both got through, not La Voix, even though I'm rather a fan.

Bukkie Sun 16-Nov-25 20:13:01

I though Balvinder's dress was beautiful, glad she got through but poor lady looks defeated now. It's a big no from me to Paddy McGuinness. I too would like to see Janette Manrara host.

I loved seeing Diversity, I've always been a fan!

Sorry to see Kai & Vicky leave, ( I'm a Kai fan too!).
It was the right decision though.
Poor Balvinder to be in yet another dance off.

"See you all in Blackpool"!!

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Nov-25 20:00:35

The right decision.
Well, that's it for another week.

Calendargirl Sun 16-Nov-25 19:59:08

I’m glad Balvinder got through, I thought before the dance off the judges would want to keep Vicky.

Her (Bal’s) dance was much better. Loved her dress.
