They don't deserve the to be so hung, drawn and quartered in public like this. There are many, many people who've been spotted having a snog whilst high on adrenalin / drink. None of us is perfect.

They've just apologised again on Strictly Take 2.

And please, no abuse towards me for posting this either.

People are entitled to discuss what they like. You don’t have to read the comments if you don’t like them.

Disclaimer: I’ve zero interest in the story and haven’t read any threads about it.

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/10/2018 18:44

Yes, absolutely, no more attention has been drawn to them and I, at least will never never show an interest in them, or Strictly again.
I applaud you OP, for making sure they will never be bothered again.

*If they are, do pm me me and I'll start another thread to make sure they're left alone

I couldn’t actually believe what I was watching. It’s a witch hunt by the media. It’s nobody’s business!

TwitterQueen1 · 10/10/2018 18:55

sigh.... doncha just luv MN sometimes - Out of the current 4 responses, 2 completely miss the point and 1 of those is just a wisecrack dig.

I agree that there's nothing more to say about it all really. It's gone on for 4 days.

Be interesting to see what happens on Saturday night.

BitchQueen90 · 10/10/2018 19:03

I don't watch Strictly and I don't know who either of them are but it's their partners I feel bad for, not them.

TwistedStitch · 10/10/2018 19:07

I agree OP. Alot of others do too if social media comments are anything to go by, quite a bit of backlash now against the witch-hunt.

MacosieAsunter · 10/10/2018 19:09

I didn't watch tonights apology, I have just read it on line.

TBH I'm another who is bored with the whole saga now. He's a knob, she's in an open marriage (according to Arlene Phillips), the only person wo has come out of this with any dignity is the now exGF, and she kept the cat! And frankly it's no one elses business. Glad the cat is ok.

saganorenscarandcoat · 10/10/2018 19:11

I'm bored with it too. Let him without sin cast the first stone. They are being vilified for being human. There has obviously been issues in his relationship and probably in hers but that's their business. I'm sick of all these people on their moral high horse who are slating them. It's life. Shit happens.

PanamaPattie · 10/10/2018 19:12

I agree. Build that bridge and get over it. It was a drunken snog. Probably no tongues. Meh.

surferjet · 10/10/2018 19:12

I actually fancy him now & I hardly noticed him before.

Padparadscha · 10/10/2018 19:13

I don’t think many will have much more to say after this. He just came over as an utter twat and if anyone believes he’s sorry from that interview, more fool them. Sorry is just a word after all. So he’ll go back to doing whatever he does, and she’ll carry on being a dancer. The world will forget them both very soon.

saganorenscarandcoat · 10/10/2018 19:13

Hahaha me too @surferjet , I think he's very sexy!

Is he an alcoholic??

Silvercatowner · 10/10/2018 19:20

God I feel old. I don't even know who these people are.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 19:23

People are entitled to discuss what they like. You don’t have to read the comments if you don’t like them

I agree tbh.

These are people who are in professions that caught the media. You can't have it both ways.

If you don't want bad publicity then don't cheat and when you get caught maybe don't give identical statements at the same time.

Probably no tongues

There probably was from the pictures.

They will probably be out in the next couple of weeks tbh and I don't think they will make the tour either.

It is also going to be very much harder to get celebs to do it going forward.

NerrSnerr · 10/10/2018 19:23

It was a drunken snog but I'd be pretty gutted if my partner snogged someone and I found out how his partner did.

I'm on the fence about the trial by public media thing. It's not helpful for people to keep putting the boot in but it's the risk you take for doing something so idiotic when they both know they're doing a high profile show and the paparazzi will be following them.

SillySallySingsSongs · 10/10/2018 19:26

It was a drunken snog but I'd be pretty gutted if my partner snogged someone and I found out how his partner did.

That's part of it for me. This apparently happened on the 3rd of October on her birthday, which was before last weekend's show where there was footage of her clapping and crying at how good the routine etc was.

Then it was just after the show aired that the pictures came out.

She was humiliated in public.

Theknacktoflying · 10/10/2018 19:29

I think it was the fact that he has been a gaslighting arsehole .... rather than a cheater ....

NerrSnerr · 10/10/2018 19:30

Theknack even though I'm inclined to believe her side of the story the only actual fact we know is that he cheated as he admitted it.

Theknacktoflying · 10/10/2018 19:39

this is just the sort of excusing that has got us in the situation that we are now in ... people do cheat, but if you are going on a family friendly show and selling your brand just make sure your nose is clean and behaviour is beyond reproach ...

costacoffeecup · 10/10/2018 19:48

Yeah it's a bit shit that they got wheeled out to apologise. It's their own business really, they really shouldn't have to justify themselves. But I do think they should have considered pulling out of the competition quietly and with some dignity before it got to this point as unfortunately they will be judged.
