I swear, if that vile little shit does well in Strictly, I am cancelling my TV license.

[HookedOnHooking]

Who is with me?

And should I start one of those petition things?

Actually I think you should probably cancel your TV licence whether he wins or not OP.

Probably much better in the long run.

He's irritating but not vile.

My colleague met him during an event and said he was brilliant company; interested in the project and took time to meet , greet and listen to the stories of the entrants.

Nice chap by her account.

I'm with you OP.

He irritates the bejeepers out of me.

I'd rather indulge in a bit of how's yer father with Daniel O'Donnell (and I really don't want to do that!) than see the orange one weep all over the BBC because he's won Strictly.

And there was silly me thinking that winning SCD had something to do with being able to dance, not just about whether you love your kids

And if you're not watching it and not interested in the topic, you don't have to read the thread or comment on it.

But how do you know what it is about without reading it?

With you OP
Vile little shit

I hate him. I hate his stupid Iceland ads where he tries to sound all posh saying 'pappardelle pasta' and 'Chianti'
Makes me want to tear my ears off.

But Katie you do like him...and that is the problem...

There was a ginormous clue in the thread title Doreen and if there wasn't, you don't have to comment if you're not interested

This is all very odd. I have seen so many threads on here that have been utter slaggings off of the orange one. You only have to have the gentlist hint of a mention of him and there are pages and pages. Now everyone's sticking up for him or failing to get the reference.

This place has changed!

Sad times indeed.

Winning Strictly has never had much to-do with dancing. The decent dancers who are a bit boring are always the first to go out. In the final weeks it becomes about the best dancer from what's left but the early weeks are a simple popularity contest.

The Mumsnet I know and love would never attack an OP for disliking Peter Andre?!?

Anti Andre sentiment was the glue that held this place together.

I have seen a few threads where PA has been discussed in less than glowing terms, he's too orange, loves his kids too much, blah, blah, blah. usually tongue in cheek, and fairly lighthearted.

But i have never seen a thread where the title declared him a vile little shit before.

I like him - can't help it and he did well tonight so there!

I loath him. Smarmy twat.

I'm seriously pissed off at the beeb right now. The shittiest strictly line up in living memory and then they announce boy fucking George on the voice.

Bastards.

What's wrong with him? I am not very down with sleb news and I don't think I've seen him on the iceland ad's (I mostly watch Netflix).

It's all very odd.

That's similar to what I thought, op.

'Oh no, of all the people to dance well, it had to be that thick shit'

Still, he loves his kids.

I am going to vote for him every week now, just based on the OPs irrational dislike.

Yeah, vile and little was quite uncalled for.

There's no such thing as an irrational dislike of Pandre!

Orange shit?

Probably too many carrots.

I thought he was pretty good and I quite like him too.

I suspect he's going to be in for most if not all the series.
