I find Anton Du Beke very attractive. I've only just realised that I come over all peculiar every time I see him on the television. AIBU?

I think he’s lovely but I’d throw him under the bus for Aljaz every day.

Momijin · 05/02/2022 22:38

I've just googled and looks wise does nothing for me but if he's got a nice personality then I may find him attractive

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 05/02/2022 22:41

I really like him! So YANBU OP.

Rhannion · 05/02/2022 22:47

He seems a nice bloke , quite funny and encouraging to his partners on the show. My mum enjoyed his books.

Aliaz is lovely and so kind.
HelloFrostyMorning · 05/02/2022 22:56

Eww no. Shock He does nothing for me!

Graphista · 05/02/2022 23:01

@JustCleaningtheBBQ yea he tries to portray a "nice guy" persona but on closer examination...not so much!

There's been several stories/reports about his nasty behaviour backstage and as I say there's been weird comments he's made on chat shows etc that seem to have been missed by many and are skated by the presenters/hosts

@toppkatz not "a single word" there's been a number of things come up regarding how he treats non white contestants and even other dancers and judges and he's made some questionable comments on chat shows etc

He complained about having to make that apology too.

eekbumbler · 05/02/2022 23:08

He is funny

That is as far as I am prepared to go.

BorisKilledMyHusband · 05/02/2022 23:13

I was born on the same day as him.

I was at the SCD tour earlier and the women in the crowd went mad for Alijaz! I was all about Nikita!
BorisKilledMyHusband · 05/02/2022 23:17

Has that revelation killed the thread?

flashy44 · 05/02/2022 23:17

Ewww,no no no

WeasilyPleased · 05/02/2022 23:27

Yikes no thank you. The one who floats my boat is (excuse spelling) Graziano. Phwor!

Throughabushbackwards · 05/02/2022 23:29

A few years ago, he was using the space at my workplace to rehearse. The stories about him being a nasty person are all true.

@freecuthbert

YABU! But I've heard worse on here, namely Chris Whitty.

and Mr Tumble ...... Confused

Clymene · 05/02/2022 23:46

I think he's creepy but he's pleasantly surprised me as a judge

GrandDuchessRomanov · 06/02/2022 00:02

Reminds me of Rob Brydon

Bagpusssays · 06/02/2022 00:04

I wasn't at all bothered about him on TV but about a month ago I bumped into him in a Tesco Express and he looked gorgeous! So I think there is definitely something in this. He looked really, really clean, if that makes sense...almost gleaming.

I remember a thread like this about Dominic Cummings, that has to be the worst!

He's really hot in real life. Not as hot as Nikita thoughGrin
Gilead · 06/02/2022 00:22

Nope, don’t like racists.

Sparklesocks · 06/02/2022 00:38

Each to her own Grin

Mo1911 · 06/02/2022 18:52

I just don't get the Nikita thing at all, I think he's really very odd and a bit creepy looking. I'll have to watch again, I must be missing something 😆

WeAreTheHeroes · 08/02/2022 07:32

My issue with Nikita is that he's far too young to be attractive to me - he could be my son. I don't get any creepy vibes from him at all.
