I was just coming on to say the same @CoolCarrie! The celebs and the pros too, now that the show has been running so long, live a lot of their lives in public but more so when the show is actually running.
Prior to Strictly I had no idea that Seann and Rebecca were a couple and wouldn't have been able to comment on their personal life in the slightest. Being part of such a huge show though and already being part of the celeb circle, they know the score. They know they are fair game. They know the media are watching and waiting. So what they have done so publicly does have a bearing. I don't care about their personal lives per se, but they have behaved despicably in full public view and not in the spirit of what essentially is a light-hearted dancing show, but one that is watched by millions, so for that reason I hope they are in the bottom two and I hope they are voted off.
By all means have a showmance/fauxmance but not if it involves dragging others who don't deserve it, through the media mill. It's Strictly. It's NOT Naked Attraction!
