Previous thread here.

I also remember Katya Virshilas as being entirely devoid of a sense of humour - she gave the impression of someone grinning and bearing this gormless UK crowd.

It was the combination of their absolute opposite personalities that made them so brilliant together: Katya’s thinly veiled contempt for any and everything, and Gavbot’s intentional/unintentional (delete as applicable) insouciance.

I wish the VT of the time he made her play rugby as part of their cha cha training was still on YouTube

So the Katya on choreography corner's name is Vishalis and the little loony "jump on my contestant" Katya is the one who used to be married to Neil? What was her name before she married him?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I liked her. The sort of constant low-key bickering that she and Gavin did was quite funny. I can't quite remember it, but I think it was their rumba where she was trying to get him act, and she said "I'm thinking sexy thoughts" and he replied "good for you".

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

ppeat Sokalova.

To confuse things even further, she often competed as Ekatarina, rather than Katya.

You absolute star! I had completely forgotten about that

Gavin Henson: under-rated comedy genius! It’s the utterly deadpan Welsh accent that made everything sound so funny.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

They talk about Neil choreographing it in the commentary.

[ppeatfruit]

Thank you Polka That's a definite ballerina's name it's beautiful Ekaterina Sokalova. I'm still bit confused that's the dancer who's throwing herself at poor Mike in this series? Yes

[covetingthepreciousthings]

Yes @ppeatfruit definitely the same dancer..

[colourlessgreenidea]

In my desperate search to find more Kat n Gav hilarity to reminisce over, I’ve found this. Sadly no videos, but THE HAT, the air-con, ‘good for you’ and the rugby playing all get honourable mentions

[ppeatfruit]

Thanks coveting it seems such a lovely name for someone who's a good dancer but slightly personality wise. I like the other Katya.

[covetingthepreciousthings]

So, do we think Neil is still helping choreography or do we think that's come to an end.. considering some of the recent abominations.

[xsquared]

Given Neil has his own partner to choreograph for and that he's now separated from Katya, I don't think he'll be doing any choreography for Katya at all.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Oh they do have a bit of a thing for a gimmicky dance...

Like .

[Horsemad]

at that video ^^

Very quirky Indeed...

[kazzaD66]

Oh, dear God! That video!

It's a shame they've split up. They deserve each other!

I noticed a move that made it into Ed Ball's Gangnam style

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Wow.

[ThursdayLastWeek]

I’ve gone all cats bum mouth a la Canadian Katya over that!

[GrouchyKiwi]

I managed about 5 seconds of that dance.

[Horehound]

Wow

[colourlessgreenidea]

They got a lot of stick over that ‘fat suit’ dance - so they tried to spin it that they were being ‘body positive’ and proving that anyone can dance, whatever their size

[ThursdayLastWeek]

It didn’t look like it was going down especially well with the crowd either!

[Theromanempire]

Very quiet on here! Looking forward to another evening, particularly Kelvin and Oti's rumba

It's funny but, whilst I don't watch Emmerdale, I've been aware of Kelvin for years and never once found him attractive but I do now it's amazing what the ability to dance can do isn't it? although an ability to dance is never going to make KFG attractive

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

It's been a curiously dull week on ITT, hasn't it? Apart from Anneka blasting the producers, the songs, the costumes and the dances everyone else has been fairly blandly following the normal script. All the pros are proud of their celeb and how hard they are trying, all the celebs are feel grateful that they are on Strictly and think their pro is the best teacher, this week is harder than last week, the fast dances are really hard because if you miss a step you're lost, the slow dances are really hard because your technique is exposed, just loads of stuff that we hear every year.

[ppeatfruit]

Black I don't think so, after all it's about SCD is't it? I liked the return of Zoe, she's very friendly, you get the feeling that people like Vicki (the costumes lady) really enjoy working with her.

[InvisibleWomenMustBeRead]

I feel exactly the same @Theromanempire
