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 Grin

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 · 10/10/2019 10:10

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". Grin

ppeat Sokalova.

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

You absolute star! Star I had completely forgotten about that Grin

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

They talk about Neil choreographing it in the commentary.

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 · 10/10/2019 12:01

Yes @ppeatfruit definitely the same dancer..

colourlessgreenidea · 10/10/2019 12:24

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 Smile

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

covetingthepreciousthings · 10/10/2019 12:46

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 · 10/10/2019 13:50

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 · 10/10/2019 14:01

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

Shock at that video ^^

Very quirky Indeed...

kazzaD66 · 10/10/2019 15:05

Oh, dear God! That video! Shock

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

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

ThursdayLastWeek · 10/10/2019 15:14

Wow.

ThursdayLastWeek · 10/10/2019 15:15

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

GrouchyKiwi · 10/10/2019 15:37

I managed about 5 seconds of that dance.

Horehound · 10/10/2019 15:58

Wow

colourlessgreenidea · 10/10/2019 16:02

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 Hmm

ThursdayLastWeek · 10/10/2019 17:12

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

Theromanempire · 12/10/2019 08:44

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

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 Confused it's amazing what the ability to dance can do isn't it? although an ability to dance is never going to make KFG attractiveGrin

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 12/10/2019 10:48

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 · 12/10/2019 12:42

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 · 12/10/2019 14:08

I feel exactly the same @Theromanempire
