Graziano was amazing at the pro challege. His steps were very clean and fast!

covetingthepreciousthings · 06/12/2019 22:06

Very pleased for Graziano, I am warming to him, maybe it's a language thing as he doesn't seem to speak much English like Gio didn't, and then they come out of their shell more as the years go on.

Kevin's suit Grin

They need to get Martin and Shirley Kemp to do Strictly next year.

RageAgainstTheSnowMachine · 06/12/2019 22:15

Never say never but Martin Kemp has been offered Strictly but declined several times now.

''They ask me a lot, but I think they’re so used to me now saying no.
‘I can’t dance,’ he revealed. ‘There’s some things I have to admit I can’t do, and dancing is one of them.''

kazzaD66 · 06/12/2019 22:33

Although I'm sure that Shirley has said she would love to do it. So maybe one of them....?

Whoops75 · 06/12/2019 22:56

Think they’re a lovely couple but their duet was hard to watch.

Loved Craigs piece.

kazzaD66 · 06/12/2019 23:00

Hard to watch or hard to listen to...? Hmm

Craig was great but it just made me more nostalgic for the good ol' days....Grin

Whoops75 · 06/12/2019 23:21

Both, not my cup of tea at all!

Can’t wait for the show tomorrow 👍

covetingthepreciousthings · 06/12/2019 23:54

Martin Kemps son, can't remember his name.. the one on Im A Celeb at the moment. I think I've already called in a thread ages ago.. but mark my words, he will be a contestant next year 🔮 for the yoof vote!

Horsemad · 07/12/2019 00:05

Ronan Kemp.

I'd watch any of them on it but Roman also ruled himself out as it would take its toll doing that and the radio show and he couldn't do #nanwarz

Have just seen Graziano - by golly, he deserved that!

RageAgainstTheSnowMachine · 07/12/2019 00:09

Roman Kemp
Ronan Farrow

Both very easy on the eye

Horsemad · 07/12/2019 00:32

Sorry, yes Roman Kemp. 🙂

*Have just seen Graziano - by golly, he deserved that!

Theromanempire · 07/12/2019 08:44

I've always said that the Kemp family (all 3 of them) would be an amazing line up...3 family members against each other!

But Roman does his radio show with Vick Hope and, after she was voted off last year, they had a bitch on the radio about the show so not sure off that would rule Roman out Confused

Can't believe that none of Spandau or Duran Duran have done Strictly- seems odd to me Hmm

ppeatfruit · 07/12/2019 08:46

A very good piece on ITT with Craig, did anyone notice Tess looking SO different Xmas Grin

In the record breakers did anyone notice Flavia demonstrating some dignified botofogos (before the contestants\professionals) ? Graziano's ,though fabulous and I'm glad he won, OMG he makes my knees wobble Xmas Blush BUT he and some of the others, seemed to be doing entirely different steps !! SOOOOOOO much faster.

ppeatfruit · 07/12/2019 08:52

BTW since when was 53 over the hill? Margot Fonteyn carried on dancing till she was in her 60s. Anton's type of dance is not any where near as onerous as female ballet dancer's. Xmas Grin

Yes since when was Martin Kemp a singer?? Xmas Grin

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 07/12/2019 10:55

I didn't say he was "over the hill" ppeat - but he's a good bit older than most of the others, and even when you are fit (and he must be with all that shagging dancing, you lose speed and agility. I'm 66 myself, and regard myself sonly just approaching the summit . . . Grin

Piggywaspushed · 07/12/2019 11:53

schaden I have only just joined the dots and realised it's you on the bonkers ' is it actually possibly a meerkat?' thread!

Hence the cats and vicar chats!

Piggywaspushed · 07/12/2019 11:55

I think Martin Kemp may be more likely as housewife's choice. He does loads of reality TV and I for one fancy him very badly

MaggieFS · 07/12/2019 13:36

I watched some of the dances from the 2016 final earlier. Whilst Danny was my favourite and I didn't mind that he didn't win as a ringer, I probably hadn't given Ore fair credit at the time. Again something which just highlights how poor this series is.

I was interested to read what pp said about the exec producer having come from X Factor. I honestly think that if I wasn't stuck at home now with a young DS, I'd have binned watching this week's ago.

DingDongSchadenfreudeOnHigh · 07/12/2019 14:13

Got my Christmas name on!

Grin
NumbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsStation · 07/12/2019 14:46

Just watched Graziano. He was fabulous. 😊. Little bit sorry for Joe though. Not quite sure about KFG’s spangly shoulder shakers...

At work for Strictly tonight and tomorrow. If some shucks what have I done little ingenue spoils it for me this week, my pitchfork will jingle your bells.

RageAgainstTheSnowMachine · 07/12/2019 15:29

Aw I loved Kev's shirt - very Elton. To the extent I looked back at Chris's jive and Aljaz's Elton pro dance to see if it or the jacket had made a previous appearance nerd
Kev looked nice with a bit of tan. I veer between who would be the best partner for an older plus size contestant and it usually ends up being between Tony Beak, Aljaz and Kev. They just seem kind.

ppeatfruit · 07/12/2019 15:46

DingDongSchady great Xmas name Grin are you wearing your Christmas jumper as well!!!!

ref. arguments I make a point of never arguing, on here anyway, it's just a waste of time and energy. I have found that if I use more than the usual amount of energy in a day (I'm 68). I feel tired the next day but if I carry on moving the next day and so on my metabolism gets used to to it.

Like most things the more one practises the better one gets Xmas Grin I suppose that Anton must find that too. Xmas Grin
