Have just heard who's out (can't say more or will get severely bollocked) - and I am gutted. FIX!

Freckle · 14/10/2007 13:08

Oooh come on, just a hint!

NomDeBroomstick · 14/10/2007 13:13

I'm amazed to find out that Matthew is straight , mate told me he was married to Nicole.

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 14:30

Yes - Matthew and Nicole Cutler, James and Ola Jordan and Darren Bennet and Lilya Kopilova are all married couples.
Not too certain about Anton ... I know his prof. partner is Erin Boag and that they met by chance (I think it was on a bus) but not sure about his sexuality.
Brendan was engaged to Camilla until he left her (or she kicked him out) during the first serise and his brief fling with Natasha Kaplinski - but I think I heard that they were back together now.

Gosh - never thought of myself as a gossip before but reading that I'm a bit

Sunshinecursedmummy · 14/10/2007 14:32

Brendan and Camilla are back dancing together but not a couple I believe. She has a new chap.

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 14:39

Ah, that must be what I heard.
It's a shame because I thought she went really well with Ian Waite.
I wonder if Karen will dance with Ian this serise like she did with Brendan last?

WolverineBagdirt · 14/10/2007 14:39

not read all the comments but I think the judges were unnecessarily harsh with Letitia and I'm not particularly a fan of hers. I thought she did quite well for a first dance.

What is it with GMTV presenters? I know Kate has been injured but she has such a lacklustre personality!

I hope Stephanie stays, she's a hoot!

Clayhead · 14/10/2007 14:40

Thought Matthew and Nicole were divorced?

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 14:42

Oh, don't know if they are now divorced ... just that they were married and professional partners, but they may not be anymore.

Chuzzlewit · 14/10/2007 16:20

Now I'm confused. I was apparently being wound up about who's out - but I'm not sure if I'm being wound up about being wound up IYSWIM? So basically ignore me completely, I am a dickhead.
(BUt if Letitia Dean goes out, I reckon it's a fix ).

tribpot · 14/10/2007 18:11

I found the Matthew and Nicole thing quite confusing, as I'm convinced they were billed as a married couple last year. In one of the trailers, Nicole said something about "don't tell my boyfriend" - I had a look on the Strictly website and sure enough now they're being touted as divorced since 2003. Weird.

Odd that Camilla and Brendan have been reunited as partners - according to the Beeb website that was just for the Eurovision Dance Contest?

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 19:05

In the show dance tonight Camilla was still dancing with Ian and Karen was with Brendan. K and B only dance together on Strictly as she has retired from competition - or at least she had but you never know!

It must be a bit odd for Matthew and Nicole to be divorced but still working so closely together - even tho it has been a few years.

leakyR · 14/10/2007 19:24

Nooo! I can't believe that Kate Garroway is through! Bloody GMTV viewers voting for her!
Don't want Stephanie or Letitia to leave.

leakyR · 14/10/2007 19:26

Also who felt a bit cheated that they showed the boys group dance (hilarious as it was) again?

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 19:32

What a joke!
Like Arlene said, the judges were supposed to be able to stop people being voted out when they didn't deserve it but they can't help when neither of the bottom 2 deserve to go!
Have you noticed that Craig was the odd one out last week and this? Kiss of death??

WolverineBagdirt · 14/10/2007 20:14

no, it was Arlene saved Stephanie wasn't it?

Moomin · 14/10/2007 20:16

I missed it - is Letitia out?

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 20:35

Oh - yes, I think you are right, sorry

Moomin - no it was Stephanie who left.

Moomin · 14/10/2007 20:37

Ta. Is there some controversy then? What happened?

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 20:39

Not really, just that most people on here seem to feel that neither Letitia or Stephanie deserved to go - it should have been Kate and Anton but the GMTV vote came to play again.

tigerschick · 14/10/2007 20:40

And it seems the judges agreed.

Freckle · 14/10/2007 20:59

But why would the GMTV vote be any greater than the Eastenders one? I know that Letitia isn't in it any more but she's always had a huge following.

I suspect it was the sympathy vote from all the old grannies, etc. Such a shame because I thought that Stephanie, out of all the older ladies who have taken part, actually looked as though she could go quite far.

ballbaby · 14/10/2007 21:00

How gorgeous was Stephanie! She looked absolutely fabulous can't believe she's gone. She made out she wanted to go but would've loved to see more of her and whatsizface.

multitasker · 14/10/2007 21:08

I'm sure the judges must be furious - Kate was supposed to be quitting - I'm sure I read that somewhere, poor Stephanie - and Vincent, he is fab to watch with Flavia. I'm rooting for Alesha, she seems the most down to earth. Gabby is way too competitive and Kelly Brook better stop that annoying laugh...

jenk1 · 15/10/2007 08:26

another vote for aleisha, kelly brook is so annoying pretending she,s so surprised at the comments, although she is a very good dancer.
Gabby-way too taking this serious, didnt she quit itv cos they wouldnt let her take part in last years?

i like penny and ian but aleisha gets my vote at the moment
