SPOILER-FREE THREAD

Interesting twist. He did look like he had a sore knee though

Eh?? Do dance off

Oh that was an anti climax

You can tell from the way the judges and all the other celebrities and dancers talk about Tony that they all love him

I saw that last night he seemed injured

Oh.

Didn't see that coming!

WHAAAAATTT????

His feedback is normally spot on, and often needed.

The 3 for Ellie last week was unusually harsh, but that's fairly rare.

I think was his groin or thigh

Surely they knew he was injured earlier in the show
So why go through that rigmarole

WITHDRAWN?!

I feel robbed.

He was holding the back of his leg last night though.

<still feel robbed>

Bet Tyler was glad he didn't have to do his again.

No dance off?! Ian Wright did say in the week that Tony has really dodgy knees so that jive must have finished his knees off

Hamstring…

Exactly ...

Couldn't they have said this 5 minutes ago

Jive may have been too much for him

Aww darling, loved your dancing Tony, loved the joy! Xxx

I agree - unless Katya wouldn't let him withdraw in case he got through by some miracle

That was not brilliant comments from Tony to Katya. Very lame

Wasn’t expecting that!

DD6 just asked if you're allowed to refuse being on Strictly. I propose a new show: Strictly or Death.

I missed Tess saying he had withdrawn so I was wondering why Shirley was going overboard when giving him her pep talk. I thought "hang on, why's she not even pretending he has a chance in the DO?" 🤣

Yes - Craig is very necessary to bring competitors down to earth when the other judges get silly.

What rigmarole?
