That rap was just appalling

I was surprised Les was in the DO as I assumed he’d get a fair fee public votes given he’s a household name. I think it’s probably too long ago now to have any sort of actual following plus (and this might sound bad I’m aware) he was very difficult to watch and made me feel uncomfortable. Bad dancers as usually inspiring (“least they giving it a go even if they are rubbish good on them”) or funny (“they know they can’t dance but they're up for a laugh and that makes me feel good”) or something. He just made me feel uncomfortable. He doesn’t look well. I understand that might just be his age and way he his but he honestly looks unwell even in the VTs like there is something about the way he holds himself and his face and even the way he presents himself. I thought he’d be funnier and livelier. I genuinely hope he is okay and that’s just the way he is. It doesn’t make for very happy viewing though so I think that’s why he didn’t get many votes.

I agree with this, it was uncomfortable watching him. I expected him to be funny and bring the humour this year but unfortunately no.

I thought both Graziano and Zara had awful costumes that did not show off their good looks at all. I thought it was so unfair, and so distracting from their dancing, that I even voted for them

Fleur rapping was truly excruciating. She was ok last week but tonight it was like they had told her to be more lairy and Janette-like. It was very annoying.

It feels a bit like the producers have given up putting any kind of effort into ITT. I find myself having it on in the background now, whereas I used to actually watch it.

I saw 42nd Street recently in Glasgow, Les Dennis wasn't in it. The role I assume he plays was played by Michael Praed. He didn't do much dancing in the show from what I remember. It was a fantastic show with amazing dancing from the cast.

Do You mean this Michael Praed?

It was good with Zoe.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/10/2023 19:43

I loved it when it was Claud. Don't bother now

Sunbird24 · 02/10/2023 19:45

I haven’t really watched ITT since it was Zoe

I have to say Shirley is looking fab this series - love her hair that way.

Completely agree although she has gone down in my estimation somewhat after her uncharacteristically spiteful (imo) rant at My Nigel 😳 wtaf???

Aquarius1234 · 02/10/2023 19:50

Claudia doing ITT seems neons ago.

CaveMum · 02/10/2023 19:53

I’ll see your Claud and raise you Justin Lee Collins - remember him?!

Show quote history

Yes this is him! I loved him in Robin of Sherwood on a Saturday evening, also loved the music by Clannad. I didn't recognise him when he was on Cellebrity Masterchef recently. He looked different on the stage though, his hair had been cut. Was great in 42nd Street and still very handsome!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 02/10/2023 20:14

Sorry I've spelled Celebrity wrong!

He had all the nicknames and sent Anton out to buy jeans !

OrangesLemonsLimes · 02/10/2023 21:08

Les was awkward and brought no humour. I don’t think he has added much to the series. But I think that whoever leaves this coming Saturday will be missed. It would be a shame if it’s Zara or Nikita, both of whom are improving and seem to be very engaged. Jody has more to give and Krishnan is delightful. But I’d like everyone to stay tbh 😁

Riverlee · 02/10/2023 23:29

@OrangesLemonsLimes i agree with you. There’s not an obvious second weakest person. I guess it’ll depend on whether their next dance suits them or not. Could be an interesting dance-off.

GoodOldEmmaNess · 03/10/2023 07:14

I hope Krishnan stays a few weeks longer.
In the very beginning of his strictly stint, and in his first dance,, he was carried along on a wave of enchanted happiness and it gave him a clumsy grace. Then the spell began to weaken as nerves burst in.
He looks like he would be able to take instruction well and improve loads if he is able to stay for a while.

Also, he absolutely has to do the opening part of the classic Angla Rippon dance to 'There must be trouble ahead ...', pushing away his newsdesk and revealing his lovely long* legs.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 03/10/2023 07:28

I quite like Fleur but that rapping made me cringe, it was awful. Hope it's not going to be a weekly thing.

I'm so glad Les went. I'm sure he's a lovely person but he's not funny anymore. I agree with the people saying he didn't look well. I got the impression he was in pain the whole time. I wish him well.

Lampzade · 03/10/2023 08:40

Glad that Les went tbh. I agree with another poster who said that he made them feel
uncomfortable.
Not sure if he could have lasted much longer as he doesn’t look very well.

I stopped watching It Takes Two after Zoe left.
I like Janette but I just didn’t enjoy watching her .
I haven’t even attempted to watch this series

ellebelli · 03/10/2023 10:13

I last watched when Claudia was on, enjoyed it and found her funny, now I find her mostly manic with shit jokes(but I guess that's not her fault )

ilovebrie8 · 03/10/2023 10:33

I find Claudia v manic and can’t watch Janette she is also manic…

Claudia was really good on ITT. Series 5-9ish I'd watch every night, or tape it and catch up.

Her dance demos with Len were always funny, but she was a really good spontaneous interviewer.

Yes I liked the dance demos,they were good together.
She is better off script for sure, shame she has to make those ridiculous jokes alongside Tess.
