Speculation about Pete and Jovita is everywhere from what I can tell - I only read headlines on the Apple News app and it seems to pop up there regularly!

I try not to take my eyes off him! 👀

Meh..There was speculation about Hamza and Jowita. Then Gio stepped in!

I can definitely see Jowita and Pete having a fling. I definitely could not see Jowita and Hamza having a fling.

Amanda A is claiming that a cancer scare was why she quit Strictly.

Hamza definitely fell for Jowita but it wasn't reciprocated.

I think Punam has now embedded herself in the public awareness. I love seeing Gorka look so proud and joyful. No pissy Gorka this year.

Yeh I felt that.

He shouldn't be pissy? any year really?
Seems most years he's not into it.
I think he should have left few years ago with that attitude.

Gorka either gets into the final with a great celeb or goes out early with a poor one. He doesn't seem to try very hard with the poor ones.

What's your beef with Pete? 😂He seems to be a real Marmite character...

And Poor Hamza definitely fell Jowita, but it wasn't reciprocated - he seemed such a lovely down-to-earth guy - hope he's happy now!

I just detest tattoos, long hair and the general unwashed look. My own issue really.🙂

I do too usually! It's ironic how much work and time must go into getting that unwashed look 😂But I'm also finding I'm strangely drawn to Pete as the same time - not sure if it's his intensity but it's all v. confusing. Think it might be a classic case of the 'bad boy' charm...

I hate his tattoos. He is practically covered in them and it makes me feel slightly sick. Shame as he is a goodlooking man

Also not sure what it going on with the Pete/Jowita romance - there's defo a lot of chemistry there, but I caught them on Strictly It Takes Two this week and their body language had defo cooled a bit compared to the week before where they were very flirty/touchy with each other... There's also been a lot of stories this week about him and his apparent girlfriend Maura Higgins being all over each other, so maybe that's why...

Not sure how much romance can develop between the stars and the pros now that each contestant has a chaperone in the room.

It's the tattoo going into his beard I don't like, there's a sort of uncanny head-floating look.

He made me laugh in his VT last night though, so I think I'll like him more as we see more of him and get to know him.

It isn't as bad as the bee up his whole neck that a chef on Masterchef the Professionals had though.

Yeh I don't agree with that.

I'm always curious what will happen to the people with the neck tattoos when they age and how it will look. I see the neck tattoos on men and women everywhere near me - it's become completely normal!!

And yes - the Masterchef Bee tattoo was awful, but better than Ian Humphries' from the Bidding Room's butterfly neck tattoos 🤐

Not sure how much romance can develop between the stars and the pros now that each contestant has a chaperone in the room.

I wonder whether they stay with one couple or whether they swap around.

It must be such a weird job to do. Do you think any of them are sitting there thinking "Bloody hell X, she said left foot. I could do your samba by now"?

It's the tattoo going into his beard I don't like

Me too!

oh I love Ians Tattoos.

Is Maura Higgins Gio’s ex?

I think she was with him at some point, yes

And of course, Gio also had a fling with Jowita. We could draw a Venn diagram…

Only just caught up
toyah diabolical would rather she went over anyone else Paul included

Pete grew on me this week
Fave dance sarah and Vito but also enjoyed JB and Shane
