So pleased no one tried for a filthy rumba.

All their dances show her off though.

My idea of a “ beautiful story” is very different to Shirley. Emotional or tear jerking story yes

Yes, and he danced with it with her rather than doing awkward sleb posing rumba

I wanted to like that but I didn't much.

I don't think you can realistically dance like you wish you were knobbing your dance partner whilst thinking about dead grandad.

I’m with Anton!

Oy, honestly I really don't like this emotional manipulation.

Male slebs rarely do a rumba well. And George was no exception

Love the song.
Apropos of nothing but...
My DC played it on one of those public pianos in an open air market place in Porto and halfway through, a chorus of teenagers started to sing along.
It was a beautiful moment. ❤️
Fond memories

I seem to be a bit cynical tonight but didn’t feel much for George during that VT unfortunately.

And I didn’t think that was a rumba, it was quite fast.

He will be safe though, obviously has a big following.

Me three - usually the Dead Nans come out in force for the CC. I’m just not seeing anything special in that rumba.

I like Tess’s dress, down to hip level. Below that, no.

It was a really sweet rhumba

Well said Craig. It wasn't a Rumba.

No, I agree with Craig

yay Craig

I'm with Craig there.

It's like the other week isn't it when George's main problem is Alexis. :(.

My mum died of cancer too and all grandparents are dead. I don’t think that is something I would bring up in a competition though. It would feel too manipulative and exploitative

Also agreeing with Craig. That’s on Alexis though.

Soz.

Does Alexis choreograph the rumba or is that one where they get an outside choreographer?

I don’t think George milks it. He says it, and he’s honest, but he doesn’t do it for sympathy, to get sympathy from the listener, as so many people make it me, me, me, he really doesn’t.
