KEEP DANCING

He is out of his depth, I'm embarrassed for him. His daft outfit, his awkward interviewing style. He's a dancer not a presenter.

Emma is great. Should be Rylan with the though the other 2 just do not work.

Whatever the curtain drape thing was it looked stupid, dress jumpsuit whatever.

I still keep waiting for evidence of the incredible chemistry between the three presenters, which was given as the reason for choosing them

Loved Lacey Turner and Delta Goodrem 🩷 I'm struggling with the presenters though. I really think they should of paired Emma and Rylan

It's weird as yes josh is great at what he does but this isn't it. Emma is a natural. They really need to give Jojo the boot. I wonder why they ever thought it'd work? For a professional dancer he's so stiff and awkward. It's as if because he's flamboyant and wears silly clothes the producers thought it'd be enough

I must admit dress is an odd way to describe trousers and a top.

Awww I didn’t mind JoJo. I thought he did ok. Better than expected. My only irritant was him talking while all of the shrieking going on coming up the stairs. 3 is definitely too many to present though.

I read that JoJo was going to leave if he wasn't given a bigger role. It doesn't need three presenters and Josh looks like a spare part. Give Josh Jojo's role and Jojo can do "behind the scenes" or something. I'm hoping BBC will tweak things because as it stands, it's awkward and embarrassing.

It was hard to tell what it was. Whether curtains, a dress or what.
