I love him! He's such a great addition to the show, the best new pro they've had in ages I think.

Hope he and Susanna stay in for some weeks to come!

    What's with the Kevin FROM GRIMSBY bit? I have no doubt that is where he is from but why are they highlighting it?

    I don't know, it is getting a bit old now actually.

    Probably because so many of the dancers are international - nice to highlight some Northern talent :)

    When he first appeared I thought "Who's this dweeb?" but I must confess I've warmed to him since. Seems like a good 'un.

    He's my new favourite pro, absolutely adore him! ::o:D

    Can't really take to sussanna, but hopefully he'll have many more series with celebs more to my liking. :)

    I too am liking him, Grimsby or not.:) Seems to have a good sense of humour too. Did you notice when Suzanna said everyone would love him for 2 minutes one of the dancers piped up in the background - "That's all it takes" ?

    He's cute, funny, likeable, not too buff or orange, makes Susanna do plenty of proper dance steps.

    Best new addition to the show.

    He's a thoroughly nice guy as well as a great dancer. Wonderful addition to the show. I don't know whether Karen's happy demeanour this year is because of getting on better with her celebrity partner, or because her real life partner is there on the show, but it's a delight to see such happy people on my telly on a Saturday night.

    Oh, and for the OP, it's KevinFromGrimsby, you know - all one word. ;):p:cool:

    I think Zoe started saying it like that, though Bruce did point out where he was from in week 1 alongside the international new pros ;)

    Probably a bit of both :) I do like the atmosphere on the show this year, more so than usual.

    When all the new pros made a little intro film about themselves it was how he introduced himself and it's stuck.

    I think they should continue this new trend by referring to Anton as 'Anton from Light Entertainment Hell'.

    Or Two Minute KevinFromGrimsby as he's now known.

    He's so clearly loving being on Strictly, like a big Labrador puppy or like Hairy Dave with actual dance talent.

    Because most of the pro dancers are foreign.
