Pros and Celebs that don't get on

strictmachine · 02/12/12 - 00:29

The 'Brendan and his partners' thread has got me thinking about celeb/pro couplings that really didn't get on. Off the top of my head I would think Flavia didn't seem keen on Craig Kelly. What others can you guys suggest?

I remember Lilia had a partner that she didn't like, that behaved quite creepily, can't remember who it was though..

I think with Flavia it wasn't so much any dislike as exasperation with his delusions over his ability. We always used to laugh in our house at the bit before their vt in training when they look down the gun-barrel of the camera, imagining her as a hostage blinking out a message to us to please stop voting for him.

Perhaps I may be projecting my dislike for him there! I belly laughed at your blinking comment!:D

Karen Hardy and Gary Rhodes. I used to like this guy as a chef but went right off him after his appearance on SCD .

Me too Paace, he did not come over well at all.

Artem seemed to get exasperated by Holly Valance being a laid back Aussie

Didn't the Jordans fall out with Pamela Stephenson on tour?

Laila Rouass and Anton - apart from the obvious - and he was crap at Latin so she got bad marks

Oh I hadn't heard that about the Jordans and Pamela, do you remember anything about that?

After finishing her stint on the show in December, Hamela Stephenson wrote this article for the Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/dec/21/pamela-stephenson-connolly-oldie-power

Read from paragraph 5 onwards about how she viewed her relationship with James Jordan. I understand he was hospitalised shortly after for acute cringeing - and must have found being on tour with her in January somewhat awkward.

Didn't much like him as a chef either.

Karen stopped doing strictly after this,didn't she? NOW that's a bad partnership

Blimey! Being 18 I had little understanding of Pamela or her work as a 'psychologist' but that paints a pretty vivid picture!

Oh dear!

So James had to partner her on tour knowing that she fancied him so much that her family thought they were having an affair.

Awkward...... :eek:

He's not my favourite either.

I may be wrong, but I always have the impression this year that Louis and Flavia don't really like each other very much?

No - it took time for Flavia to understand how Louis works and trains, and for him to understand what he needed to achieve, but after a few weeks they got (and get) on like a house on fire.

Dom Littlewood. I felt so sorry for Lilia, he was a creep.

That is honestly hilarious.

I adore Pamela, but she's really quite eccentric at times.

I don't think Karen and Nicky get on at all. He barely tolerates her, despite her doing her best to make them appear close.

My god I hated that con woman Ellen on Casualty! :mad: Glad this was the series before I started watching Strictly!

Oh, Hamela. You pompous, cringe-making, self-absorbed lunatic.
