    I just read that on his twitter. He seems lovely (and a really gorgeous face to boot :o) Really loving their partnership. I'll definately be voting to try and keep them in; they've got fantastic potential.

    So will I from now on, we can't lose them yet !!!

    I really like them too! Like other people have said, being in the bottom two was probably due to her being practically unknown and Colin being a new pro. Luckily, they both seem lovely and Colin isn't bad on the eye either ;) I'm guessing they'll be more popular in the weeks to come.

    I really like Colin :) for me he almost makes up for Fred not being there!

    Judging by this forum and in the real world :p the support for Laura & Colin is beginning to build rapidly, i think we could see her for a while to come yet :) i think her biggest competition girl wise will probably be Jennifer, i'm really looking forward to seeing her progress!

    Yeah I saw that and added it later. I'm not a user of that so I couldn't confirm if it is real or otherwise.

    The twitter account is real - verified by Nigel Clarke who presented with her on a show.

    Colin just replied to one of my tweets, yay!

    I asked him if he could reveal what music they were using for their next dance. He said he wasn't allowed to say but promised their routine will be packed full of new tricks.

    He makes a real effort to reply to everyone that messages him. And I told him lots of us on DS are behind him and Lauren :)

    How lovely Sid. :)

    He's such a sweet guy; makes an effort to reply to as many people as he can. I noticed that he said that T&D put in the backflip, he actually had no say in the matter and he didn't like showing off. A few people on here commented today; he never came across as a showoff to me.

    Nor me Foxy, and he said that Sunday night was the first time he'd performed in front of an audience, bless!

    He's so cute :)

    Aw, that's really nice, Sid! Mind you, you'll impress him more if you get his partner's name right... :D;)

    Thanks, FF - I can't imagine he'll find that so easy to do if they progress further in the competition (as they should), because their popularity is bound to grow.

    Thanks for the info about the backflip, too; it's easy to forget that it's not the pros who choreograph the routines, but T&D, unlike Strictly, where good or bad choreography can be directly attributed to the partnership. It's one of the aspects of DOI that peeves me, because the judges frequently criticise the pairs for choreography that is not even their responsibility.

    Oops :o

    And I called him Chris elsewhere earlier!

    I was on the phone to a Lauren earlier. Sooo confusing. But I checked my tweet, and thankfully got the name right there!

    I'd like to see this wee girl do well. I had never even heard of her before but her skating was great. She seems to have a lot of personality too.

    It was awful to see her in the bottom three but i think given time she will start to win people over :)

    I worry about your viewing habits Daisy :D

    I asked Laura if she's doing any television interviews in the near future (cos a few of them seem to be) that we should look out for, but she says just magasine interviews at the mo :(

    She needs a new agent! I found that she's rep'd by Julia Champion who according to her bio used to be at James Grant, clearly she is doing a crap job for Laura.

    I think that T&D have a tendency to put in too many tricks and not enough skating, to the point where it can ruin someone's chances.

    At some point, he may need to take a stand against it, as iirc one of the pros did in one of the recent years. (Sorry for not remembering more clearly.)

    It'd be better if the pro's got a bigger say in the chereography. Some of the females are good skaters but we never see it because they are lifted all the time and there's always really similiar lifts and tricks chereographed usually in the same pro's routines but in different years.

    Well, however long she lasts in DOI, what's the betting she gets plucked out from CBBC and into something higher profile before too long?

    Aww that's nice of Kyran! ;)
    I'm glad to see she seems to be developing a fanbase now. I'd hate to see her go early.
