Classy departure

Just want to salute Tm for his departure speech and his grace and dignity in defeat.
What a gentleman. My hat is off to you Sir.

Missed it. IPlayer via Chromecast time.

I have been at an afternoon milonga ..

Completely agree- it reminded me of Deborah Meaden and Fern Britton's farewells- sincere, heartfelt, gracious and fun.

MysteriousOz · 19/10/14 - 20:04

And bless Natalie one of the best pros in my opinion and nicest

Rosie Primrose · 19/10/14 - 20:04

He's a sweetheart, I'm sorry to see him go.

IzzieStar · 19/10/14 - 20:05

That was one of the loveliest speeches I've ever seen given by an eliminated celeb. Very classy.

Also loved their departure dance. Felt very them!

[Deleted User] · 19/10/14 - 20:06

A true gentleman!

Mrs F · 19/10/14 - 20:07

agree with all of the above.

You can tell that the celebs that take part, it isnt all for the money but the joy of the programme, a rare thing

Just said on another thread that I never cry at shows like Strictly but Tim brought a tear to my eye.

Having said that I'm really hoping for another Blulu or Jan Ravens-style departure.

What (in brief! ;-)) did he say? I was watching Prof Cox and his universal wonders. I think he's (Tim's) a nice guy and I can imagine he was very thoughtful in his thanks to everyone.

Me too. He meant every word of that farewell speech. Such a nice man. I wanted him to doff his hat, the way he does on 'Bargain Hunt'.

Thanks, Tim, you were a joy!!

Tim may not have been the best dancer, but he scores 10 for his exit.

Beautifully expressed what his time on the show meant to him and I'm very pleased that he is taking that very worthwhile experience to his heart. Nice to see someone with the right approach and another great showing from Natalie who was the biggest part of making his time on the show enjoyable.

Pet Monkey · 19/10/14 - 20:10

Have only known who he is for a few weeks but that's all it takes -- he's a lovely guy and he had a great partnership with Natalie. Going to miss them

I'm not ashamed to say I was pretty sniffly myself

A true gent, and a sincerely nice man

lizzie_moff · 19/10/14 - 20:12

Truly a gentleman, gracious without a doubt, wish there could be more guys like Tim.

Can't remember what Lulu did, but Jan Ravens burst out at Craig "I hope you're happy!!" and I'm quite sure he was.... ;-)

Nothing momentous but he gave a believably heartfelt speech about what a privilege it was to be asked on the show, how he has benefitted and paid tribute to Natilie. But he delivered it in a way that was articulate and sincere and best of all left Tess no room to deliver her trite platitudes.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that

I expect Lulu's departure was just as gracious

Jan Ravens shouted 'Are you happy now?' at Craig and apparently there were words exchanged in the bar afterwards.

Bloody Lulu basically shook Brendan off in the farewell dance and did a feisty dance on her own in a way that expressed her sheer contempt for him and made it clear she blamed him for her departure. It was hilarious and cringeworthy at the same time.

mirandaweb · 19/10/14 - 20:17

I thought Tim was lovely. A true gentleman.

He's a lovely gent. I really liked the partnership with Natalie, they obviously loved working together and thought highly of each other. Shame it wasn't Scott in the dance off instead.

From memory, she thanked everybody involved with the show except for Brendan too! He looked relieved to be rid of her, and I can't blame him.

Sorry I misunderstood your earlier question.

Please pass it off to a blurry screen owing to somewhat misty eyes.
