Absolutely both should be back. Kristina should be given a fighting chance with a fit bloke, whilst Vincent should be given, shall we say, someone more challenged..... then he is around for the Pro dances but not long with a celeb, reasons being:
Regardless of recent revelations, I’ve never been a Vincent fan (so shoot me) , and his dismissive comments concerning events with Kristina have not endeared his persona to me in the slightest. Whether we want to admit it or not, feeling empathy towards the pro dancers is an important part of their appeal, and I just don’t with Vincent. Regardless of what went on, his lack of respect towards both S and K has been an eye opener. His naivety when dealing with the press has also been mind blowing (if you are inexperienced and paddle with piranha you will get badly bitten)!
Either he needs PR lessons or his management needs a kick up the rear (for not holding his hands while speaking to the press), or both! Unless, of course, we are in line for a big magazine spread where Vincent and Kristina declare themselves as a couple, timed for just before they confirm who is doing the next Strictly series..... there by solving Vincent’s image issues in one fell swoop..... Sorry, but I think his relationship with S is a dead duck, and I say that not out of malice, but speak as a single parent who found herself in the same boat as S, but saw the sense and walked away with head held high. Yes, it’s scary having a child on your own, and I had many sleepless nights thinking of the responsibility, but once the trust has gone it’s over. If they play away when you are at your most vulnerable there’s not a lot of hope. The fear never goes, it’s called being a parent! Sixteen years later I still get the heebie jeebies (I was young too, the swine....)
Either way, both Kristina and Vincent should be back on Strictly. Think of the number of times Tess could put her indiscreet foot in it, and Claudia would be beside herself with excitement...... They’ve got to come back just for that!
