Just been watching clips of Darren's progress on youtube (SCD 2005). Now that's why I kept watching...absolutely fantastic watching his progress and his Christmas quickstep was amazing. Wish this year's celebs made me feel as warm and happy!!

I like Darren but I wanted to poke his eyes out when his Christmas Quickstep pipped Gethin to the post on the Christmas special

Loved Darren - hes the reason i'm now a strictly obsessive

I've still managed to find couples who i've loved as much

Ramps - so shy in real life and then electrifying on stage

Then the best year yet when i loved Alesha, Matt and Gethin

Last year i loved Austin (still traumatised by losing him, but at least hole in the wall is on atm lol).

This year i loved the look of Ali and Brian together before the show even started and was praying she could move - show one i have my new warm and happy favourites

Theres so many things i can find to love about strictly and having a favourite just adds to my viewing pleasure!

literally took the words right out of my mouth

I loved Darren in the show but he was a bit of a let down in real life.

saw him in some advert for a downmarket supermarket yesterday - he looked quite porky again

You should like watching Craig Kelly then, also can't dance and is wooden

erm...Darren had personality, loved dancing, improved weekly and was very light on his feet...can't think of ANY comparison to Craig Kelly....
