Apparently funny and entertaining that Ola does this to Chris during training.

I wonder what would happen if Anton, Brian or Vincent adopted this training method?

... or if Craig RH told a female celebrity to get botox. Poor Chris he is getting the short straw this year..

So many double standards when it comes to nipples on Strictly.

I think Chris should do it back to Ola -- I believe in giving "tit for tat"!

She'd give him his back teeth to play with if he tried that!

So if Ola wouldn't like Chris to do it to her, she should not really be doing it to him.

Just wondering, have you not noticed a slight difference between Ola's breasts and Chris's chest ?

There is a considerable difference between them, indeed, but it is still inappropriate touching which wouldn't go unchallenged the other way round.

I suppose it is determined by society norms ie it's acceptable for men to go naked to the waist and not women. In western society men's chests are not regarded as being the same kind of sexual area as women's. So the pay off for being able to flash your nips without being prosecuted is that the occassional tweak is to be accepted in good humour, maybe ?

I'm not sure I'd agree. Clearly men are able to display more of themselves because it is culturally acceptable, but I feel really uncomfortable seeing Ola being rough with him in quite that way. He's been put in a position where complaining about it would be quite difficult I think and I don't think men should have to have that sort of thing happen to them any more than women should.

If he did not like it he would tell her by now. I guess they have a little S&M thing going on

Oh good point. So therefore it'd be ok with Chris grabbing Ola between the legs because of course she doesn't have anything down there like he does?

Hope James doesn't find out or there'll be more than Chris's nips being tweaked!

When he starts doing lifts he probably will be.

Oh Dusty. Great minds think alike.

It makes me wince every time she does it.

It's not big and it's not clever, and she should STOP IT.

Hi STG - I'm probably sounding like a fusty old fuddy duddy, but it comes across to me as bullying of a sort. It's odd, because I think Ola and Chris have rather a lovely relationship overall - but seeing that sequence of nipple tweaking didn't seem appropriate one little bit.

I agree with you both...watching that was very weird and uncomfortable, and I kept thinking "What if he did that to her?" I thought maybe it was some kind of cultural thing, but that can't be it. Oh well, I wouldn't do it to anyone on national tv.

I thought exactly the same.

Nipple tweaking, Yeah baby, Ola chops - God give me strength!

All that crap is getting beyond boring.........

Surely it is only a problem if Chris has a problem with it. If he's okay with it then it's none of anyone else's business.

So if Chris did that to Ola and she was fine with it, it shouldn't be an issue to anyone else?

I can see James having a problem with it! I don't think it is the same thing the other way around, but still, if Ola was happy with it then I don't see why it would be any of my business.

I don't think Chris minds! He looks like he quite enjoys it. And they seem to have a fantastic relationship.

Very true, I was going to post a similar thread. I think Ola is a bit of a sadist . Chris is a lovely chap and no need for it. Can you imagine the outcry if Brendan or Anton adopted this method.
