Laila nad Anton are the only saved couple not to appear on ITT on the Tuesday after they were saved. Is there any reason why they weren't on last night ? Was Laila nursing her 'injured' ankle again?
Maybe she is nursing her injured soul at being stuck with Anton for another week. I'm begining to pity her even more than I did Flavia. Will her torment ever end?

No she has work commitments in Morocco and will be back later today or Thursday.
I wonder why Claudia didn't say that then and save all this unnecessary 'speculation'?

I like Laila and Anton and I think Laila is very graceful in the ballroom. However, I don't have high hopes for their rock and roll dance . I think they may be out on Saturday, I'd say certainly either them or Natalie & Vincent.

They have Charleston.

Is this true? Has Anton gone with her to keep up with the training? I would really like to see Laila in the final.

I hope this time in Morocco doesn't affect her dance routine now that we're a hairs whisker from the final.

Do you just cut and paste this continual invective against Anton?! It would just be nice, once in a while, to see your point of view on something other than this man who you clearly regard as worse than Nick Griffin. What a shame that you'll have to re-do all your posts when the series ends and the full facts are finally out there!

How would Anton train with her when she's going to spend all her time getting her kit off for GQ mag?!

I'm wondering what "facts" will be available to us that aren't in the public domain already.

It's a country where the religion is largely Muslim. You are either ignorant or very rude.

We are talking about Morocco not Saudi. Spain is a country wher the religion is largely Catholic but what does that mean in practice? Greece is mainly orthodox and Turkey is mainly muslim but they are all tourist party destinations

I know Laila peed a lot of people off with the shennanigans surrounding her ankle, but she and Anton have delivered a handful of pretty decent dances during their time in the competiton and are by no means the weakest link.

Their Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz and Paso were all pretty damn good.

Rock n Roll will be am almighty challenge, but if they are lucky enough to get the Charleston then they stand a chance. The dance suits Anton's character perfectly - he just needs to get Laila into it as well!
I am one of those she peed off. I'm afraid I found her whole behaviour over the ankle just completely ridiculous and over the top and I can't support her any more.

She's just one of those good contestants who never wow - she's...ok. She's less ok at the latin and couldn't care less about trying to perform it anyway, which is even worse. I can't even contemplate their showdance if they got to the final! Anton + Showdance = FAIL!

I think it's her time to go this week, and maybe with a different partner and if she hadn't made a song and dance over her Rhumba performance she'd be a potential winner, but it's not to be IMO.

When jane Seymors father died during her time on DWTS, she flew over to the UK with her dance partner. I simply thought Anton could have gone to Morocco to do at least some training.

I got to disagree.I think she should great courage unlike others in dancing on and not putting the competitions integrity at stake

To be fair to Anton, I think he could choreograph a lovely, romantic ballroom-based showdance if he ever got the chance. As Camilla demonstrated to great effect with Tom last year, the showdance does not have to be full of muscular lifts and certainly doesn't have to be Latin-based.

1. So you're happy for the poor license payer to fork out even more money to fly Anton out there just because of a decision taken solely by one of the celebs?

2. At the risk of repeating myself; just when would they have trained?! She was in a photoshoot for all the time she was in Morocco. Where woud they have trained? Who would have supplied the music?

Do forgive me, I'm genuinely not sure of the point you're making! The photo shoot is in Morocco but it's for GQ magazine in the UK, so I don't understand what the religion of that country has to do with this, or why you think I'm being either ignorant or rude! If I've misinterpreted what you've implied then I'm sorry.

I think Laila is beautiful and takes it all very seriously. I was so sorry when she hurt her ankle but she got over that one. I hope she stays in a bit longer.

Morocco is in North Africa not Spain..
And London is in the UK not the North pole. Any other interesting but random facts to add to the conversation?

At £17.99 for an Easyjet flight!!! I know things are bad at the BBC but they aren't that broke yet. How far away do you think Morrocco is? Its one of the cheap destinations. You obviously think it is so far away that they haven't heard of MP3s or CDs to supply music either but I assure you in time zone they are also in the 21st century.

PS Nobody works 24 hrs a day on a shoot. He could have gone if he wanted to presumably and other pros have traveled with their celebs when they have prior commitments. He either chose not to, wasn't invited or was too nervous of his reception to venture there.

1) Yes I would be happy for the BBC to pay for Anton to fly out there. If they can pay Jonathon Ross £6000000 a year, then I'm sure they could afford a flight for Anton and a small film crew to fly over.

2) The photo shoot would not have taken up a huge amount of time, they could easily have slipped in several hours training.
