re the chubby comments - I saw Lilia in the flesh at Blackpool and she is actually tiny and really quite slim - I just don't think the camera's do her justice at all

Yes, in general I agree with you. Women do get far more comments about their appearance and looks, figures etc. I have though, commented about Darren's girth before! And so I think have one or two others.

I think you will just have to accept that some of us are long-limbed, slim-hipped coltish types. Can't help it. Sorry.

Nothing of her! Er..where were you looking?

Those catsuits are an abomination. Even on the svelte Ola, a red catsuit is hideous and does nothing for her. Very naff, in fact. And Lilia should steer well clear. Does nothing good for um...generous nether regions, chunky thighs etc.

Hey Hey!

Can we stick to posting our own opinions and lay of suggesting what others can or cannot say, if it isn't a direct reference to you?

It's called "board etiquette."

I didn't like the catsuit. I didn't like it when Ola wore one either.

Well that was rude

Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion. There is a difference between airing an opinion and using deliberately offensive terminology. In MY opinion.

I was objecting to the terminology not the opinion. So get off your high horse.

I didn't think the catsuit suited Lilia at all, not because she is chubby as others have suggested, but because she is short. It made her look shorter and wider than she is. For example, short women are recommended to wear knee length coats rather than long coats to make them look taller. In the same way, legs all covered up made Lilia look shorter.

Laila is always gorgeous, and has that rare combination of a fantastic body and face. She is delightfully proportionate as well - in and out at the waist, tall, and good boobs.

Ola also looked gorgeous in the charleston outfit. Which goes to show, sometimes wearing more makes someone look prettier! She looks good in those revealing outfits, but she really doesn't need them to make her look feminine.

LOL, if you people think Lilia is 'chubby' or 'fat' I'd love to see your faces when you saw real fat! Don't really love the catsuits on anybody, but fact is she's got an amazing, toned, healthy and mantainable figure.

The outfit wasn't her finest hour but I hardly noticed it beside the dreadful incongruity of Darren grinning inanely all the way through a song about the tragedy of breaking up!

Er... that doesn't conflict with my opinion that a good proportion of posters are considerably "chubbier" than Lilia is. Did I say everyone who posts on this thread is overweight? And you don't have to apologise for your figure, not sure who you think it bothers
Funnily enough, I was looking at Lilia

She's truly very small in real life (and very very pretty )

It's called counter evidence. Who it bothers might be you as you are the one who brought in posters' (alleged) chubbiness.

I meant where exactly you were looking.

It is surprising to me when people say she is tiny or very small in real life. Of course I know that television can magnify, but if she is tiny, Ola and some of the others must be downright minuscule.

When Darren and Lilia came on last night my first thought was wow she looks amazing ! my second thought was she's gonna get slatted for it on the forums.......................surprise, surprise !!!!!!!!

I too saw Lilia in the flesh about six months ago (in very short latin dresses) and she is indeed very tiny !!!!

I saw Lilia in the flesh recently, wearing non-dance clothes, and she was TINY, a slip of a thing. The catsuit emphasised every curve, it's true, but what's wrong with that? And whoever said she was 'pear-shaped' – she's just woman-shaped. Someone like Erin, with a slimmer-hipped body, would have looked good in that outfit, yes, but I thought Lilia looked wonderful in it too, just in a different way. There's nothing wrong with a woman being short, having noticeable hips, or having smallish breasts. Lilia looks fit and toned and, for me personally, is more attractive than a Camilla type where you can see the bones poking through.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I don't think it is counter evidence. Unless you know some of the posters on here personally, you're just speaking for yourself. Whereas the evidence for the GBP at large is that the average UK woman is a size 14. Hence my suspicion that a good proportion of the people on here calling Lilia chubby would actually be quite pleased to be her size!

Nobody would look good in that get-up. Even the very slim-hipped Erin would look naff. What was it - snakeskin or some sort of animal print fabric? Hideous, anyway.

Evidence! Evidence! Get out the tape measures, everybody! Span those thighs. Circle the hips. Don't forget the waist. All report back by dawn and gather for the formal declaration of results and maybe the final duel to the death.

I thought exactly the same thing!! and those of us who have actually met Lilia will know that she isnt chubby or large thighed. She is a healthy size 8 with a fabulous figure and I, for one, would LOVE to look like her

i thought she looked really well last night and i suppose if you've got it then why not flaunt it

I totally agree. She looked so much better than in some of her outfits. I guess sometimes more is more!
