I don't find his comments surprising at all because it's his professional job and like he said 'if you're judging it as a dance show' which he is, 'you have to go with Ricky'. It's not like he has any say about who wins the Saturday show.”
Quote:
“Goodman also revealed that he is backing Hollyoaks star Ricky Whittle to win the series over BBC Breakfast presenter Chris Hollins.
"The thing with the viewers is they love an underdog but they love justice more," he said. "As much as I love Chris and I think he's done a wonderful job, if you're judging it as a dance show you have to go with Ricky."”
Above is the actual quote I'm commenting on - I believe you've quoted from Len's remarks during the show last week and ITT?
I still maintain that the
Head Judge should not be advocating one of two finalists before he sees the performances.
(I have no preference btw except for fair play)
