Well if Sharron's Twitter didn't put a different slant on Sunday's show, this certainly does!

It's a bit epic but WELL worth a read. I'm really surprised at Chris! Never thought he'd be like that with Sharron. Also I agree wholeheartedly with her tribute to Pav near the end Heh heh.

See what you think guys!

It's really sad. I have to admit, I won't ever look at Chris, Jayne and Philip Schofield in the same way again (not because I believe every word Sharron said). Everything Sharron has said since Sunday seems to fit the facts (and I still think that she is behaving brilliantly and dignified). I think that was confirmed by Pavel who would not have supported her like that otherwise (he doesn't suffer fools gladly - as someone else on here as said). I feel honestly sorry for her, and I could have strangled Emma yesterday in This Morning, who stated that sports people aren't good teamworkers (indicating that Sharron wasn't a good team worker).

It's become a sad truth, that someone who has been representing Britain and won medals has to be censored by someone who (to be fair) has been a bit of a wannabee, with no real achievment to her own name.

I didn't read right to the bottom, things to do, places to go and all that but like you, I'm really surprised at Chris' reaction.

I never watch the bits before the skating because I want to enjoy the performance with any surprises that come along not have them spoilt by the rehearsals but even I figured out that Sharon had only changed the song because of health reasons.

I was gobsmacked by Emma's comments, as Sharon said, she missed the point entirely.

What people fail to realise, and I'm mostly including the judges in this, is that the celebrities have to go on with their lives after this is finished. They can't wreck their health permanently for one show for goodness sake.

To be honest, I thought Sharon should have gone out a few weeks ago but that doesn't mean that I don't think she put in a lovely performance on Sunday and the whole back stage 'squabble' should never have come into it.

I did read it all the way through and I'm amazed that the fact that every change was done with the full consent of the production team - who then chose to distort the facts in the VT. I'm also VERY surprised that Chris wanted her to persevere with the fast music even knowing about the injury and the associated issues.

I'm glad she has finally said what she thinks about Jason - and she has still managed to be dignified about it.

I also read further through it (and had a look at some of the pictures), one thing that is definitely right is that she seemed to have some fun with Pavel training for the lifts. However, I don't think we ever saw any of that on the VT's . I'm very disappointed about how this whole thing has been handled.

IT WAS MEEEEEEE! Hahaha



Definitely, she's been portrayed badly from the start. When I started watching this series I was really disappointed in her as I thought she seemed like a cold, stroppy control freak. It wasn't until I read her blog that I realised what a lovely, warm person she is and I was upset by how genuinely bewildered she was by her 'determined sportswoman' portrayal.

As has been said on this thread, well done to her for saying what she thinks of that odious little attention seeker and still come out sounding dignified!

Very interesting, but although she says she didnt disrespect T and D she hasnt explained why she didnt contact them to let them know she was changing her music when that was the main complaint against her. I might have missed that though.

I should have known it was you, as you are his secret stalker and my strongest competition.

It was really weird, when I first saw her I really liked her and I thought she came across well. However, the VT's were strange and they did seem to concentrate on the negative aspects. My other half (who is not interested in the VT politics) did like her and her routines. I think Sunday the VT and the behaviour of everyone was a downright character assassination. I'm really pleased you put up her blog, but I certainly have lost a lot of my admiration for Chris. Fair due if he wanted her to do it, and is disappointed, but to film this disappointment behind her back and be complicent in the whole "how dare she process" is ridiculous.

Maybe someone should forward this blog post onto Philip Schofield on Twitter and see if he bothers to respond, high unlikely Iam sure because it seems he made his mind up about her and wasn't going to be anything other than harsh about her.

She did tell him, and he said no - on the Monday. That's when she went to the production team, and they agreed to change the music to the piece that she would be dancing to in a week's time (she didn't ask for a specific piece). I think that is fair enough.

Very interesting reading. So he production team knew about the options and then chose to distort the facts. Why am I not surprised. ITV have done nothing about Jason Gardiner's bullying, name-calling and totally unprofessional behaviour but actually support the poisonous freak issuing comments that he brings something unique to the show.

Christopher Dean has gone right down in my estimation - never really liked his personality much but never thought he was a liar.

I am glad Sharron has put the record straight and we can see what has been going on. All I can say is I am glad I don't work for ITV and have to deal with the likes of Philip Two-Faced Schofield, Emma Bitchy Bunton, Christopher Dean and that appalling Gardiner creature. Any respect I had for Torville and Dean has gone right down the toilet. Their glory days were a long time ago and seeing the standard of today's ice-dance they are pretty tame in comparison. Now take me to the Tower of London.

This is a really interesting point I think. Because I liked her as a contestant. I always feel for those who are tall and have a connection with them, being five foot ten myself, and in moments she learned to be really graceful. So when Sunday came about I was shocked and dismayed. It seemed out of character for Sharron.

Looking back I think I can easily see that I was quick to judge and it was because I'm such a huge fan of Chris and Jayne. This really does put a new spin on things...

Hehe... I have no idea how we're going to settle this battle for Pav... 100M race? Pie-eating contest? A swordfight? Heh

Absolutely, just goes to show that often you don't get both sides of the story until it's too late, especially when there are a lot of egos involved! I'm shocked he would treat an old friend in this way for the sake of a show.


I get the feeling he would conveniently 'miss it' because 'he gets sooooo many tweets...'. Huh. Although, maybe in this case, can you blame him? In light of this new information it seems to me that if you don't toe the line with T&D you get your character assassinated! It might be self preservation on his part, you never know

Just let me get my handcuffs. Another thing (as I do feel strongly about this, I don't like downright nasty manipulation). If I was working for ITV, I would reprimand Gardiner for calling a contestant of their show a "cow" and worse on his public twitter thing. I'm really angry about this, because it gives such a bad example and they should do something about it.

I don't think Sharron's blog or Sunday's show are the absolute truth, that's probably somewhere in the middle.

Yeah, but in doing so he was praising T&D so he's the golden boy

Le sigh.

How very french. By the way, it just shows was an insecure person he is. Like kids on the playground who pick on the unpopular kid in order to be liked by the cool kids. And no I'm not picking on him, I have even mentioned that sometimes he gives constructive criticism (quite by coincidence I believe).

By the way, a sword fight would do nicely (my other half would love you). Give me the time and the place (afterwards, I will have time to fight off the remaining people in the queue).

This is from Sharron point of view and I dont think it is a truly accurate representaion of what went on , either . The long and the short of it , no matter how it is viewd there has been a serios case of lack of judgement and communication by all parties . Sharron on the programme and for me in the blog has come across beleiving that she was the injured party , I found her irritating and patronising and suspect other including T and D did too

Where the whole truth lies we will probably never know but certainly it looks as though everone could and should have communicated better to sort out the problem

The only problem with him being reprimanded is that if he had to offer an apology we would all know he didn’t actually mean it after it emerged his ‘apology’ to Sharon was forced upon him and he never meant a word of if after his comments on the DOI Friday show last week.

I think you are right, and I don't know whether a apology would be the right way to go about it. A gagging order on belittling or insulting any of the contestants on his twitter account for the duration of DOI would be more appropriate.

I worked in mental health before, and now I'm working with students as a lecturer. However, no matter how much some patients might have annoyed me or how much I dislike some of my students (not very many I hasten to add), I would not be allowed to post discriminatory remarks or insults on Facebook about them (I'm not on twitter). I would get disciplinary action for it. Why is Jason different?

I think unfortunately ITV have decided ratings and scandal are far more important to them than anyone’s feelings and will not do anything about him whilst the viewers continue to keep watching. What surprises me is how eager the contestants are to get a nice comment from Jason, if I was taking part I would try to ignore everything he says.

Sorry guys, but I don't think T&D are the ultimate villains here.

Sharron's blog has cemented the suspicion growing in my mind after reading all the available evidence - if she'd been able to spend a bit more time with T&D they'd have seen what kind of problems she was having and probably agreed that she couldn't cope.

Because T&D are zooming around all week and don't have the time to devote hours to each celeb, they weren't there to observe practice post-choreography, when the difficulties really started. Pavel - a professional skater and a very nice man - could see the problem developing, and did immediately help sort out the changes required.

It sounds to me as if all communication on the subject of the changes was carried out through those master manipulators, the production team - who, quite apart from making Sharron look as crap as possible in just about every one of her VTs, obviously didn't bother to communicate responses from either party to the other quite in the spirit they were intended.

There were rumours at the beginning of the show that Sharron had made herself unpopular. Now we know who she made herself unpopular with - and it wasn't T&D or the other celebrities.

So if you want to have a go at anyone, have a go at ITV for their Big Brother-style caricaturing. Sharron bad, T&D good, full stop - no matter what the real story is.

That is possibly the most accurate take on the situation.

It just confirms what i think about Schof, Emma and Jason. I couldnt work with people like that. Maybe you have to have a certain character to fit in Sharon clearly didnt.

Great post. This is what I believe is as close to the truth as we will ever get.
