Did anyone see them? Gary comes across so well, and so does Maria. She's a lovely woman. Gary seems really humble and modest, you know, considering he's such a hot piece of a*s.


Also, for any other Gary fans, I think he's on All Star Mr and Mrs this Saturday.

I watched it and it was a nice change to see that the Pro skater got a look in, I think Maria had more to say than Gary!

Yes, I agree. It was really nice and it was weird seing her in regular clothes.

They both seemed lovely and looked lovely too,especially Gary.
For any fans Gary is in an episode of Missing on BBC1 Monday afternoon at 2-15.

I can't understand the posters who complain that she always gets the best partners - she's a professional trainer not a show skater so it makes perfect sense to pair her with someone with the potential to get to the latter stages - why would you put your best female coach with a no hoper

Before everyone flames me, apart from Ray none of her partners have had any dance/skating experience - who can say if Duncan and Gareth would have done as well with a different coach

I like her, she's pleasant, pretty, has a sense of humour, a nice personality and she's a lovely skater as well as being a great coach - good luck to her - I doubt they'll get much further this year though

For me it's the unfairness of it that I don't like. I think all the pros should get their share of strong & weak skaters. Also, if she is the best teacher of all the pros (am not sure we can definitively say that BTW) wouldn't a weaker skater benefit more from her expertise?

Hi - I see what you mean but it's only unfair if the competition is about which pro wins - on DOI they don't even get a mention, they're only there to coach the celeb.
I don't agree she always gets the strong skaters, Duncan and Gareth were very shaky at the beginning and Gary was so popular he ended up in the first skate off - then there's the tour to consider - if she'd gone out early she's be skating with Ray again which would considered unfair by some also unlike Andrei and Susie or Fred and Mel she doesn't get a pro routine, Frankie and Dan always get solo spots too so it balances out in the end
I'll shut up now, this is turning into a novel and I don't even vote
