and the lovely James Martin as well
Who's your favourite celeb not to win?
5 of 5
I've been okay with most of the winners, although plenty of dancers went out far too soon (Gaby Logan being the best example and I really would have liked to have seen what Martina Hingis could have done).
Natasha Kaplinsky deserved to win the first series, and although I loved Denise Lewis, I couldn't argue with Jill Halfpenny winning the second. Much as I liked Louisa Lytton and Emma Bunton, Mark Ramprakash was the worthy winner of series 4, as was Alesha Dixon in series 5; I supported her all the way through.
Tom Chambers won series 6 with that showdance, in a series where I didn't really have a favourite, unless it was Jodie Kidd. Neither did I much care who won last year, frankly, although I marginally preferred Ali Bastian.
However, the one that still gets me hot under the collar is series 3, where Darren Gough beat both Colin Jackson and Zoe Ball, both much better dancers, IMO, but of course they didn't have that bloody j******. I still haven't forgiven Erin for Puppetgate.

Colin Jackson and I forgive Erin for the puppets because according to DG`s book he had already one before the showdance had even started.

Zoe Ball. She and Ian were robbed

I also thought it was a bit sh*tty to introduce the dance off on the series 4 semi final, out of nowhere, poor Louisa.
There are quite a few really good dancers that didn't even get to the final.”

I think Jodie's tango would have been good as she nailed the attitude for the paso and the tango is a similar deal except ballroom which she was always better at than the latin. Bloody Christine's fans!! I could have predicted her tango would be rubbish.

Thanks for that, Tissy - you are a star. At last I can put all that bitterness behind me!
Colin Jackson was wonderful and he was robbed of the title, Zoe Ball was good as well and I would have loved to see Ian win, of all the pros he always gets the best from is partners and turns gauky girls into elegant ladies!

You are so right about Ian - from the little I've seen of his and Michelle's training clips this week, he's about to do the same transformation act on her for the tango. Sorry, off topic.

Absolutely to both of these but Gethin is my overall top favourite celeb who didn't win
