I read the article and the headline makes it out to be worse than it was. To be honest he didnt say anything earth shatteringly bad!

It was perfectly clear from the begiining of the show that he had previous dance training- a YouTube vid of him doing tap was put on here before the series even started!

So what if he and Austin werent best buds?

We all know Craig is nice really...

Strictly is a oasis of honestly and genuineness compared to its rival the Fix Factor!

he's the lead in white xmas (i wouldnt exactly call that panto) this year in sunderland

Tom is an actor, shouldn't he be used to everything being fake pretty much/stage managed to an extent in his line of work?

Had a look at wiki earlier about him, where he was tought included music and dance I think it said as part of his acting trianing. Guild or Guildford it was.

On this article, I think Tom probably wasn't slating SCD, but just talking normally and they took it out of context probably to cause a stir in one of the Beebs popular programmes etc. Vested interests etc.

All tv is manipulated to a certain extent, if anyone has ever been to a studio recording, they stir everybody up into a frenzy and don't you dare not clap when the floor managers frantically flail their arms around.

As for the Fix Factor, it is all scripted and planned , hyped up, ready for the viewers to soak it all up unwittingly. No matter if they put an announcement at the start of the programmed telling the viewers it was fixed, they still wouldn't believe it.

What S Cowell wants, S Cowell gets, and you all better believe it.

I didn't like him as a contestant, thought he was a smug g++

Yes - first week 28 for ChaChaCha

None of that article suprises me. It all makes sense. Off course they are overlly nice to each other. Why would you clap and smile at competitors? Gav is the only honest one of them. It is all glam. Tess always looks fake to me.

Tongue in cheek, the journo reporting trying to do a typical hatchet job when there's nothing out of order in the actual comments.

Tom has put this on Twitter

There's not a grain of truth in the context of yesterday The Sun article.It's been taken from the Scott Capurro stage comedy show

Well, we shouldn't believe everything in the papers. According to today's, Scott and Natalie did a Charleston last night (it was a tango ) and Matt and Aliona got booed by the audience (it was Bruno that got booed ) )
