Yes!, i have a feeling it could be the last year for the pair of them!, The thought sprung into my mind when Brucie was doing his 'song and dance man act'!... that he wouldn't be back for the next series and, Tess, because it has been bantered about that Vernon is off to the USA, and obviously she will go with him!, so i think that could well be the end of her on this particular road.....

I hope so as well!......

I like Tess and think you are all being very mean

"Keeeeep dancing" Tess is beautiful and tall and rich, a figurehead of cheer bookending the begginning and end of every Strictly programme. Despite the gift of a voice with pitch, tempo, and colour to draw interest she makes inane smalltalk with cooples in Tessylum, deserving of four 10's for repetitiousness.

She is the teflon head girl who defied all attempts to unseat her. Understandable then that this tough cookie gets some strong teasing from this forum. We knock and tease only those we like and who can take it. Those we truly dislike we ignore and dismiss. If truth be told I would quite like to have Tess for Christmas lunch. But I would want to cross swords with her, so the dinner table may end up with more than turkey blood.

So Claudia and Anton for presenting the main show next year? Or what about Matt Baker?

You been at the antifreeze again?

Maybe they told her that they are keeping brucie for next year and she will have to continue listening to his inane jokes and lifting her leg at the start of the show.

yeah an 80 year old man with his hand up her dress every saturday night - the exact opposoite of fun

For you maybe, not for him. You do know he's trying to make sure her dress stays on. It's only curtain material run up by her gran.

Well, it was an emotional evening and some of that must have rubbed off on the others, even on Tess. You could see both Katya and Felicity wiping away tears (carefully, not to smudge the make-up) when Kara and Artem were getting emotional up on the Tessanine.

Still, much as I'd like to think that Tess shed an empathic tear because of everything going on around her, I doubt it - she lacked any kind of empathy when she twice gripped Kara's bad arm!
