True. I heard that from the horses's mouth myself.

I know neither is perfect that's why I'm so Brian Conley is too cheesy and ITV , Frank I just can't see in a dickie bow every week. He's so clever and quick though, he would be able to be really supportive of the celeb couple having a hard time from the judges and he'd come up with some great put downs on the hoof.

I think Dermot would be perfect, but he's never going to do it and I just can't think of anyone else like him. But that's the sort of person they should be going for.

What? What did you hear? Come on dish the dirt!

If Dara isn't to be a contestant I'd love him to host.

He's a hard core The Fall/music fan, really can't see him being able to introduce Dave Arch etc and keep a straight face


Well, the obvious choice is the person Dermot aspires to be - Ryan Seacreast, they couldn't afford him in a million years, and yes he is cheesy, but he's also an excellent live show host

Another vote for Dara. I think he's rather sexy

Went arse-over-tit on the High St today. Mortified. I fell on my arse, rolled over and then slid downhill (was like an ice rink)
Best thing to happen though, is they forced us out of the building to close early and told us not to come back to work till the new year. woohoo!

I think Frank's more professional than that! I also think he'd find a less cheesy way to do it that Bruce does, he wouldn't say the same thing in the same place every week!

And Ryan's just wrong on so many levels, too cheesy, too perfect, too saccharine, too American, just too everything, too ingratiating, not funny enough unless being rude about Simon Cowell . I actually think that Dermot's better than Ryan. But we'll soon find out if Dermot does the US version of the X Factor.

Years ago I had the honour of looking after the late great Tommy Cooper for a whole day (sometimes my job is wonderful). We did a lot of sitting about drinking tea and got on very well. He told me all kinds of stories about Tarbuck, Morecombe & Wise and Benny Hill and their peers - and the girls - and about the whole music hall, comedy, telly-show world, but swore me to secrecy He was very naughty and very funny. Like a wonderful, sweet sad clown. Very melancholy man underneath it all

You have my sympathy, but the mental image that gave me did cause a snigger

Actually, Dara I could get behind as well, suspect the judges might be slightly terrified of him though

Oooooh, result! Yay!

I don't get the Dara - sexy thing at all, I think he's a lovely man, very intelligent, very witty, very quick-thinking, but sexy - nope, not for me.

Glad you weren't badly injured! My dad broke his ankle last year in weather like this. My mum now won't let him out of the house until the snow is all gone.

I'd love it too, but he wouldn't do it in a million years. Not on your Nellie!

I think he's as sexy as hell. A man who can make me laugh and understands quantum physics as well? And those eyes?

Oh yes.

Yes, they would be. He's far too clever for them. I think he'd tease them unmercifully too

But, as I said before, he;'d never do it. There's no intellectual angle for him to get his teeth into, and he needs that.

For me, the bit in bold is what makes him sexy

Annnnnyways - no chance of Dermy at all. He's sold his soul to Simon Cowell and the chances of him being allowed to swap to Strictly would be a bit of a no-no

Sofakat - gosh ... jellus squared of the Tommy Cooper story. Bet the time just flew by.

Glad you only dented the dignity a bit there cymrugirl.

Noooooo! Poor sausage At least you've escaped now! Yay!

Had I been a bystander, I would have laughed my head off.
Prior to the fall I was walking uber slow so when I did slip it was like one of those comedy skits.


I have very odd taste in men. I find Steve Buscemi sexy too

I didn't think I hurt myself but I may have been too numb to feel anything at the time. My hand has started to hurt but otherwise I feel fine. Felt bad for the elderly people trying to navigate around...quite angry they didn't do more to make sure they would be alright.

*has horrible thought*

I don't suppose they could be considering SSF for the role of replacing NotDead?

*shudders*

Unappreciating that I need to go to the gym to do my physio but I'm scared to leave the house in case of falling.

Oooh, be careful.

I hope that SSF isn't in the running. Truss him up in a suit and dicky bow, and make him stand under those studio lights for an hour or so and he would just be a greasy smudge by the results show

There are some weird looking men that I find attractive, I just can't think of any now.

It's usually men that make me laugh too, I married my hubby because he made me laugh as well as having the most beautiful blue eyes and he would love your story about Tommy Cooper, that's his hero, so it's nice to hear he was a nice man, Kat.

Oh, I used to find Alan Davies really attractive, but now I just think he's a bitter tit (after listening to his footy podcast), that might have something to do with him being an Arsenal fan and me being a Chelsea fan.

cant abide the man but was quite impressed with his appearance on Who do you think you are. Was quite moving

I keep recommending these to everyone - I bought mine in the States years ago, but they are similar to this and a real life saver, they come in different styles too.

Excuse me, why English

Thank you! mwah.

I love Alan Davies because of his hair. He wouldn't have to say anything, just sit there and let me get my fingers stuck in the curls

Dara - gorgeousness personified. It's the combination of intelligence and humour that's completely irresistible for me.

But my really weird secret crush is Charles Kennedy.

Nobody read that did they?

Never thought he would do Your Fired
