I think with Joe there was a fair chance he could be made a dancer - young, fit, good looking. I don't think the BBC worry about dishing out celebrities in that way (apart from ensuring the previous winner is slightly handicapped) and nor should they - look how well Lilia has done in the past with non-dancers, Ola with Kenny and Katya this year with Gavin. It's up to Kristina to work with what she gets.
When she was allocated Joe last year, certainly MY expectations of them were pretty high. A world-class boxer would - I thought - have been a much lighter mover on his feet.
Sadly, I was wrong, wrong, wrong!! I'm sure the production team thought the same.

She does. Look how far she took John Sergeant - her choreo for him was genius.
