Oh that is beyond pathetic!

A solicitor's warning letter is completely different to actually taking someone to court. An action for something as trivial as that could open a whole can of worms and lead to lots of things being disclosed in court. I also suspect the judge might not be too happy about his time being wasted.

The original report in the media what that she was planning to sue Bruno over his comments. Nancy was asked about this in an interview and confirmed it was a only a warning letter. She's not a stupid woman.

OMG she sent a letter to Bruno!!! Please tell me you're joking..I'm speechless at the nerve of the woman

A solicitor's warning letter is simply that. A letter, written by somone at a solicitor's office, on solicitor's paper. It's no more an "official document" than junk email from an estate agent.

In fact, what usually happens in these cases is that someone threatens to talk to their solicitors - which is even more trivial, and of course, far cheaper, because it's free to threaten legal action, of course, whereas solicitors charge for sending letters.

And in fact, if you look at the reports, that's precisely what Nancy did - threaten:


Anyone can "consider legal action" for anything.

I can "consider legal action" against my local cafe for charging me £3 for a fairly-average sandwich this lunchtime.

The differences between me and Nancy is, I'm not gloriously bonkers, and I'm not famous for sleeping with a mediocre England manager.

They all say that......................

This is the interview if anyone wants to read what she said about the letter that was sent to Bruno.

Hasn't Alesha opened her legs in music videos? It's besides the point but you do have to laugh.

And to think that I was defending her at times in this forum(thinking that people were a bit cruel towards her).Maybe she really was every bit of a Diva as it was reported.

We're not heading down the same road as the crotch clutching thread are we?

You've got to feel sorry for Alesha, all this time she's accused of not making comments of substance and one of the first times she does someone threatens to sue. Sometimes you just can't win.

From that article:


See, someone really cynical might notice that at no point did she even say that her lawyers sent a warning letter.

She says that "I did send a warning." and she says that "My lawyers are really ready to do anything".

Of course, only a true cynic might suggest that "sending a warning" can mean anything. None of which would cost Nancy anything.

I must have missed her Rumba Competition music video, please send me the link?

Failing that, perhaps you could stop making such irrelevant comparisons?

Can't seem to open that link...

No legitimate dance shoe company is going to get close to Nancy.

What on earth is she famous for?! And what does she do for a living?

oooh, just think, we'll be getting a meaty, gossipy "Strictly back stage by N d'O" - I even bet some people might buy it

I'm also hoping that maybe you can string two dance steps together without a) leaping on Anton and flinging yourself into an upside-down lift b) counting to eight, out of sync with the music and/or c) falling over your too-high heels.

She daphne speaks like she's drunk, absoloo! She doesn't finish anything: words, sentences, dance moves...
I find her very tiresome, absoloo. And daphne strange (and not in a fun way). She's just in it for the fame. Famous for nothing!

Just watched the Graham Norton clip - John Bishop was nearly on the floor. None of them had a clue what she was talking about!

It sounds like another complete non-story from the Daily Fail

As for the comment about "a christmas tree without the lights" I agree. Nancy lighted up the dance floor.

Goodness cannot people see that the woman is master of tongue in cheek. Look at the way she majestically rose from her coffin, wine glass in hand. A dig at another Daily Fail story no doubt.

I will miss Nancy

We will just have to take your word for that!

have none of you ever seen Italian television?

Italians are always sending themselves up. Silvio Berlusconi is very fond of game shows with scantily clad women, that's what Nancy's had to be watching for years.

did you say games or game shows??

Nancy is there to ham it up, a bit like Vincent, but she's turned into the kind of joke she didn't intend. Her earrings falling off said it all really. She talks like a shambles and dances like one. Her real crime was to insist she knew better than Anton.
It was weird they went out that week though, it was a riot with them around. Everybody but Len joined in, and even he said he enjoyed it all

I've heard Terry Venables speaks of their time together with great affection

"I'm not convinced that her Day In the Life was any more or less of a spoof than anything else she says because I get the feeling she doesn't always know whether she's being authentic or parodic until she sees how her words are received. When she appeared on Newsnight, for example, Jeremy Paxman told her bluntly, "I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about." She says she was amused rather than offended, because the obfuscation was deliberate, but in truth I struggle to make sense of a lot of what she says.

Her eccentric command of English is a puzzle, for she was born in the US to an American mother, lived there for her first five years, and returned to study as a young adult. A friend of hers once said her English is far better than she likes to let on, and Dell'Olio quickly agrees, "Yes, definitely. It's part of the being funny, it's just a game." " QUOTE]


I find the highlighted quote from Nancy from that interview bizzare .I see nothing at all funny about sounding inarticulate .Surely speaking like she does makes her look stupid and daft and not at all funny ?
