Yeah - but if you're off your face on whatever it might be, you don't realise that.

I quite liked the "...you both should have stayed in the coffin!" comment. She did look a little insulted by the 'your legs are so far apart and that's not very feminine". I'm not sure that it's entirely legal-case worthy, but hmmm...

Thoughts?

Has she shut her legs and let her mouth do the talking?

Rather admirable.....my feelings re. Nancy are as changeable and complex as the woman herself but good for her for standing up for herself is that's how she feels.

All I know is she's on a different celestial plain to me, but by the time she was voted off I was back to liking her again!

Nope, she's bent forwards and let her rear do the talking.

Edit: (That's probably what you meant - you were too subtle. Musht try harder ).

Agreed.....she could have danced the hokey cokey and in this house we would have all sat in a stunned, awe struck silence, jaws hitting the floor. Technique aside that is quite a quality to have.

Besides I was starting to find the judges lack of constructiveness and their flip personal comments at her harder and harder to stomach.....especially from Alesha who should be on the contestants side not chief back stabber.

Totally OT - love John Bishop.

I'm not an expert but surely celebs/pros/judges/presenters and anyone else to whom it might apply have got limiting clauses in their contracts about any potential legal stuff,given the inevitable nature of some of their interactions? Oherwise they could be suing each other all over the place!

To be fair, neither is Nancy.

Of course; they'll have standard liability insurance. If a legal action ever got so far as to actually require it, any payment would be made from that.

But it's so ridiculously implausible to imagine it getting that far, that only some who is < mad as a bunch of frogs / desperate to raise their profile via outrageous and stupid comments > would consider it seriously.

Yep - about 4 seconds' worth of reflection from a sane person would lead us to that conclusion.

Len's comments to Craig alone (for example "Nasty piece of work") are far more defammatory than some relevant and mild dance-related comment from Alesha.

What annoys me about this is that Alesha was right - Nancy's legs were too far apart, it was a totally inappropriate stance for the Rumba, and so that was a completely valid technical criticism for Alesha to provide.

I suppose admitting you're a professional mistress is kinda giving the game away?

I now have an image of her in dominatrix gear.

Mind you, that might well explain a lot...

Don't worry, my tastes don't run that way

But I was wondering if that explains her attraction to powerful men, there's that whole "want to be dominated" thing apparently.

I think you'll find it's the size of their wallet she's drawn to - no innuendo intended.

Sorry, I meant I wondered if that was what attracted powerful men to her, not the other way round.

I don't need to know what first attracted her to the millionaire Sven Goran Erikkson.

Well I doubt this story is true, it's all sounds rather ridiculous to me. I mean if she genuinely thinks she wants to sue then she needs to first look back att previous years of Strictly to see she hasn't really been treated any differently to other cleebs to take part. I think others have had far worse things said to them by the other judges over time. I'm sure (and hope) this is just a silly false story rather than a true one, as that would just be silly.

Oh, it's obviously a publicity stunt.

If onl;y because everything Nancy does is basically a publicity stunt.
