I think that only applies to the celebrity, not the professional, unfortunately. Although it would explain why some pros choreograph routines that are light on basics for their celebs! Whatever Anton has been paid to teach Nancy to dance, it needs to be doubled.

Well her dancing wasn't good to be fair. If he said her dancing was brilliant everyone would laugh at him. At least he's being honest I suppose

And that's putting it mildly.

As ever, the things people say, when transferred to print, are bereft of the tone of voice and facial expressions that accompany the words. I have no doubt that Anton said this with his tongue firmly in his cheek and enjoyed the laughter that would have followed.

Oh, and look out for the follow-up story tomorrow - 'Nancy might sue Anton.' Gotta give that woman's publicists their due - they're doing a cracking job.”

Thank you Peeve for your honesty about not liking Anton,at least after admitting it your saw his comments as being sort of OK. Others after your first admission would have launched into a tirade of abuse about him and his comments. As you said it has all been said before and no doubt knowing Anton he would have told that as well. Seems sometimes he just can't win.

Anyone else notice when Nancy and Anton got to do their "last dance" bit that it was a quite a long time before the other slebs and pro's came and joined them on the dance floor?

When popular couples leave all the others come and give them a group hug much quicker.”

Did you not notice that when they did come down they made for Anton firstly and either embraced him or kissed him.One of the first being either James or Brendan. So I don't see there was much time difference or attitude about him. I'm pretty sure by now that if they didn't like him there would be more stories about

But yet he keeps being invited back, so it would seem the Beeb don't have a problem with him

I can't stand Anton this series especially.I think it's bad form to mock or tell jokes about someone no matter how bad a dancer they are. He's way above himself I think.

If a quarter of what the press has published about Nancy I can understand Anton becoming over the top this series. Personally I would have battered her with a wet piece of cod!

Bad partners are his punishment for the P word comment i guess. It was probably a case of take the dross or bye bye

There is no fish involved in strictly. You must have been confused by Nancy's wide-apart legs.

So, he didn't really "Let rip" at all then.

I really hope he does, he has the right attitude and knowledge to do so. I really don't want Vernon Kay doing it, He seemed to be showing his understanding on the dancing on Friday's ITT

I agree with this.

Think about it , it must be hard to be forced in a way to work closely with someone who can't dance, has trouble with english and has a high opinion of themselves anhrew his dummy out of the pram.d still remain happy and cheerful. At least he didn't act like Brendan and James has done in the past and threw his dummy out of the pram.

Nancy and Anton are having a joke! People take all this too seriously. Nancy was hilarious.
