Don't worry - we can't all trwl through pages of mush before we start a new thread. It's a shame they have been dropped - I wonder if they'll be back on the main show next year?

James is getting the slap on the wrist he so richly deserves. His behaviour has gone from irritating to unacceptable. If I'd been the producer on the show last week when he was standing behind Jason Donovan, mocking him, I would have turfed him out of the Tesspit and made him stand in the corridor.

Alex and Robbie were not doing the tour when the pro's were announced, therefore they were no longer needed. Subsequently Robbie changed his mind and Katya agreed to tour.

I got this info from James, I'm assuming the tour organisers didn't think Ola would tour without James.

I do know they were struggling to get ex celebs to sign up. I have no idea if James and Ola will be part of the Professional tour Craig is producing, one of our posters on the K & A Appreciation thread works for BBC Worldwide and may be able to enlighten us on that early next year.

That's interesting, and makes a lot of sense, especially as I'd heard Katya was booking various other events for next year, and she's never toured before. But I don't mind that she is, it'll be nice to see her dance on tour.

I'd thought they switched, because height makes it far more sensible that Mark Foster dances with Natalie.

STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has told Ola and James Jordan to stop "moaning" – admitting that it was HIS decision to boot them off the show's tour.

Craig is coming over as very petty.....

James and Ola mentioned ONCE on twitter that they weren't on the tour - and hadd been informed of that via email rather than being told face to face - hardly "moaning"

I'd rather watch Robbie dancing with Ola than Katya. Ola got him to the stage he got to - so why shouldn't she tour with him? Katya had (from early snippets) a much more promising celeb at the beginning - but went early. Why should she benefit from Ola's hard work with Robbie???

I think Craig is telling a bit of a fib there, Ola and James were told they were not needed as neither of their celebs had signed up for the tour. The production was really struggling to get past contestants to join, Robbie changed his mind so a female pro was needed, Katya was asked as it wasn't thought that Ola would tour without James. Holly also turned the gig down as it wasn't her thing apparently.

I have this information as I know the team promoting this event as it is a BBC Worldwide Production, the same company I work for, although not in that department. It will be interesting to see who Craig employs on the Pro tour later in the year (another Worldwide Production) as I think that choice is down to him.

according the a VT on Virgin media it was something to do with Craig and the spats from James. Craig aparently has mused that the Jordan's need to stop moaning

Personally cant stand James, Ola I like but she has to put up the her petulant husband

Maisy Daisy are the hospital staff still solidly for Harry?
Bookies continue to offer Harry at 1 to 3, but Chelsee now reduced to 5/2.
This forum remains in head-on collision with bookies opinion. One side has to be wrong, and by a wide margin.

Mostly Harry, a few Chelsee (all young female ), not come across anyone wanting a Jason win though.

Have spoken to Aliona (DM on Twitter) and she is very confident she will be lifting the glitterball.

He had all of Wales and all of the rugby fraternity voting for HIM - not her.....

Rugby players support their own (eg Matt Dawson Kenny Logan and Austin Healey...) and are pretty good at keeping them in - especially as on Austine was really any good!

Well the Ola calendar I bought for OH for one of his crissy pressies arrived today, she looks very hot indeed.
