DJ Spoony - I have no idea how he ended up going out so early 
Forgotten Contestants
2 of 3
Emma Bunton doesn't seem to get mentioned much either - yet she got all the way to the semis with Darren.
I think many of Aliona's fans when singing her praises conveniently forget Rav Wilding - who IMO was at fault for him crashing out so early

James Martin - what Camilla did with him was amazing - he couldn't sance a step to start with. She worked wonders with him
Topaz - have sent you a PM

Carol Vorderman gets forgotten too- I remember when she interviewed Nancy Dell'olio on Loose Women just after the cast for this year was announced and Nancy said something along the lines of "I expect to see you on there next year, Carol!"
Diarmuid Gavin was just awful in Series 3 but didn't score as lowly as Quentin Wilson (8/40!) or be as comedic as Julian Clary, so seems to have disappeared from people's memories (although that fate has befell all of Nicole's partners- anyone remember Nicolas Owen's efforts?)”

Diarmuid Gavin was actually in Series 2 rather than Series 3

What I would like to know is - Why hasn't he been on It Takes Two since Series 3 ended?

Sorry that was a typo (hence why I included Julian, Quentin and Carol in the same paragraph!)
Sarah Manners tends to get forgotten too- and she was the first person to experience "nasty Brendan".
James Jordan's first partner tends to be forgotton Georgina - I remember he had quite a rocky relationship with her. I'm not sure whose fault that was because he got on well with all his subsequent partners - perhaps he learnt from that!

She did Strictly African Dancing (as hosted by Martin Offiah, I think)
David Dickinson didn't make much of an impact.
Funnily enough, I do remember Esther and she did quite well, better than expected. She was a good sport too.
The Dan bloke at the beginning of this series seems to have been almost forgotten already, I can't remember his name.

Yeah he told her to lose weight!! Cheeky git!!
Jason Wood (sadly no longer with us)
Gabby Logan (because she was undermarked and left way too early IMO)
Don Warrington
Gillian Taylforth
Phil Daniels
Georgina Bouzova
David Dickinson
Verona Joseph (who?)
Dennis Taylor
How about a thread for forgotten pros? IIRC, most of the pros from the first couple of series only appeared once and didn’t make much of an impact.

Claire Sweeney! She may have been a good name for Strictly, but half the time I forget she even did the show.
A couple from series 1, Verona Joseph (Holby City) and Jason Wood.
Series 3, Jaye Jacobs and Will Thorp.
A lot of people seem to forget Christine Bleakley did series 6 before she was as well known as she is now.
Heather Small? I think a lot of people forgot about Mark Foster until he was announced for the tour.
Mica Paris.

Yep, in Series 6- she was terrible.
Mica Paris is a good shout- and went way too early in my opinion (Jan or Georgina should have gone that first week)
I think some people may have done better if they were on a later series, for example Jaye Jacobs is now a star of waterloo road, she wasn't terrible at dancing so she could have got to week 5/6 this year probably.
Not sure if there are any 'Pointless' watchers? "Contestants of Strictly" has come up I'm sure...the professionals definitely have.

Or Jelly Wallace as Brucie preferred to call her.

I remember he did some awful joke about a trifle once, which didn't really go anywhere lol

I remember that now! If any man said that to me their life wouldn't be worth living! Georgina didn't even need to lose weight but even if she did - it was stupid of James to say - it's not exactly going break the ice is it! No wonder they didn't get on.......at least his attiutude towards his partners has improved even if he is still a d*ck head in other ways!
