so happy that Joe won! great that he's got a hatrick now!

Have they given a date for Joe's album yet?

Rhydian's is out on 10th March.

I want to get both

So Joe wants to take part in Strictly Come Dancing next!

I'd love to see him in that

I can't imagine him in the jungle though

Joe would never go in the jungle. He only wants to do things which help him learn something new. Eating animal parts in the hot weather wouldn't do that!

Lovely interview on BBC Breakfast. Album out after the three-month tour!

Strictly ? well you never know with Joe - He's so versatile and would certainly tackle it with his usual can do positive attitude and good humour.

He did an excellent interview on BBC Breakfast this morning, discussing The Jump, his 55 date tour and 5th album. Very impressive and looking relaxed, confident and extremely handsome!

I prefer his hair like it is now rather than the shaven sides he was favouring a few weeks ago!

I've just looked at Joe's twitter and he mentions something called New Fake Reaction.

It's some sort of wacky panel show and is on tonight at 10 pm, ITV2

Tune into @fakereactionitv 10pm itv2 tonight!! Had a right laugh filming it!! Should be good!!! x

I taped the Fake Reaction show - rather a banal panel show.

There was one round, for Joe's team. The compere said a male strip/dance group would be coming on, and one of their real life dads would be performing with them - the other team had to watch their reactions to guess who's dad it was. It wasn't Joe's dad, so I bet he was relieved about that

They only stripped to their shorts by the way

I won't be tuning in every week - take away the language and innuendo, and it was more like a kids show

Joe has retweeted this:

i cant see @joemcelderry91 name anywhere on the Britains winter olympic team sheet?????

You never know lol but maybe not for the skeleton event.

Not long now for the start of the tour.

Joe will be performing tonight at the prestigious Make A Wish Foundation Ball at the Dorchester Hotel Park Lane London.

He'll also be on Radio 2 Weekend Wogan next Sunday to talk about his tour and perform live in the studio.

(Milos, the renowned classical guitarist who featured on Joe's Classic album, is also a guest I see. )

I will be performing a live session on weekend wogan this sunday morning On @bbcradio2

I've been reading through Part 1 again and Joe going through X Factor. People were so anxious when results night came round - also worried that 'this thread is so short' and that Joe wasn't getting as much support as the other acts

Yet here we are just over four years later, and of the 2009 contestants only Jedward (on part 26 ) and Joe are still being posted about

Olly's thread is still on the first page, but only just

My theory about the length of this thread is that we have the lovely Joe-Nuts forum so we don't need to post on here quite so much. Does this make sense?

Yes I see what you mean from that angle - what I meant was, that all the acts that were 'in front' of Joe during the run of XF (regarding the length of their threads) have fallen by the wayside. Even Olly has only reached part 2. So the only two that have sustained interest are Joe and Jedward

Aww I like this thread I understand what you mean Patti. I remember this thread being really quiet when Joe was on XF (I didn't start posting on it until after he won - I think before you really support someone it can be hard to understand why Appreciation Threads are needed).

Although JN is a great forum, which provides a fantastic site for all things Joe, I still think this thread has a place. You get a lot of casual readers of these threads. I know I read all the (active) ATs.

The threads are no longer going to be split into parts after 3000 posts though as the DS servers are more stable now (I read that on Alexandra's AT - posted by DS forum support ).

Don't forget to listen to Joe performing two tracks on Terry Wogan this morning and talking about his tour
