I have a deep desire to cut Maks hair in that pic of Cheryl and the cast
Peta is soooo thin..yikes..”
Yes I remember that Dance X. Thinking back to all our dancers on Strictly at that time, I doubt they would have gone for such young dancers, even though Mark and Derek are really talented. It's only since Artem that the tide has turned, and they maybe realised a bit too late they need fresh and exciting talent to revamp the show. Probably don't want to upset some of the originals by getting rid.
Peta looks better close up in that outfit, it made her look stumpy on Youtube, when she is clearly, slim and tall, how they managed that is anyone's guess
