How many times did they have a pop at Dani & Vincent's supposedly diminutive stature?! It came across as stupid and immature to me. Yes we get it, they're a pair of 'Pocket Ponies' - get to the next point!

Very irritating, but then they also said the same stuff themselves

They certainly did.

I agree that got on my nerves too.
I'm waiting for the comments about the tattoos on the backs of her legs. And yes, I do find them gross!

He doesn't seem that noticeably short to me anyway, not that it'd matter even if he was.
Do we get 'tall' jokes about Jerry, for example? Surely the main thing is for the partners to suit each other?
I liked the way Vincent said when asked about his height, 'Well, my life's turned out alright"
My OH said he should have asked Tess whether she thought her height was a disadvantage!

Yes they should be well-suited to each other, but that's a separate issue. I just think it was a bit of a cheap shot, laughing at shorter people's expense. If it had've been once or twice, that would have been ok but it just seemed a bit OTT to me.
Lol, yes he should've turned the tables on Tess by asking that!

Who said that to him? Tess? i must've missed that....what a stupid cow!
If Vincent didnt keep bringing his height up himself, noone would bother.
He clearly has little man syndrome.
And yes the constant 'We are small but we pack a punch/have big personalities' type comments are so annoying.
But then again Vincent is just annoying in general. And Im not particularly warming to Dani, but she was better than i expected her to be so we shall see, the jury is still out on her for me.

I don't think that's necessarily 'Short Man Syndrome', if he's taking the p**s out of himself then he's hardly being aggressive about it. And even if he said nothing about it, I bet they'd still make their comments - just to get a cheap laugh. But still, heightism isn't a real form of prejudice is it - just a bit of fun

I don't get why Vincent has to make such a big issue about his height in every series . I mean it doesn't hamper his ballroom or latin . Unless its some kind of defensive strategy . Just get on with it Vincent and choreograph some great dances.
