TBH I'm disappointed Russell has chosen to elect comparisons with the bigoted blob in this way. I can believe he is doing it out of genuine enthuasism for the show and charity, whereas TBB's 'retirement' in television after politics - which Strictly was meant to kick-start - has dropped off recently, and she probably hopes to get a few more bookings by refreshing peoples' memories of how "entertaining" she was, because she clearly held so much of the show in contempt.
But I think Russell would have been better off leaving it as was (barring an occasional appearance on ITT) - he showed he had some genuine dancing ability, looked like he was genuinely loving everything, made an impression but bowed out before he knocked out anyone who didn't deserve to leave before he did.
Gosh, that was a negative post even for one about Ann Widdecombe. I should probably get some sleep.
