Both Michael and Zoe are having a right go at Craig on twitter tonight.

Craig is my favourite judge but I thought he was out of order tonight.

Nice to see how loyal Michael is to Nicky

Nicky's not the greatest dancer, but they are all trying their best, and he really didn't deserve that remark from Craig. Uncalled for and nasty.


Craig is usually my favourite judge too, but he's really lost it a bit this series.

I did think Craig was harsh tonight.
Then again he's been much softer on them this series than in previous series imo. I'm sure he's probably said worse in the past.
It is nice to see the friendship between the boys though.

Deleted. Just saw it was Zoe Ball.

As Michael says" it was disrespectful to someone who has tried his nuts off for 10 weeks"

Thanks. Just saw Michael's retweet of this. I don't blame either of them. I did gasp at Craig's comments.

And since Craig is on ITT every Monday, I hope Zoe tells him to his face that he was rude!

Craig won't be there he's in panto

The reason I found it really nasty tonight was mainly due to the soft treatment he gave Lisa straight before.

yes I saw it too.

Felt sorry for Nicky, and thought he handled it very graciously.

Craig should apologise.

Ah, I see. Maybe he was rehearsing the part of panto villain tonight.

I do like that Vaughany still has pic of him and Nat on his Twitter rather than something more crickety.

Agreed but thought Nicky took it very well.

I was very annoyed by it. Craig just went straight for the jugular, didn't even attempt to make a postive comment. His remark about seeing the dance again was just rude!

I don't think Nicky is a great dancer but he's been giving it his all every week and didn't deserve that kind of a response.

It was unbelievable that Len was the only judge to mention Lisa's mistakes and to mark Nicky higher than her. And yes, Craig's treatment of the two just drew attention to the ridiculousness of the whole situation.

What did Craig say again, thanks

I have to admit I like Craig, but even so his remark to Nicky was way out of line tonight.

Nicky had the hardest task of all the couples, with the most difficult Latin dance (samba) and the most difficult ballroom dance (foxtrot). Compare this to Dani's combination of quickstep and Charleston which are quite similar - Charleston steps are danced in the quickstep - and use the same beat music.

Coupled with that, from what I have seen, although Karen Hauer is a good Latin dancer, her ballroom leaves something to be desired, which is a double whammy for Nicky.

Agreed.

I believe that Craig was right.

All I remember is him saying that we'll probably be seeing the dance again.

Which was completely uncalled for.

It doesn't matter if he was right Terry. It was the way in which he chose to express his critique which people have taken issue with.

I think you are in the minority on here. If you think it is all right to speak to someone like that then I'm glad I dont know.

Thanks.

Well seeing the others perform, he was right. Yes he works his socks off, but don't they all. Also Nicky bends his legs, doesn't look right. Lisa and Nicky, if there is any justice should be in the bottom two.

Zoe must be a Westlife fan to tweet rubbish like that, Craig has said far worse.

I was amazed at that. I was waiting for them to say something but not a word was mentioned until it came to Len! I haven't a clue about dancing but even I could see that Lisa made a complete hash of the Cha Cha and it didn't even warrant a mention by 3 out of the 4 judges. Nicky probably performed his routine correctly at least - I can't state that as a fact, because I don't know.
