MARKs Like A Smiling Cuddly Teddy Bear - Is Mark Your STRICTLY FAV Or A DUD DANCER ?


Is Marks stage role in drag as Edna in Hairspray helping him on his journey through Strictly Come Dancing ?

Also are Marks tiny feet causing him the same problems with balance as they did with Tony Jacklin who could hardly stand up straight at times during training ?


" Mark said: “I can’t wait to get started on Strictly and it’s amazing how Hairspray has helped the preparation.

“I’ve been dancing around the country for the last nine months so going from a dress to the Strictly costumes will actually be something of a relief.” "

What is it that you like about Mark or what is it that you don't like about him?

I thought he was going to be useless but he is not that bad at all. He's a bit wobbly but not too bad really

I agree Mark is a pleasant surprise, I noticed the slight wobbliness too, do you think its because of his tiny feet like Tony Jacklin has ?

Terry, please keep to appreciation threads. If I hadn't blocked you, I would report you for spamming.

This blocking thing then. Does it work?

I like mark. I like him more than the hairy biker bloke because he is a much better dancer.

I don't mind terry

A Dud Dancer? Glad he's not a Drivel Dribbler anyway.

Hi primer, its good to see you and your exquisite good taste, apart from Mark being a bit better dancer than Dave at the moment do you have any other thoughts about him, and do you have any idea about the reason for his wobbliness and if its to do with his tiny feet, if you put a Big Boy Burger on a tiny saucer its bound to wobble a bit.

I think Mark has a certain "loveability" about him. He is funny without acting the fool (like Dave) and has such a pleasant manner about him.

I really hope he stays around for a while longer. Terry, pls throw a vote his way for me - I can't vote from mainland Europe.

Wow! what about that from Mark and Iveta, an 8 from Darcy but only a 3 from Craig, the bias from Craig has never been more obvious, its clear that he wants Mark off The show, I'm sure The Great British public will not allow an injustice like that to happen.

Well I loved it.

Embarrassingly awful tonight. At least Craig is not turning Strictly into a joke

Were you even watching the dance? It only deserved about a 3... (and that's coming from a Mark fan!)

I thought he did really well tonight.Seriously,had a tall thin guy done moves like that Craig would be all smiles and compliments.The guy can move well.

I understand that you are a Mark fan, but seriously a 3 for Mark and Iveta's routine seems insulting after all the work and effort that they have put in, Craig needs to give Mark more credit for what he does on the dance floor, I do hope that Mark can win you over in the end and I am quite sure that he will, he has a unique effect upon people.

Did anyone else love Marks impression of Iveta on It Takes Two tonight? he is a very funny guy, he said on the show tonight that they are going to dance a straight waltz on Strictly on Saturday, I'm sure Iveta is going to come up with something really special for Mark, she is such a talented choreographer and teacher.

Zoe said on It Takes Two tonight that Marks amazing popularity with the viewers broke all the internet lines on Saturday night, she also said "don't let it ever stop" I think that we all agree with that.

Mark is a brilliant performer..


.....I just don't think his dances are strictly ballroom.

Iveta is just so creative with her choreography and the routines she puts together for Mark what a beautiful Waltz tonight. Even Tess said that she had a little tear in the eye.

Four sevens and Marks highest score to date and so well deserved, I can't imagine that anyone would begrudge Mark those scores tonight, well done.

I like Martin Pond.

Iveta's choreography for Marks Paso Doable on Strictly tonight pulled out all the stops again and was a fabulous routine.

Who else is warming to Mark ?

Craig made more sense than Bruno for Mark tonight, not very nice from Len either.

Mark deserved much better than 26, the audience loved the routine.

Its always great to see Mark and Iveta on It Takes Two, Iveta looks amazing in that little red dress but I wish she wouldn't scrape her hair back like that. Mark is such a happy chap and Iveta is always so positive and forward looking, it was great to see some clips of that itsy bitsy costume of Ivetas on the show tonight..

Who else is looking forward to their rumba on Saturday ?

I like Mark best. He is funny and he is a entertainer when he dances. Makes me smile.

That was a fabulous Jive from Mark and Iveta, Craig was so mean with a 5, well said Sir Bruce "Craig is like a FunFair Not Fun and definitely Not Fair" and as Tess said "You brought the ballroom to life" and they certainly did, well done guys.

We like Mark, he's so entertaining.

Every week the same I never no what dance he is doing was that the jive tonight ? and he got an 8 what a joke

The Lion King, well Mark was certainly the King of The dance floor tonight what a loverly dance.

Who else is loving Iveta and Mark tonight ?his best dance to date well said,

Badly underscored though tonight, such a shame.
