I thought he was fine this week.
He was chuckling along at the Judges' and the guests' jokes.
He was congratulating all the dancers and pointing out the standing ovations they received.
His jokes are still laboured and painful at times, but to label him a "nasty, nasty piece of work" clearly crosses the line from a casual annoyance to an irrational grudge.
I suggest next week, as the show begins, you just take a deep breath, count to 10, maybe have a stiff drink to steady your nerves, and... just relax.
Let all your annoyances about Brucie just wash over you, and enjoy the show.
