All he's ever asked for is for his partner to give the training 100% - he's a perfectionist, and wants to win... So he has a lot of time for partners who do give it their all, and he's also got a sense of fair play...... He felt for Cherie went she went out because of Sargentgate....... She was a great dancer, who went far too early, and lost out to the awful and unpopular Lisa Snowdon in the dance off as well - her elimination offended his sense of fair play!
He's now one of my favourite pros.... And I'm sorry to see him go”
completely agree with this, James is now my favourite male pro dancer and I was sorry to see him go so early but think it was the right decision, as
Poppysinbloom said, it was inevitable that he'd go early with Vanessa as his partner, at least he was in the competition for a long time last year

I hope so too

I've been saying this for years and hope he's back next year, was so pleased they marked James and Ola's 10th anniversary on Saturday
