Posher, richer, more attractive and much nicer than Fefster too !!!

Surprised no-one has yet mentioned that it's probably a bunch of Scousers, that would an understandable stereotypical response from our Southern members..

Wow...

I'm surprised the cops didn't catch someone tottering on their way out in Susanna's high heels because they had her hosiery over their face as a disguise. These philistine criminals of today just don't get the spirit of the show.

How sad that this happened

But shhhhh! Don't tell the Southerners how great the North is, we don't want them relocation and pushing our much more affordable house prices up!


(I'm Home Counties born and bred, 17 years of living in London and now live in the North, and I don't want to have to shut the drawbridge to keep that lot out)

There are many nice places in the North and in the South. I went to universities in both. But it is difficult to argue that Blackpool or Morecambe are not on a par or, given the weather, worse than Benidorm. But the same could be said for any number of dire British seaside "resorts" around this island such as Southend

Let's just examine the CCTV before we go blaming a whole region

B'pool Tower Camera 4

Brilliant.

great, love the lateral thinking

Mmm, I agree as an exiled (plastic) scouse I get fed up with those sort comments so I was waiting for them to appear hear too.

^^

Often those comments appear through the back door by someone wondering when they will appear!

Sophie, Abbey, Natalie all shared a dressing room and lost jewellery phones and ipads according to the Mirror today.

You would have thought the dressing rooms would have been secured with security guards watching out

Good point HB, and maybe I reacted as expected too!

Ahhh so that's where Natalie's hair went

You would expect locks but there again you wouldn't expect opportunist thieves - how did they come out of the ballot then when so many were disappointed?

The way it has been featured in the Mail this morning, you'd think it had been a ram-raid at Cartier's, rather than just another "sneak thief" in a dressing-room.

or locked!!!!!

Should have taken the judges '10' paddles while they were at it.

Bing! The security guards! Mystery solved!!!

Could they not have stolen the Strictly Glitterball then we could have a "comedy" VT

I saw a message from someone familiar with the area underneath the tower and he says all the stories in the press about tunnels connecting with all the other buildings in the area and running for miles are rubbish. They are blocked off.

You are from the Blackpool Tourist Board, and I claim my £5!

Meanwhile I crept into the men's dressing room and tried to disguise myself as Ben's jockstrap!

Hahaha good one

If that is true, then it is due to massive plundering by the South! The Industrial Revolution began in the North and Londoners would be missing a helluva lot if Northerners had not worked so hard down the mines and in the factories, etc. - for a miserable pittance - while Southerners sat on their arses and counted the cash pouring in.

But the hinterland is not wasteland, it is stunningly beautiful - Goredale Scar, Malham Cove, the Lakes, Holy Island ... Our greatest poets and writers came from the North. The South just leeches off the North.

Lol-ol
