I am sorry I will say this, he is not the right colour. The only black contestant who has gone on to win was Alysha Dixon. Oh and Mark Ramprakash. Both mixed race. Even Natalie Gumede who was IMO a lot better Abbey Clancy got a lot of pasting from the media and people on here for being a ringer. This year there are more than 4 ringers and there's hardly a bad word said against them. Sorry to bring race into it but it does play a big part.
Its a shame really. Brave person, you brought race into it. I have to admit that, on British TV shows, black people rarely win. Just my humble opinion. Back on topic: Simon hasn't made a bad career move. The show is going to make people more aware of him. Plus he isn't the only one with a busy schedule. |

I still like to believe that Britain is a land of equality and any person who makes a contribution to society is respected regardless of age, gender or colour. One can only live in hope.Pixie has a very busy schedule too. I like Simon and it seems the other contestant like him to. I notice on here people see things that are not there. Which is a real shame.

Simon didn't come over well early doors. The audience were shown what could be interpreted as arrogance. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression is what is at play here I suspect.

I would imagine the people who have loads of other stuff going on are the people who want to do Strictly the most. Lots of lovely promo for said other projects.

I know nothing about "boy bands," even the name puts me off, so I had no knowledge of Simon. But for a "boy band member," to reveal he has an eighteen year-old daughter, as he did on ITT as I've been told, won't do much for his street cred.
