I only used the word exhibition, as I quoted the words used by the previous poster, but we call them demonstrations or dems.

Helen George branded 'bitchiest Strictly contender YET' with 'superior attitude'

Well that's a shame the papers have decided that, I've been having a lovely fun time getting to know a brilliant group of people...

It's just more tabloid trash. Ugh, not nice at all.

Trying to nobble another great dancer?

For me, "a source said" = "made up" most of the time.

She always seems lovely, if a little bit reserved, and sounds rather hurt from her tweet.

Poor Helen, what a crap story to have written about you. and they put this poison out on a Saturday as well, they did this sort of thing last year as well. Ugh.

FFS

Just let them effing well dance and let us pick our favourite. Jeeeez poor Helen

Well even if a source has said this.......

Sometimes you don't want to talk too much to other 'competitors'. They just wind you up. Has anyone ever arrived for an exam and seen lots of people doing last minute studying of textbooks or moaning that they haven't revised such a such? Immediately your nerves are set on edge and you just want some space on your own. Well dance competitions can be a bit like that.

So as long as she is pleasant, smiles nicely and congratulates people on their 9s and 10s, she doesn't have to be best buddies with everyone.

True. And quite a few people have said they need space before they dance. But given the incredibly endearing way she jumped up and down at Jay's 10, I don't believe it's true, I think it's an attempt to nobble someone tallented and popular by playing on people's prejudice about her accent and slight brittleness.

I don't believe this for a minute. Perhaps she ignored one of their reporters one time so they are picking on her. She always seems genuinely very supportive of the others when she is on the balcony. She has a quieter personality than some who are a bit "in your face" and, as others have said, everyone approaches their performances differently, perhaps she needs a bit of quiet time sometimes. She seems lovely and doesn't deserve this mudslinging. I'll give her an extra vote tonight whatever happens.

I wonder who gave that alleged story to the Papers.

Ben may have upset Kristina by sending texts to Emmerdale's Gemma Oaten.

Aliona blaiming the Jay affair rumours:

Or the press making up a story with no input from Aliona at all?

I mean, a foxtrot on Saturday? Couldn't they even be bothered to get that right

It was 'A source' - which could mean someone sitting the other side of a desk in the tabloid office, reading back what the 'reporter' asked them to say.

That's as much credence as I give it.

no, trashy newspapers making up headlines to sell papers!

Just 'cos it's in the tabloid newspapers doesn't mean it's true

Reactions from Aljaz and Janette on the Helen "story" (/gossip/trash)

I shouldn't have eaten the baloney sandwiches they've fed me over SCD celebs.

An exhibition and a demo are probably much the same thing.

Steady on.

The bitter former contestant , James Jordan, is busy criticizing Jay in The Mirror - seems to be 'forgetting' that his last partner was the very trained Denise Van Outen!!! How does he justify that and his U turn on supporting Peter Andre - hardly a novice in the world of dance and performance.

James is pinpointing Jay only and ignoring that several contestants, Kellie, Helen, Georgia etc have had previous training and at more prestigious college.

I guess he has a calendar to promote and likes seeing his own name in the headlines

He is so predictable and should leave them alone.

because he is a 1st class dick and has nothing better to do than bitch

I know its no excuse but apparently Ola wanted to be paired with Peter as she has been asking him to do Strictly for years as they are friends, I take James is friends with Peter as well before they did the show pairings Peter did an interview on one of my local radio stations and when asked who he wanted to be paired with he said Ola as they were friends.

Well that explains James' promoting of Peter as the best thing to happen to Strictly ever and his constant digs at "trained dancers".

Oh dear more profanities, we have to remember that we are not watching Match of the Day.
