I was about to make the same point until I read further back and realised you got there first.

Oti's widely reported exchange with Anthony Ogogo suggests she should learn to engage her brain before putting her mouth into gear.

Gleb is a very pretty boy but I honestly can't say I detected any personality about him. tbf it was the first week and some individuality might emerge in the weeks to come.

I thought he came over a lot better with Alison Hammond than with Abbey and, I suspect, Helen will be more in the Abbey mould i.e. a lot of angst and precious little humour.

I was surprised by how out of breath and sweaty Giovanni looked after his jive - it was very fast and content packed but it's only 90 secs and I would expect the pro to look less shattered than the celeb.

I couldn't agree more Nina, I think Aljaz has it all. Lovely kind personality, always respectful to his partners ,very handsome and a superb dancer. He's without doubt my favourite.

Must have been the steps to Claudia's room that got him He did some mad things, compared to him Georgia was just walking. Anybody who can do that and not collapse at the end is in a good shape, I'd think.

missed friday's show so didn't get much chance to judge.

but i didn't really like the way giovanni flipped up his partner's skirt in their dance, it seemed a bit low rent and i wasn't sure she was expecting it either.

She did, she did some choreographed OTT reaction.

It was a bit cheesey but definitely choreographed in and she was expecting it.

After seeing their first performances: Oti wins as best new pro. She put together a good jive for Anthony - characterful and covering for the problems with her shoulder. She and Anthony have clicked and I expect them to improve as a dancing pair.

Gleb's cha cha cha was pretty good and I like the way he dances but I'm not sure about his personality and the poor man is hindered by the fawning.

Giovanni makes me feel a little nauseous. Didn't like his jive for Georgia and his Italian act is too much.

How much these first impressions change will depend on their partnerships.

if i may ask, why don't you like Giovanni?

for me, he challenged Georgia with this Jive routine, so fast.

I think the producers are probably trying to shoehorn them into particular personas. All that Gleb stuff, especially from the presenters is stomach churning and tbh patronising towards the audience. Yes, he's hot but not that hot. Aljaz is hot, has brains to boot and seems empathic rather than preening and narcissistic. Tristan is down to earth. Neither one gets in the way of the dancing.

I'm waiting until I see the new pros on ITT before forming a stronger judgement about them.

I mean, I think the Gleb stuff is a bit much but people have very delicate stomachs if they find two or three women going "tee hee is Gleb here, he's so hot" a few times an episode nauseating, disgusting, vomitous, despicably sexist and what have you...

I wonder if giovanni will romance Gorgia? Anyone know if he is straight?

My gaydar goes "ping!", but you never know

As for the resident beauty Gleb, I'd actually prefer Giovanni if I should choose from the new dancers. That fawning act must be embarrassing for Gleb, too.

But if they start overdoing something on SCD they will never stop. Just like Tess kept banging on about how nervous Jay was. Yes, Tess, I get it, he was nervous, I got it after first one hundred times you said it. She was a bit patronising too, I found.

I believe he is a smoker - nuff said

I appear to have missed something - can't find anything in Search (but my computer is on a massive go slow so apologies if it is there!), could somebody enlighten me?!

With pleaseure Evil!

So that's how an arsehole looks like

I think hes going out with Kevin's sister! but who knows lol

I also prefer Gio to Gleb in the looks department

Which was discovered to be a bunch of lies the following day and was corrected by the same paper that published the first load of old tut

Even Oti took to Twitter to say what a load of xxxx it all was.

if people read trashy newspapers, all they get is trash. Granted it can be an amusing way to pass an hour, but you cannot seriously believe the rubbish they put out there.

I already like Oti. ...didn't think too much of giovanni but I really love how he came across Saturday. I like Gleb but he didn't come across well this weekend imo . I didn't like how he didn't seem to engage THAT much on the dance floor with Anita. She was so enthusiastic and giving it her all but Gleb didn't seem that much there. A bit disappointed tbh...

On the contrary, I absolutely love Oti and Giovanni with their celebs ....you can tell that they have a very good chemistry/working relationship with them .

Cheers! I have to say I think they are showing signs of having a great partnership already so if this was a first impression it's clearly a joke to both of them now. Probably tabloid crap though.

How did I miss this one!!!!

Think Oti seems lovely.

It annoyed me when Giovanni brought out the t-shirts. Forcing a team name, bleurgh.

Gleb seemed aware of where every camera was at all times. I felt he had the least connection with his celebrity, even though I think Anita will go far despite this.

Agree about Gleb. Same thing I said. ...he didn't connect a lot with her. .hopefully that will change.

Not on the cards. She's dating fellow Corrie actor.

Have heard rumours that Giovanni is gay but I may be wrong.
