Check the link I just added, in case it works for you, even without a Twitter account (I'm not sure if you have to have one.)

Does he not grasp that Ola still has to work there from now until Christmas? I can't imagine the atmosphere if JJ continues in this vein. Imagine what your boss would say if your spouse was publicly badmouthing the company you worked for.

Excellent point!

+1. Alas James Jordan has never struck me as the kind of man who possess any type of intelligence regarding the consequences of his actions. My admiration for Ola went up a few years ago when he was whining about joke acts being voted in by the viewing public (it could have been John Sergeant but I am not sure) and Ola was on the sofa with him and disagreed quite firmly with him.

She may not be the strongest choreographer but she was good at playing to her celebrity's strength so it is a shame for her she draw Iwan. But Jordan really does need to stop and think before speaking/tweeting...

The rest of the dancers must know what he is like and hopefully don't blame Ola for his actions.

Unfortunately, JJ always has, & always will, open his mouth before putting his brain in gear. It's all about him & his ego, but it works - here we are all talking about him.

Such a shame for Ola - she seems a lovely girl & dancer, who has / will suffer because of her husbands ego - I don't think we'll see much of her on SCD now other than in group dances, & I'm sure TPTB will do their best to keep her out of those if they possibly can

It would be sure to have leaked out to the media with an audience that size, some tabloids would just love be to run a story like that about the BBC.

I still think that it was a combination of someone being either malicious or on an ego trip (or both). Wasn't there someone posting spurious leaks a couple of years ago?

If he (or she of course) had more sense then he would have not tried to predict the two couples in the Dance Off and just gone for the one eliminated couple as more chance of getting just one name correct. Just think that if he had done that then he would gain credibility and people would think it was a genuine leak. If he got it right again next weekend then he would gain even more credibility.

Perhaps they were having a Peter Andre moment and didn't realise which light meant what so jumped in quickly and thought Jamelia was through

It actually annoyed me quite a bit as they were copying content from my blog word for word and pasting it on twitter on the hashtag which meant a few people had a go at me because they thought it was me

It seems there are some tickets going spare for Saturday - is anyone available to go, that can be there VERY early on Saturday morning (6 or 7am) as validation is now at 9am?

You would have to promise to be our mole though

Let me know & we can try & get you the tickets!

He obviously has too much time on his hands .I hope Ola just gets on with the dancing and not let him spoil it for her. I'm sure she can stand up for herself with him.

As someone who has applied for tix for years without success, I am a little perturbed that these tickets can somehow be "got" by other means. I thought it was just a random draw!

Someone has tickets via the random draw but can't go, so they are giving them to a friend now - this has happened many times before - nothing underhand about it, nothing to be at all perturbed about

I was led to believe they were looking for someone to give the tickets to, but that is not the case - they wanted advice as to whether it was possible to pass the tickets on to a friend, which it is

I can see him on a sofa turning to Ola: "What is this thing called 'thinking'? Which button?"

no, because that would require some kind of working grey matter

To be fair it was difficult to play to Iwan's strengths as, dance-wise, he was a bit hopeless! I think Ola should have concentrated, in the limited time available, on a few basic cha-cha steps and repeated those within the routine. A more simplistic routine rather than the shirt-pulling, break-dancing, knee slide routine (how many times now has Ola brought out that routine??) would have perhaps been a tad boring but might have shown his progression better.

^^^ would it make a difference though? People don't like if somebody says they don't have time for training especially if they are not exactly popular. Maybe it would be better for him to actually learn some basic steps even if just superficially. Ola thought he was sexy enough to bring in some public votes, but he clearly wasn't all that.

Given that Ola is coming back from a serious injury, I think giving her someone who wasn't going to last very long was probably wise. They weren't to know that he was going to manhandle her every time he got a chance.

Chuckle

It was inevitable that Iwan was going out on Saturday. He even made Greg Wallace seem fleet of foot and that's before he threw in a breakdance routine. If Ola agreed to that she must have done so in the knowledge that she would enjoy an early escape from someone who isn't temperamentally suited to Strictly - bludgeoning doesn't work in ballroom or latin lol. On the other hand maybe in exasperation with an adult child she clutched at a trick from Janette's repertoire and hoped that Iwan's 'showmanship' might create a wow factor that would see them through to next week.

It was never going to happen.

I'm pretty sure I heard Craig say that Ola and Iwan had trained for 21.5 hours in his critique.

Most folk could learn a short routine in that time - but with Iwans ADD that probably made it difficult for him to pick up the steps, and to remember them - but we could see what he was like in training - an absolute nightmare unable to concentrate on anything for any length of time.

I don't think ANY pro would have been able to do any better with him, with his ADD and work commitments. Whoever had him would have been out first!

For me there is every point in waiting for Abigailsmum and her team to source a reliable mole. You may remember in past years there have been strange people who thought it amusing to post wrong results for fun. Abigailsmum is reliable and fantastic.

Dear abigailsmum - totally agree with the earlier comments, no need to apologise - it's all a bit of fun, I love the banter as much as the result! Now, there's the roses in the bottom of the tin that always get left till last, and I've got a brew on. Pull up a chair (not spiny, it's Monday ❤️) and join me! Sugar? Xxx

Looking positive for a mole for next Saturday - I've been approached by a FM who has a friend going - the friend is happy to provide the spoiler (as long as they don't have to sign anything to say they can't) so I have reassured them that they won't be asked to sign anything Keep everything crossed guys xxx

Fingers crossed & all that.
