I love his 60 minute makeover, love his humour, He was also on Through the Kehole last night and ITV1 have him lined up to present a rival motoring show to Top Gear. Oh and he does the occasional segment on This Morning

I hope is first next week

I hope he's on right after Jay!

I like all three of those contestants. They were all pretty good for the second week of the series, and all were highly entertaining.

Daniel O'Donnell?
He's had a very long career, has sold millions of albums and managed to do it without marrying a potty mouthed glamour model.

BTW do we know how the order is decided? Maybe they draw a number from a hat.

Isn't it common sense that the producers hand out the pimp slot to the couple most likely to perform an entertaining, highly scored dance to end the show on a high note? Inevitably that means the better dancers get more pimp slots than the duffers. In the early stages of the show, it also means they play safe with consistent, experienced performers used to performing live who are less likely to be let down with nerves. Andre falls into these categories at this stage and so it suits them in promoting the show to have him go last. It doest follow that he is getting preferential treatment for any other purpose than their ratings and I can't see why anyone would think it logical for the Beeb to have any particular wish for him to win more than anyone else. In fact, precisely the opposite since ultimately he is an 'ITV product'. It would make far more sense to set him up for a colossal fall!

Very odd that he gets the best slots.

Except when he took up with Katie Price.

Who would that be?

I don't think it's fair on the other contestants that he's made out to be the star on the show on both SCD and ITT. He's a good dancer, but there are others who are just as good, in my opinion.

It's the bloke who married Charlotte Church that I feel sorry for

His music career began in 1995 and ended in 1997. He's been a professional famewh*re since the jungle in 2004 making money by hawking his marriages and kids in magazines and reality shows. He's certainly not recognisable for any music made in the last decade or for presenting any hit TV shows.

I find the Andre fans slightly terrifying.

Totally understand this reasoning! Pete can only be described as 'tabloid famous' these days. Even if he is a guest on a chat show, the reason tends to be plugging his reality shows or just popping by for a chinwag.

I really like Peter and think he is doing great but I dont feel his celeb status is larger or more superior than the other contestants.

Oh thank you, you said it better

My theory: It was part of the deal when he agreed to do the show. Note that he's also last in the opening credits.

I remember when he stood in for Paul O’Grady on one of his afternoon TV shows. Even with a strong guest like Julian Clary, it was one of the worst 45 minutes of television I've experienced.

Agreed. Yes he can move, but imo it all looks like Peter doing Michael Jackson doing the cha cha cha, quickstep, etc. I much preferred Jay's waltz last night.

Haha. Nice. We've all seen that slot

Yes, I'm sure they are aware he's a Z list celebrity that the BBC are bizarrely trying to make us believe is a major star. Daniel O'Donnell at the height of his fame blitzes Andre in the career stakes

after two dances, come on. see james jorden is throwing his toys out of his pram, maybe he should take a long hard look at hisself before blaming others. dos he really think calling the show and judges is helping his wife.

I'm happy to say I have managed to avoid that dubious pleasure.

The mighty Warner Music (Ed Sheeran's label) don't seem to thnk so....he has just signed a major record deal with them http://www.virginmedia.com/tvradio/n...s-record-deal/

I'll repeat - after only two dances?
