Heard in the media that helen isn't actually a nice person at all, she's nice to the contestants faces and nasty behind their backs. I thought her nice act was a bit of a charade act. I won't be voting for her as she is a back stabber.

It was claimed by the Mirror, by no known sources. She tweeted saying it was a load of rubbish so who knows.

I never listen to anything spouted by that rag.

I don't think Helen is the warmest person, but I don't believe the nasty things written about her.

Come on now, we all like a good bitching.

She's probably just normal. I really don't think she's some uber bitch.

I know, I don't love Helen but I really don't hold this against her, of course she'll be nice to people she doesn't like, that's called being professional.

I don't believe the bs people put in papers. Helen is a lovely person and not the type of girl I'd associate with being a b***h. She's says it's not true and she gets on with the other celebs and pros. It's upsets me when people say nasty things about one of my favourite celebrities. At least she's not like Caroline Flack last year she completely got on my nerves

You believe a very dubious source and make bitchy comments about Helen - yeah, nice moral high ground there.

.... You believe everything you read do you? Was this story revealed from an inside 'source' ?

Shouldn't be so manipulated by the rumours that come out in papers as a lot of it is a load of tosh.

Just posted below my honest musing.

You have me confused, in less than twenty minutes, you appear to be disagreeing with yourself in your OP.

Well it is because other forumites put me right and what is published in the media simply isn't the case.

I heard in another rag that she just ignores everyone else, so which is it?

I'm sure, as usual, it is nonsense. See also Anthony and Oti allegedly hating each other when in fact they were really friendly.

Well you've just said something nasty about one of mine!!! :<
I wrote before that Georgia put up a pic of some of the Strictly celebs and pros enjoying dinner out somewhere and Helen was one of the party (approx about ten of them .. Georgia, Giovanni, Anita, Gleb, Alijaz, Janette, Ainsley, Ola, Jeremy and Helen.) Helen would hardly be there if she didn't get on with anybody or didn't speak to them.

The daily mail in their 'exclusive' on strictly a few weeks back said pretty much the same about Jeremy in terms of being unfriendly, looking at twitter he seems very friendly with the others so I can see it being complete bull

Don't think I have ever posted on the strictly forum at 4:50 before, this is what happens when your three week old daughter already knows how to wind up daddy

Belated congrats Jake!.

The papers are having a bloody laugh in that case.

these tall threads scream borderline personality disorder

Essentially it is a group of people who come together to make a show. What happens is what happens in any such undertaking - from a school play to a feature film, and including Strictly. There is more than the usual degree of bonding in the workplace as they all work together to make the whole better than the sum of its parts. Because of this, sometimes there is friction, but almost invariably very minor and forgotten immediately. It just takes some soulless hack from a rag like the Mirror to spot someone who isn't having a good day and the whole thing is blown out of all proportion.. I think it was Katy who summed it all up in the first week when she said, "We're a gang now." What she meant by 'gang' was a group of children who play together. That is the sort of bonding that goes on, only among adults.

I think Helen is fine - i.e.. no better and no worse than any of the others in her attitude.

Yeah I agree. The press have a great history of only providing the facts and not embellishing the smallest of truths.... Or not, as the many high court cases and apologies prove. If that's your only source, then I'd take it with a mountain of salt!!!

I see what you did there

I haven't read anything in the papers but there is something about her I don't like!

It probably goes back to the show when they got to find out who their partners were, and when she found out hers she said "oh I am really pleased I thought I would get Anton"!!!!

I just thought that was really rude and disrespectful.

Please DO NOT believe what's printed in the tabloids, do not let them, on rumour influence you.

Yes, I've noticed that as well and tend to read with a raised eyebrow most the time waiting for the shift

It's all conspiracy theories really and hyped up shit too.
