I still shudder thinking about their goodbye dance

In the dance off he got touchy feely and Lilia was trying to fend him off .So much so that Lilias husband Darren came running on to get in between them

This is ever such a funny thread.....in a good way! 😊

I can honestly say that probably the only person who annoyed me at the time was Tom Chambers. The whole wedding half way through the series and 'story' that was played out each and every week wore a bit thin. I did feel terrible afterwards as I'm sure he's ever such a nice chap!

I cannot bear Kellie's screaming, and have not warmed to her flinty brashness because of the squealing.

Otherwise I've liked everyone, with the exception of Steve Backshall, after he didn't say a word in Ola's defence on his or her Twitter account after the tabloids had reported that he'd accused her of bullying and demanded a chaperone. He has lamely claimed that he followed advice not to say anything, but that's just pathetic too. He's a free agent. He's in the public eye and well knows how a person's popularity and even livelihood can be destroyed by a malicious stroke of a pen.. I suspect that he'd have preferred to coast along as a comedy turn, get booted out early and be able to go back to his day-job with a bulging wallet and heightened profile. Ola's expectation that he'd work might not have suited him, but that's no reason to leave her to be fed to the wolves. If all the celebs took that attitude and the professionals allowed them to, no-one would watch the show.

Richard Arnold used to climb on Erin on ITT, creepy.

Peter = ''I love me /i must smile into the camera ! / can't do a prog without mentioning wife Emily or the kids'' Andre.

Russell Grant = ''I just do the same steps for everything''.

Jamelia = just can't stand her.

Richard Arnold / Dom Littlewood =separated at birth i reckon!

Ann Widdecombe =Just plain obnoxious and rude !

Kirsty Gallagher= miserable

Carole Kirkwood = you will cause a storm if you don't go soon!

gone on a bit so better leave myself......

That's very diplomatic...

I want to like Peter Andre but he's making it extremely difficult to do so.

Lots of them have got on my nerves. There are four that irritated me most:

Matt Dawson - didn't like the man at all and I thought he seemed arrogant.
Craig Kelly - he exhibited no self-awareness regarding his dancing.
Ali Bastian - no oomph.
Denise van Outen - cold, competitive and hard until the final when she let go. Her pairing with James didn't help either.

This series I find Kellie difficult and she could end up allied with DVO in my mind!

More than I thought:-

Patsy Palmer
Zoe Ball - Only when it was her series, not as a presenter.
Jimmy Tarbuck
Stephanie Beacham
Letitia Dean
John Sergeant
Christine Bleakley
Natalie Cassidy
Ann Widdecombe
Edwina Currie
Nancy Dell'Olio
Russell Grant
Lisa Riley
Denise Van Outen
Kimberley Walsh
Louis Smith
Julien Macdonald
Natalie Gumede
Susanna Reid
Judy Murray
Jamelia

There are many mentioned in this thread who came across as they always do in programs.

I dislike Chris Hollins for calling Ola, Ola Chops.
Lulu needs to retire. I would say gracefully, but that's beyond her,

In the current program Kirsty Gallagher is a pushy needy person and I have become fed up with Helen George's constant surprise at nearly everything put to her.

Me too - I have to leave the room when they are on! There are others, but at least I can stay in the room when their on.

For this season, and I know this will not go down well with some, I cannot watch Peter, Jamila, Helen or Kellie when they are being interviewed, but I like to watch them dance (Jamila slightly less so). Conversely, while I do not enjoy watching Jeremy dance I enjoy watching him being interviewed.

Also can't stand Kevin & Joanne Clifton & Khristina Rhinaoff

Darren Gough and the incessant "did I mention that it's so hard and that I've never danced before, oh, and that I'm going on a journey"

That did get on my nerves.

I think you could have stopped there.

Oops, clearly the repression/alcohol therapy not working as well as I'd hoped...

If you come into the spoiler thread tomorrow night after the show then we will have plenty of alcohol and carbohydrate rich foodstuffs to help with your therapy.

I really, really don't need encouragement.

But thanks .

Just watch her face. And his thumb...

Poor Lillia.

As I recall, it got worse after this clip finished - their farewell dance turned into an arm wrestling match behind her back to keep his wandering hands in check!
Classy!

Lisa Riley and Russell Grant, seem to see themselves as some sort of Strictly Royal family.
Enough now, please!

Yup, from memory as I never want to watch it again, he put his hands straight on her bum, she removed them, he put them back, she removed them and then Darren out sprinted Usain Bolt to get between them - poor Lilia

Lisa Riley

Robbie Savage, for starters.

very few make any sort of lasting impression, either favourably or unfavourably, notable exceptions being
widecombe
dominic littlewood
craig kelly

quite a few are irritating during the show then quickly forgotten, except for being reminded of them on this thread eg
natalie gumede (attack of the vapours once too often)
julien mcdonald (screechy)
robbie savage (hair)
