I agree that her personal life shouldn't detract from her professional life as a presenter in respect of her employers, unless of course she had done something illegal, but the general viewing public are bound to have opinions about celebrities and I can totally understand why what they do can put some people off watching programmes they are in. If you don't agree with someone's actions or views then it can sometimes be difficult to watch a programme they are in.

I can't stand Anton Du Beke, I find him incredibly annoying and false yet other viewers love him. If he were ever to become a judge or present Strictly I would definitely struggle to watch it, without him even doing anything in his personal life to put me off him!

I've always said she's too "hyper" for me. I also found her wanting to be thought very "street" laughable considering her background (the staged photo with the fag in her mouth and a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand was pathetic).
She's just another example of the nepotism at the BBC.

But her personal life is her own and I wouldn't comment on it.

It was nice to see Will enjoying himself. Looking forward to his jive.

I never knew Will Young was so funny, I really enjoyed his and Karen's interview.

It takes two to Tango ... if you take what you read what is in the Daily Rags as gospel then both Zoe and Norman have had their issues but are still very good friends and frankly it is none of our business.

I thought Will looked ridiculous too. Hope the outfits improve although I doubt it

Strictly wardrobe and makeup are often guilty of making contestants look ridiculous and even hideous at times, but Will's outfit didn't fit those categories, it was very smart and suited the dance, the red socks blended in nicely with Karen's dress and the set.

I have met Will and he is, indeed, very funny. It was when he was in The Vortex at the Royal Exchange in Manchester and he was having a cup of tea with the actress who played his mother in the play (Diana Hardcastle). I had a while to wait for my plane and thought I would have a bite to eat in the foyer. There they were enjoying a break between the matinee and the evening performance. We had a good chat for about 15 minutes!

After the ITT interview, I can see why they paired Will with Karen. The Tango was some of the best choreography I have seen from Karen. They're doing OK. With Will's fanbase and what they can produce on the show, I can imagine them in Blackpool at least.

Will is my early favourite.

Sorry we will have to agree to disagree It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Think Melvin is a very likeable guy, shame I'm not a Janette fan,

I want to dislike the Louise Kevin pairing because I am not a Kevin fan....but I do like them together! I do love a Viennese waltz, looking forward to that.

Love Will and Karen. He is so eccentric - I love that about him.

Karen and her Hubba Hubba, made me laugh

Did they have to give Greg 'Jump'. *yawn*

I like Melvin so so much in interview. I want him to do brilliantly, but it isn't looking hopeful on that cha cha cha. I expect him to be first out, but I hope he won't be, he's seems such a sweet man.

Will and Karen are adorable and a good pairing. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't do really well. She's best with a funny man imo.

I think Kevin and Louise will do an excellent VW.

Awful music choices. Why can't we have proper tango music? - it's such a great dance and they treat it like it's got to be silly.

He is a very funny guy! See his Instagrams from this DS Clothes Appreciation thread His concerts are like Stand Up.

Hello everyone.

Who's on the programme tonight?

I'm looking forward to tonight's show!

What is Lesley wearing?!

I reckon if Lesley was with anyone else she might be first out. She is too small for Anton and has to reach up when dancing with him

Anton really isn't a good partner for Lesley, he's too tall.

Leslie is wearing one of Doriens outfits.

Lesley!

She's so overbearing.

Anton doesn't seem that interested this year!

Anton still can't string a sentence together
