The BBC will hope that allowing the controversy to be aired it will nip it in the bud.

We will see but it will be hard to take the dance off seriously in future. The judges might just as well be asked who they are going to save without the pretence of a meaningful dance off

He reminds me too much of my 15 yr nephew - Jay has what I would call a baby face

Bother, Karen, I hoped you'd mention the bottom two.

Zoe panicking because she thought Karen was going to bring up P'duhgate.

I was genuinely worried she was going to walk over ovation-gate.

Gleb!

Bloody hell, I thought Kazza was going to say something constructive about the DO then

Way to distract

The look on Tristans face - he knew nothing about the birthday, he thought she was going to talk about DO

Karen? Constructive? Pah!

I would have done if I was Karen Hardy and the BBC would have to edit some of what I would say out!

Feh. Faked strop... Zoe's birthday. What a perfect distraction from #Fixgate

Who thought that Karen was going to complain about the Blackpool fakery ?

I was hoping for a bombshell and it was just a bloody birthday video.

I did.

She was probably having kittens!

They don't have the guts. It's live so they wouldn't be able to edit.

Much sharper kicks for sure

I really thought Karen was going there for a second

Karen knows which side her bread is buttered

Dont understand Delta - that he has to have an ovation after dances written into his contract?

OMG - thought Karen was going to say something then.........

Fair comment!

Jamelias is buttered by ITV !'

Precisely!

I am SO in love with Tris! He really doesn't care!
