i think you need a Kellie esque personality to survive several hours a day locked in a room with TTF

i think you'd pobablu just retreat into yourself muttering "please no more...."

As her child was born mid August, she would have been pregnant during the show for a few weeks. I did assume afterwards that that was why her showdance had that silly trotting-along-some-benches section - that she knew she was pregnant and wanted to avoid lots of lifts.

I didn't know that she was pregnant whilst Strictly was on. Poor girl

I was completely exhausted in the early weeks of my pregnancies. There is no way I could have contemplated learning a dance. All I wanted to do was go to bed early with a banana and salt and vinegar crisp sandwich.

Up until Jay, Denise was my all time favourite ever SCD contestant

I'd have loved her if she'd have been with Tristan and he'd have looked at her like she was mental if she'd tried the shrieking with him. He'd have calmed down her manicness.”

Away from him I have no problem with her at all, in fact I rather like her, it just a toxic mixture for me.

Denise made me fall in love with Strictly, and I still hate the fact their brilliant QS got completely overshadowed by St Jill of Jive

I could never work out how someone had spent the summer battling through injury and trying to keep hold of her Olympic title could be castigated for being too competitive

I know, I thought she was a wonderful dancer (won't talk about her jive) and her partnership with Ian was great, and I have ongoing envy of her beautiful skin - her ballroom was generally way better then Jill's for me as well

Denise is my biggest ever wuzrobbed celebrity of all time. She should have won because, unlike St Jill of the Jive, Denise didn't come from a performing background.

That's not to say I didn't like Jill & Darren's partnership, I did, and I liked some of their routines, but for me Denise & Ian were just a sublime pairing which oozed class when needed and sex appeal when needed.

Oh I loved Denise.

I think I loved Jill too but I'm sure I liked Denise more.

I always support the athletes. Even Roger Black and Iwan (until 10 secs into his first dance)

I loved Roger Black.

He wasn't the world's best dancer and he was partnered with Camilla, but he seemed really sweet and worked hard.

Denise was sublime though.

I so wanted to like Iwan, then the launch show happened and, well, I'm not sure he's ever going to recover from that with me

Roger Black wasn't good, but I remember him more from Celeb Masterchef around the same time, sweating into his Chantilly cream and leaving his pots and pans all over the floor - think he got beaten by Matt Dawson that year.

You can keep Naomi Campbell who just wears good wigs or Kate Moss who always looks a bit grubby, I think Denise Lewis is one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

In my head, Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson go home and play house and make beautiful babies who will run exceedingly fast. (Apologies to Michael's wife and Denise's hubby)

Unappreciating walking into my local newsagents and seeing Mr Self-promotion and Dr Em on the cover of OK magazine. Doesn't he ever STOP? Before Strictly, I had no opinion about him one way or the other, but now, I loathe the sight of him. And we have his appearance in the final to look forward to, too. <insert roll eyes smiley>

Ah, Michael Johnson, a dream contestant for me, even if by the brief glance at his dancing during the World Champs, ummm, he won't be good - but all he'd have to do is come out and speak and I'd vote my hand off for him *sigh*

He always seems so nice too. Will give his opinion directly - good or bad - but never in a nasty way.

He's a brilliant pundit (not a bad runner either

) so straight and honest, plus how can you not love him for this - just watching his long standing world record go
