Deeply appreciating that I met Judgepet and Danny through work today and they were both LOVELY.

Shame Oti wasn't there and I could've died a happy man!
Lucky you.

Well, now you have a reason to live on, till you have met Oti, too.

You lucky so-and-so! Glad to hear the Judge in particular was lovely in person.

Well Judgepet smells of Lavender and has some *very* dirty jokes. Danny is annoyingly even more handsome in the flesh and was lovely. Met Judgepet because our company has just taken over doing some work on Judge Rinder and met Danny because he was doing something at the studio over the road from us and came to our canteen. Lovely chap. He did say Oti was still whipping him hard for the tour!

You lucky bunny

Out of interest - how tall are they? Both Oksana and Oti seem tiny so just wondered if the guys are smallish as well?

Thanks a lot for the additional info.

It's always great to hear when celebs in RL are how you imagined them to be. Okay, I wouldn't have guessed the lavender-thing with the judge, but the dirty jokes I buy instantly.
And it's nice to hear Danny is as lovely in person as he comes across the TV screen.

It's strange how attached you can become to people you haven't even known before (I don't live in the UK). And even stranger that those I "knew" best before (Anastacia and Will Young) have annoyed me the most.

He did say Oti was still whipping him hard for the tour!
That's how it should be. And I am sure that's how he wants it to be.

Till Nakatomi comes with the facts, I come with some stats :

I read somewhere that Danny is 1.75 mtr. (which would be *looks at converter* 5'7 1/2), but I tend to believe that it is the slighty sugarcoated version.

Oti is listed with 5'4 (1.65 mtr.), and I think Danny is max. 2 inches taller than her.

And no, I am not obsessed. No way!!!!!!

On IMDB his height is given as 5'8" which I think is about right.

The numbers felt somehow wrong, then I realized I had a wrong converter who made 10th of feet instead of inches. And no, I didn't drink , but maybe I should have... ).

So here the right ones:

1.75 mtr. = 5'9
1.65 mtr. = 5'5

Assuming that Oti's stats are right, I think Danny is abt. 5'7 max. 5'8.

So he's exactly the right height to be Big Spoon to me, excellent.

Judgepet is about 5'6" and Danny is probably around 5'8" or 5'9"? I'm 6'4" and I was taller than him. Must say he carries it quite well though, if that makes sense.

Oh, the judge is smaller than Danny? How tiny is Oksana then? *actuates google* *too much time at hands - will change again next week*

Okay according to this source (http://www.celebheights.com/s/Oksana-Platero-49622.html) 5'2.

OT:
I guess with 6'4 you are taller than most people, unless you are standing in the middle of a basketball team.

So he doesn't slouch anymore? He's self-proclaimed preferred posture (at least when sitting) - somewhere from his early strictly interviews - before he fell under Oti's regime.

Oh I think Oti has definitely had an effect on him (well she would on me too - I'm terrified of her!) Yeah Oksana must be pretty tiny as Judge is only little although again he carries it well, always stands bolt upright. I suppose you do in that profession!

That's why I unappeciate (wohooo! Finally could land THE word! ) when people claim Danny's had no journey (can I unappreciate the word journey, too?). Of course, he was good from the beginning, but he had a different implicitness as a dancer as the show progressed, or could anyone have imagined THAT samba in the first few weeks or or that he'd catch Oti jumping of a pier (let alone suggest it)?

This quote from ballet new on the finale sums it up pretty well for me:
Danny Mac was by far the best dancer throughout the series, and Oti Mabuse had in him the perfect canvas to perfect her intricate, breath-taking, brave and mesmerising choreography. Yes, he started from a way along the learning curve, and much has been made of his dance training, but he worked like a dog every day for three months and you could see the progress no matter how good the start.

(well she would on me too - I'm terrified of her!)
Oti is one fierce woman! Gotta love her!

Yeah Oksana must be pretty tiny as Judge is only little although again he carries it well, always stands bolt upright. I suppose you do in that profession!
Yeah, I guess you do. But I heard/read somewhere that off-camera he is rather shy - not unlike Danny - and nowhere near as bold as he comes across the TV screen.
