I remember taking my mum to see Aled Jones live after he'd been on the show, and he gave a long speech about how we must all vote for Brendan because of how lovely he was (this was the year Lilia was competing with Darren). Since then I've always assumed I don't know how they are all getting on. (I was a bit amazed that Abbey tweeted that she wanted to Anton to win a few weeks ago when Aljaz was still in the competition.) I think even if they do get on well at the time, it's different once the bubble bursts and they often get a bit funny about 'their' partner dancing with someone else. You really can't tell.

I've no idea what a Shropshire autist is, but TPTB stands for 'The Powers That Be' - the show producers/directors and so forth.

I'm not convinced she has a crush on him. They seem to have a very business-like professional relationship. She made a comment a couple of weeks ago about the rumba which struck me as playing to the camera because she knows a lot of people fancy him.

I don't think there is any attraction at all between them. It seems to be a professional relationship with dance as the focal point. Which is as it should be.

I don't see anything at all to suggest Anita has a crush on Gleb - Initially there was that whole I can't look him in the eye nonsense, but it soon passed, and to me was just a play for the cameras.

If anything, I think the relationship is very cool.

No she keeps her marriage completely private.

oh those russians

BIB Thank you

I think she might have had a crush on him when she first saw him. I thought 'wow' but now I can't stand him. I expect that crush has probably died. He is a nice looking bloke
