I think some people cant accept the fact that Mr Du Beke has got to the final at last he is there and thats it if your not happy then simples dont watch and just suck it up nothing anyone says is going to get Anita to replace her this weekend so deal with it
The real Tony Beke
3 of 6
I think some people are not happy Antons in the final. No matter what anyone says Anita isnt going to replace her so suck it up and deal with it or dont watch
Lol, I've had so many tee shirts stained with orange and apple juice, that if I could get an 'underling' to do anything it would be to peel fruit for me. 
(Mind you, even I can peel a satsuma without getting into a mess!)
Seriously though, not everyone is 100% sweetness and light. Enough of the pros and celebs appear to like Anton for us to assume that he does have some more likeable character traits.

When Anton joined the show 11 years ago, it was on an equal basis to all of the other pros.
With Strictly being so keen to push the sweetness and light agenda, over the years they've found ways to 'lose' any professionals who create a bad atmosphere, and I'm sure the BBC would have been just as ruthless with Mr Beke as they have been with many others.
I'm not especially an Anton fan, but if there was any substance to this article, I'm sure we'd have heard plenty of murmurs well before now.

Is this all a euphemism?

I guessed this was bad journalims, but now I know it. What's not to like about "Bring on the wall!" ?

This definitely . I bet he can be a right nasty git when he gets his dander up , but can't most of us fgs !
The sun prints a load of crap and I've noticed in the past year or more that they tend to go for easy targets .Anyone who has any sort of bother in their lives . Cheryl looking thin and her marriage looking shaky ? Lets get the boot in and hint at all sorts of nastiness . Helen on strictly looking cool and aloof ? Lets call her a biatch and a diva unwilling to mingle (despite denials by everyone involved) . Kanton kept in over anita ? Lets call it a fix and then put the boot into him by regurgitating old crappy stories to cap it off .
I wanted anita kept in , but it is what it is, the judges decide, and that's that .

I have it on good authority, from an unnamed source, that Anton Du Beke sacrifices puppies to Satan every Sunday, and has the body of Jimmy Hoffa in his cellar. He is instrumental in the escape of Lord Lucan, was a regular dinner guest of the Kray twins and learned to dance so he could tap out secret Morse code spy signals to the Nazis. He insists that sexual partners call him "Tone the Bone" and cannot successfully urinate without a terrified animal (dog for preference) making direct eye contact with him - afterwards he will not wash his hands, but will wipe off on said animal. One time for fun he set fire to a tramp, and wouldn't put the tramp out until they'd done a, as he put it, "marvellous fleckerl". His teeth are carved elephant ivory, and it's a part of his BBC Strictly contract that, at all times, two runners must actually run - on a big treadmill, which generates the electricity he uses to kill white lab mice for fun.”

You know him quite well then
Interesting hotch potch of Wikipedia and made up facts there. With that hatchet job he might end up winning!
If Katie and Anton win by somehow screwing themselves up and producing three dances that encourage enough people to vote for them I'll be delighted.
I can't see it myself after looking at the training vt. Katie looks like a broken woman. Hopefully a bad day /early footage and not a reaction to all the cumulative bile they've had to put up with in the last two weeks.I just hope they do themselves justice.
If they do win this forum might actually combust...(beware the non cyber savvy not twittering over forty voter!!)

I rather liked "Hole in the wall". It was good clean fun to watch with the kids along with the grand-daddy of all escapism TV, "Total Wipeout".

So first time Anton makes the final the Sun - not the most reliable journalism - trashes him. Well go figure! The Sun not saying anything constructive. I suppose it saves them doing any real journalism.
"Anton misses out to become next leader of the Conservative Party!!"
"Anton will only cross the road if there is a zebra crossing."
"Anton snarls at taxi driver just before he sneezes."
The above headlines are all taken from next week's editions of the Sun.
saw them on the Editor's screen.
Honest.

Anton kidnapped Shergar and ate him on toast with faber beans.

while the paper this is in is a vile rag and the article is put together rubbish - the Tony I knew was very opinionated sometimes rude and often nasty, having not spoken to him for years he does appear to have changed from his competing days and his Anton persona does appear to be popular amongst his strictly colleagues but as with all these stories they often start from a grain of truth ....

Coming from you, that almost ranks as an OBE citation for Anton!

Agree.
Now Harrison Ford was very rude on BBC breakfast this morning and admired it, I wonder why The Sun doesn't have an article on that? Oh it doesn't suit there campaign against SCD, so double standards.
Awful that such an article can be written without any real proof that Anton has gone on an ego trip. Always, friends, vague comments with no backup. I think he seems a nice enough pro dancer but I agree that some of the routines he has for Kate have shown his lack of ability in presenting her positive side dance-wise!!

I don't and neither would I.
I don't know the character of any of the SCD pros nor do I want to. They do their job and try and get their Celebs through the weeks, and that is good enough for me. I don't need to believe the ramblings of a paper like the Sun trying to tarnish SCD for me.
Their mocking tone about his mothers "series of menial jobs" is utterly disgusting. As if scribbling cr*p for the sun is anything to be proud of.
Any woman that would undertake any job to provide for her child/children has my utmost admiration and respect.

That was a very low blow. On another day that would have been included as something to be admired, not sneered at.

Yes do not buy The Sun, its the only way to show them, they went to far.
Them and the Daily Mail are the papers driving this.
The Sun is owned by the very tarnished Murdoch group ( phone hackers) , and the Mail owns part of ITN, the news on ITV, and has for a long time been very Anti BBC.
Now the BBCs royal charter reviews up now for renewal in 2016, The MP in charge John Whittindale, basically Hates the BBC, So currently with the charter renewal and cuts in funding the BBC is in a very weak position.
Now 11 million viewers love SCD, it wins the weekends ratings and therefore is a great ambassador for the BBC.
Add two disgruntled Former SCD dancers, The Jordans, James in particular known for this acid comments and you have it, the recipe of the claims.
So bottom line.
The Sun and The Daily Mail have this campaign based on No evidence, to continuously, try to damage the reputation of SCD, so get at the BBC.
Do you recall Johnathan Ross, When he was on the BBC he was used on a prank to get at the BBC, only a few thousand listeners heard his late night prank call but the DM built it up and up so more who hadn't heard it made complaints, many who did didn't know what they were complaining about. Funny JR moves to ITV and suddenly its all forgotten.
So they are trying to tarnish SCD's name, build untruths and get viewers to switch off or complain, In doing so they are damaging real peoples names, the celebrities and professionals but they do not care about people caught up in this and being used, all they care is to get at the BBC.

You mean, besides labeling him as some homewrecker that's trying to break up Aliona and her husband?
Pete137 Do you work for the Sun? because your nasty starter post is identical to the Sun article.
Do we? First I've heard of it.
Oh dear! <rolls eyes>
Don't believe it, it's just too silly words.
Quite, and Pete137 appears to be one of them.
I really enjoyed it, it was so much fun, and Anton was perfect in either the Presenter roll or as part of the team.
Really? I can't. I have no real idea of what Anton is like in his private life, I love watching him dance and he comes over as being a nice, fun sort of person - I want to be entertained, so that'll do for me.
BTW you don't have to buy the Sun my local shop can't even give 'em away, they've been trying for weeks but no one is interested. I accepted one as I needed something to put the cat poop in.
