Strictly has just won at the NTAs guys and girls, which I'm chuffed over. Served TXF right really as they had changes that made the show worse. Cheryl and Simon must be seething with rage now that TXF didn't win. Ah well 3 out of 4 NTAs is very good indeed, well done to the BBC and kudos to the presenters and dancers.

I found it amusing they used the opening credits for 2014, they couldn't be arsed by then it seems.

Well done SCD

They should have got Jay over there to collect the Award. He was ready.

I noticed that too. I saw the lovely Pixie Lott appear on the big screen with her cheeky smile and I was thinking, just a minute here, she was a contestant on the 2014 series. What is going on? I guess it was just a technical error and I don't even think people are that bothered about that at all.

They could have shown clips from shows in the category instead of having a rather pointless Dermot/Tess chat.

Why were hardly any of the contestants from the recent series not there like Jay or Georgia all the I'm a celeb lot turned up none of the professionals were there either only Brendan

I imagine Jay and Georgia, plus most of the remaining pros, are probably rehearsing for the tour.

Very pleased for Strictly I especially loved Dermot saying it was his new favorite show

See Brendan has been having another dig at Aliona saying he will miss some of the pros that are leaving and not others, hmmm I'm sure she won't miss him.

It is because they are all rehearsing for the opening of the tour which starts in Birmingham very soon. However, a link to them would have been good.

The people they did get (Carol, Peter and Kellie) aren't on the tour. Probably Brendan was a token pro dancer and will travel back up to Brum today.

When did Brendan say this? Do you have a link?

Seems he can't get over it.

Brendan is rehearsing his own tour at the minute in London he isn't on the strictly tour so that's why he was there, Oti is in Germany for their strictly, Anton is rehearsing for his own tour same with Pasha I guess, Kristina is just out of cbb, Tristan is touring in USA I think , Ola probably wasn't invited but will say she was busy so that leave Jo i am not sure about as she is the only other pro who isn't doing the tour and possibly could have been there

Thought it was weird that they put up the wrong title sequence and that only Kellie was on stage for the celebs (the only group Tess forgot to thank) even though Jamelia and Peter were both there

OK, thanks. I didn't know that.

However -


Carol and Peter were there, to the left of the stage.

Hmm let's look at it this way shall we Brendan is using reverse psychology and what his really trying to imply is that aliona is an astonishing dancer that pushed him to his limits while he had the honour of dancing with her and that his really going to miss her the most. Yep makes more sense.

They did make good dance partners.

I guess working for Brendan was different from working with him.

Oops miss them thanks

Glad they won, shame we only had Tess and Brendan from the Strictly family though. I noticed annoying Kellie Bright getting right to the front.

She does everything with such extension.. How I'll miss her

I'm sure this has been said before but why were those dresses simply pieces of material held together with a belt? Couldn't wardrobe be bothered to sew them up?

because they are all in Birmingham rehearsing for the Live Tour which opens tomorrow night

Nah, he just doesn't like her.

Can someone fill me in on the history? Why doesn't Brendan like Aliona?

He used a photo of Aliona for promoting a Tour she wasn't on and on commercial products he sold - without her permission.

Aliona objected and Brendan settled out of court and made a payment.

Tristan is in the current Mrs Brown's Boys play in Australia ("Good Mourning, Mrs Brown") - it starts this Friday night in Wollongong, NSW. I don't know if he's doing the play's whole tour, which lasts till March 12, but I'd assume so.
