Either way it's getting on my wick now, and having seen the tour their dances don't translate at all well to an arena.

I went to see the matinée performance on the tour last Saturday and team GG went on first. Their charleston didn't translate well on the temporary stage I felt, unlike the dances by Helen & Aljâz and Jay & Aliona.
I did wonder myself if their relationship was for real when all the tabloid rumours were going about and yes I too feel sorry for her ex boyfriend, Sean Ward; especially when he turned up to see her dance during the live shows last year and also contributing to the VT for family & friends that they do for the finalists'. However, they weren't together for terribly long and Strictly can be a testing ground for relationships.
Perhaps, she wanted a change and doing a show like Strictly for her came at the right opportunity; coming at the end of her contract on Corrie for playing Katy Anderson, the girlfriend of Chesney Battersley-Brown (I think that's the name of his character

) Let's hope she puts her time on Strictly to good use.
