Someone on Twitter has this as their profile picture. I haven't seen this before. Sorry if it's already been posted 😉

Oooooops just had another look. Think it might be from the christening they went to. Sorry 🙄

Gosh and I thought Len could get cross - poor boy but what were the Producers doing hiring someone with no ballroom experience for Strictly ?
This year on our Strictly they seem to have gone the other way and gone for ballroom dancers for the most part !

I think it is one of the Christening set !

Lovely photograph

Can anyone explain to me why a woman of my age who hated physics at school and is totally lacking in any technical knowledge should so love Robot Wars ?

I also like Scrapheap Challenge - very. very odd !

Well Gio has suddenly come back to Twitter late tonight - two tweets wishing him luck for rehearsals tomorrow !

At least we will know where he is this week !

Morning all, apologies for absence yesterday!!
Did i miss anything?

Although I am sure that Georgia is very happy that Gio is back on Strictly, another part of her must have been dreading this moment when he goes out every day, working hard but having fun with all his Strictly mates and she is (presumably) sat at home having no part in it! I hope she makes it to the launch show (and to the Chilli Fiesta).

Very interesting thanks for that Sandy

Morning all!


Aw, well it's lovely to have you back posting again.

I'm impressed you managed to salvage the quote having half deleted it, God knows the mess I would've got in with it!


Aw, I love that photo - thank you for posting!


OMG - I haven't watched Robot Wars in years, in fact I didn't realise it was still shown on TV! I'm kind of with you on the whole hate physics, like Robot Wars thing - I guess as watching Robot Wars doesn't include too many ridiculously complicated calculations I find it a bit more bearable!


Did you miss anything yesterday? What a question!!! YES - you missed a lot... It turns out that Alfonso Tangoat has managed to get hold of a relatively shiny suit, with extremely shiny lapels and an extremely shiny bow tie without my knowledge and is shamelessly wearing it to taunt me. And there's also speculation that Georgia may have been out looking for a non flammable shiny suit for Gio, which could in turn mean that there is a flammable shiny suit available for me at some point should Gio decide to take to wearing the non flammable shiny suit, instead of the flammable shiny suit.

And that's the lowdown on the news from yesterday - hope it was useful!

Good luck tweet from Georgia

What a difference a year makes, eh?

What a difference indeed!

Saying that I really can't believe that we're almost onto the next series ... that might be something to do with the fact that I haven't stopped watching dances from the last one ... and don't intend to stop!

Aww bless her, that's sweet. I bet she's excited for him. Some tw*t has posted a horrible reply about her saying goodbye to her relationship now. People can be dicks. Excuse my language

Can't wait until this strictly gio for the win

One question are we still able to post in this thread when strictly starts

Absolutely!


Indeed. Pathetic people making pathetic comments - they're always around.

Do you notice it is always very unattractive men that make these remarks on Twitter ?
Are they just jealous do you think ?

Certainly.
I think that's precisely what fuels most, if not all, this kind of trolling towards Georgia and many other celebs.

Yes Wicks, that is an unkind and disrespectful tweet by that individual and so I have reported it. Hopefully Twitter will respond. Aliciax👎

Goodness me Twitter is going mad this morning with Strictly tweets - I feel really excited for the new Series - I get quite excited every year but this year I am positively too excited for words !

Following GG has meant I am now interested in the whole Strictly crew - I can't wait to see who they all get as celeb partners !

Awww I got a lovely little warm glow reading that tweet of Georgia's!!

Sadly only to have it spoilt moments later reading the horrible & disgusting comment from the ignorant ba**ard underneath!!

Well done Alicia for reporting it!! He should have his account closed down for good writing crap like that!!

Why ffs, why would you go to the trouble of doing that???

They are jealous and just sad worthless people who are the dregs of society and will never see anything good in anyone. To say such things to people you don't or will never know speaks volumes about the person.😡 Anyway they are always ugly life's losers.
To me if you can't say anything good best say nothing at all. 🙈🙉🙊

Damn, trust me to miss all the real excitement!!
Feeling your pain with your 'suit envy', but it will make it all worthwhile if you can get hold of Gio's genuine authentic shiny flammable one instead of Alphonse's extremely shiny, also flammable, but non Giovanni authenticated version!!


I feel exactly the same, can't BELIEVE it's only a month to the launch show again but then, like you I sudeenly realised the reason is I'm still regularly watching last year's shows, or at least the GG sections of them!!


Hi Lewis long time no see!!

Definitely!! If Georgia is excited about it then i am 100% going to keep posting on thread rather than starting a different one!!
The only thing that would have stopped me is if I'd thought it would upset Georgia, knowing she sometimes reads our thread but she seems almost as excited about the new series as Gio, bless her!!
Again this warms my heart to see that she's so confident, happy & assured in her relationship, particularly after all she went through in her last one!!


I know Sandy!!
I always look forward to Strictly but this year I am really quite excited!!
Not that any contestant on there has a hope of drawing me in immediately the way Georgia did last year!!
Again because of her enthusiasm, I am now really looking forward to seeing Gio dance again and, much against my earlier thoughts I hope he gets a real contender he has a chance of wiinning with!!
After all, we all know he was robbed last year & if he did win that glitterball would be as much for Georgia as for Gio or his new partner!!

Exactly. Hopefully she has a thick enough skin to just roll her eyes and think what a loser

Wonder who gio Will get this year
