Jo did comment on one of Georgia's pictures just before the start of BaT - where geo was wearing the blonde wig saying that she loved it! I'm sure they are fine!!


No I think you're right! I'm hopeful that they are absolutely fine I guess geo and janette have been more vocal on social media and we've known they have been out together etc and it was lovely of her to make the trip to MK to watch Georgia right before strictly!

Doesn't necessary mean things are frosty between geo and Jo of course!!

I didn't think it was one of his best either and if she always has to bend her knees hat is not good. Idiotic BBC The choreography he did for Georgia and as we know she only had one day to get it under her belt was far superior .Gio of oursee has to set routines to her abilitry hope she does OK for his sake

Penny I totally agree, Laura is just too tall for him. I think Gio and Laura will do OK. With no out and out front runner public support will be important but I think the judges will keep them in anyway. Fingers crossed Gio also gets a slot on the tour and it will be interesting to see who he is partnered with.

Maybe what with her new boyfriend and training in Manchester her life is just too complicated for Jo right now and she decided to stay neutral - she hasn't liked or praised Gio on Twitter either (don't know about instagram as I only follow links and info given here) since Strictly really took off.

Georgia has made it very plain who she is supporting - fingers crossed that the lovely sunny Daisy and Aljaz are good tonight.

I managed all by myself and, although I said I didn't want that leaf thing in his hair, I was over-ruled .... not my department

looking forward to Claudia, Will and Tameka tonight (hasn't Gorka got a lot of tattoos on his arm)


he could always come and stay with me, fast train to London is 35 minutes from here


I think they'll look good together in the ballroom dances and, considering they were first out on the first show yesterday, she did well, as others have said her top half was fine but maybe she should wear slightly lower heels which would make her shorter than Gio

other thoughts:

Anton always looks so elegant in tails and I admire Lesley for having a go although I think she'll struggle with the Latin dances

Ora had a strange outfit on but, once he got going, he was good, one to watch

Greg much better than I'd expected and I hope he and Natalie go far

Robert a superb pairing, she's a glamorous blonde Ukrainian and he's camp and funny but has natural rhythm - a good addition to the programme although I did read that someone said he'd ruin the show for him/her

Had to have an early night last night so catching up with you all.
Afton,thanks for the lemonade. Another lovely day in Scotland!!!!!
I'm looking forward to tonight's strictly. No stress waiting on Gio and Laura.
Looking forward, the Judge is going to be a favourite of mine, enjoyed Greg too,he will work hard. Ore came across well too but I'm not too keen on Jo,I know most of you on here are fans but I can't really take to her,sorry. Enjoy strictly tonight.

Nando has just posted on Facebook that he can't wait to see Gio dance live so I take it he is a guest at the studios tonight.

He often was last season.

Georgia has changed her Twitter header to the gorgeous one of her with the cat in BAT.

That wig really is absolutely top notch - it looks so real !

Clip of Gio and some of the pros singing Anastacia. He really does know the words (and does an impression of her distinctive warble)

I enjoyed reading this guy's blog last year. It may be of interest ...

Gio so loves to sing

Proud of myself


Just a bit!!


As I've said before, the height problem won't be too much of a problem for Gio and Laura, apart from looks wise and lifts but it will create bigger problems for Lesley (as we saw last night) and Anastacia because their partners are too tall for them.


Love it! But it's making me even angrier that Gio wasn't paired with Anastacia

Helloio everyone



Nice!!
Did you all see this pic of Gio further down in this link? Bello!

Afton and Ruby Well done on the tanning up of Gio and making him look so divine. I much prefer this to the incredible hulk look you gave him before




Me too Jammy




I hope Giovanni remembered to take the leafy headdress off after the show. It doesn't do his "Italian style" street cred any favours



I see the magazines have picked up on Georgia not tweeting Gio and Laura good luck yesterday, but wishing Aljaz and Janette and their partners luck today.
Feel sorry for her. I think she has done enough to support them when strictly first started and she wished them good luck then! She also wished all of the celebs and pros good luck in her insta yesterday !! What is the girl supposed to do?!
I wish they would leave her alone but of course that is not going to happen any time soon is it!!

Gio, Lesley and Melvin

They really are quite ridiculous!! How many people stay on friendly terms with their ex's?
As you've said, Georgia has done her bit. Put the rumours to bed and wished the pair luck on Strictly. I think it was very big of her to do that. What she must be going through - my heart breaks for her - do they really think she's going to enjoy watching Gio+Laura? I mean fgs we can barely bare to watch it!!

Janette is a very good friend and it looks like Georgia and Daisy are quite close as well so of course she will tweet them good luck. She is free to support whoever she blooming well likes and frankly, I'd be shocked if it was her ex she wanted to support

Spot on

Well said star and wish they'd give it a rest now. GG are both trying to move on in their own ways but it still must be quite a tough weekend for Georgia and I'm glad she's got her own performances to focus on in MK.

Jenster thanks for that link - Gio looking gorgeous and he definitely has still got it!

Absolutely right Star!!
She's already gone above & beyond & has been a damn site sweeter about the BBC's little publicity stunt than most would have been in her shoes!!
Let the poor girl get on with putting her life back together & concentrate on yhe good things...... as if!!!

Damn right star what do they want her to do - take a break from BaT to be in the audience every weekend holding up her team lavanni banner up with pride!! I'm sure she is willing them both to do well as we all are but she has done more than enough to show her support as did Laura and Gio before Georgia's opening night!!

I see Georgia's in Bristol next week, so that'll be great for her as she's been filming there with Trollied cast, so knows her way around. She'll have a fantastic time I'm sure, great city! Audiences should be good too.

Comments re Jo,. yes all points considered there. I thought, if not in Manc though, she would have gone & Jo's b/f has followed Georgia for ages too. He never did follow Gio! I just hope maybe she's staying neutral, as I don't think she would forget how good Georgia was to her after her breakup with Laurence, big part of GG as said!

Looking forward to tonight's show and the Pro dance and a Group dance if I remember Tess said last night!?

Enjoy everyone!

And that's why I wanted Gio to have Louise (or Anastacia) God, she was fantastic!!

Exactly what I was going to say!! I use to love eternal/Louise back in the day anyways! But they were brilliant!! And her and Gio would have been amazing I think!

Kevin and Louise looking really good. Best so far 😊

Love Janette but Melvin not so good sadly

Bet Georgia was happy with that! Wonderful dance by Daisy
