Good post sandy I completely agree ! But I do hope that Laura shows Georgia respect as a friend should ! So far she appears to be doing that ! Long may that continue !

No, it was so obvious between Georgia and Gio from the off what they thought if each other IMO and u thought that from the start ! The only thing that made me doubt it was that Georgia was with Sean ! X

Stunning new Instagram of Georgia , she's so beautiful!

Feel a bit sad as it sounds like how she spent her weekends when GG were together

Thanks Jenster Gio is looking gorgeous! I might have to buy the magazine to appreciate his true beauty

yes, I expect so, would really love to see this dance on Strictly though and I'm sure Giovanni would be very good at it


I think they've been filming in Ireland and the "spin off" will be shown either at the end of this year or the beginning of next ... wonder what her son looks like?


well, if we're not busy with Gio, I'm happy to help out with Aljaz or Pasha


yes, but I'm not telling you which is my area


I'm sure he won't, as he'll be concentrating on the new series of Strictly and, as you say a "kiss and tell" can damage the pro's reputation


"Laura leaned into her pro dance partner smiling" and "things turned super awkward when Zoe mentioned Georgia" well, I didn't notice, how can they get away with writing such trash


I didn't notice that .. was too busy looking at Gio and didn't he look gorgeous on ITT

perhaps you'd like to go to Chernobyl instead, which is where my son is now

Claire good luck with your run, hope it doesn't rain .... my other son is gding the Tonbridge half marathon tomorrow and will be raising money for charity

Managed to download that magazine to my tablet and there's a small interview with Gio along with that gorgeous pic.

GIOVANNI

"Strictly Highlight: My first time dancing on the show last year. It's always been a dream to be on Strictly and finishing second made it feel like it had come full circle.

Favourite Strictly judge: Of course Bruno is Italian like me so how could he not be my favourite? Len told me off after one performance last year for my over dramatic facial expressions. Unfortunately I didn't speak much English then so I didn't have a clue what he was actually saying!

Pre Show Ritual I do the sign of the cross every time I go out on stage and pray for the best and that's it. I'm Italian, we don't do superstitions!

This season's predictions Everyone's underestimating Ed [Balls], but I think he'll surprise us. OK he may not have the best coordination but he puts in the effort. All the celebrities are great so it's going to be a tough competition this year."


There's also an interview with Jo who says that she regularly meets up with Russell Grant for sleepovers and thinks that Judge Rinder will be the dark horse of the competition.

Edit: The full size pic of Jo and Gio together is lovely as well!

I agree with everything you've said, I shall support Giovanni for as long as he's in Strictly, as I did with Matthew, but I'll still look forward to seeing Danny, Will, Robert, Louise and Daisy ....... and Gorka

if Gio has been paired with Anastacia or, even Lesley, there would have been none of this gossip, but as pennybel said, it's all good for the ratings


thud ... just off to buy Woman and Home

Georgia's good luck tweet to Daisy and Aljaz

These two were one of my favourites last week so I hope they do really well again, from the training videos the cha chat is looking good.

I assume Gio has got his pro dance tango outfit on in that Instagram and he's not wearing that for the waltz?

Just asking!!! Anyone have any suggestions as to why Georgia doesn't seem to wish Joanne good luck?

Kathy Georgia hasn't wished Janette good luck either. I presume it's because Daisy is the celeb she is closest to? But there doesn't seem to be much recent interaction between them.

Standing by ... exciting !

I hope they don't go down that road ,even if it did happen cant see it lasring long as Laura it touring for 4 months..Cant say I noticd any signs

Thanks for all the good luck messages guys it was good fun and raised money for cancer research so win win hope your sons run goes well ruby!

That picture of Georgia though!! Wow!!! 😍😍 and Gio looks hot in that picture with Laura and Ashley!

I thought Jo and ore did really well with their cha cha, I am no expert but I enjoyed it

Love Will but still not keen on his partnership with Karen. I've never found her choreography memorable sadly.

No, it was so obvious between Georgia and Gio from the off what they thought if each other IMO and u thought that from the start ! The only thing that made me doubt it was that Georgia was with Sean ! X

Woken be surprised if she went home up north ! I think I would ! 😀

I've been watching the show in between getting ready!

Laura and Gio and Louise and kevin were gorgeous! Enjoyed both dances, but I loved both the songs so that always helps!

Poor melvin though it is looking more n more likely him and Janette will be first out!

Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Got back from work 7.20 to find bloody recorder hadn't set off!!
Luckily just walked in in time for Gio & Laura!!
Well we now know what we all knew anyway, that Gio is a great choreographer & a brilliant teacher who knows how to get the best out of his partner!!
Well done Gio, lovely routine & beautifully danced by Laura!!
I got the dancefloor chemistry tonight but certainly nothing more than that for anyone who's analysing that side of it!!
Anyway of out again now so have left TV on to record the rest!! See you all later!!

Yes but you didn't get anything from GG either..

Beautiful waltz, great performance - left me sick to my stomach if I'm honest

He definitely doesn't look at Laura the way he used to look at Georgia IMO. I liked the dance though, and was pleased they did well.

I thought 'Lavanni' were good but I have to say Louise and Kevin were much better IMO - so how they ended up with the same score I don't know !
Perhaps the judges were making up for under marking "Lavanni' last week as they did everyone on Friday night.

The costume department need talking to - what on earth was Louise's dress all about ?
I didn't much like Gio's suit either - very cheap looking !

I thought Karen and Will were very disappointing I expected much more but I enjoyed Tameka much to my surprise !
I think Gorka is going to be a fave pro - he is lovely.

Go Ed is all I have to say - I think I will vote for him via the Strictly web site - I am all signed in and ready to go and poor Ed will need the votes !
