Melvin was doomed the minute he got given Moving on Up as a tango song! he has been consistently bad for 2 weeks now and tbh I wasnt at all surprised to see him in the dance off

with hindsight - yes, Anastasia shouldnt have danced on saturday night BUT hindsight is a wonderful thing - as we all know

Anastasia is a strong, feisty woman who knows her own body and thought she would be ok - sadly something went wrong and she injured herself, not on purpose, it was an accident - people on the MF would do well to remember that - it was an accident and accidents happen

I cannot believe some of the vile comments down there! and absolutely - full marks and respect to Anastasia
Im not sure it was handled, and the proper information/ basic( not medical ) given out,saying that the people in the other thread are insane!! as are the media hungry ola and james Jordan!!

she got through the first dance, it must have hurt even more and thought of doing it again with the arms, she did what the drs recommended!

Masses of good luck to them both, my favourite song and favourite dance!

I have to say this season has already been slightly ruined for me by some main forum members who are hell bent on insisting that its a fix and that Anastasia is some diva! I have given up on the amount of new posts that they have managed to start feigning outrage on behalf of Melvin! Honestly its a light entertainment programme on a Saturday night - whoever wins or goes will not make one bit of difference to anyones life on here!

Good to hear Sophie Ellis Bexter's support for Anastacia on ITT. Just a simple plea that things will be kinder

I had to come on here because Im appalled at some of the comments on the MF about Anastasia especially by two posters. One I crossed swords with over Jay last year. How nasty can some people be. Ive been away since 11th September but saw about what happened last weekend. I have looked at the show and the results show on catch up and IMO Anastasia would have gone through anyway.

I just hope these nasty people dont get what Anastasia has had.

Rant over.

Poor Brendan being unwell. Well done to him for continuing today. I thought they did a good dance.


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ng-oxygen.html Brendan Cole's preparations for Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing were dealt a blow after a lung infection resulted in him visiting A&E.
The dancer, 40, took to his Twitter account this morning to let fans know he was still ok to compete in tonight's show and praised the NHS staff who cared for him.
He wrote: '#NHS Doc's, Nurses & staff are phenomenal. Thank you for looking after me in the wee hours. Lung infection now under control so thank you'.

Just read the news. Best of luck to Anastacia with Gorka on Saturday. The height will work better for the QS with Gorka. I hope his choreography will be good as Brendan does some good QS dances for his celebs. Hope Brendan is better soon. He looked very wan last week.

Brendon mentioned on ITT that he had done the choreography for the dance.

Get well soon, Brendon. Lung infections are so dangerous.

Strictly news - I'm ill but not out!
Posted: October 19, 2016
It's been an interesting week. Many reports going around about the seriousness and implications of my health so here I am setting the record straight about what is happening this week.

Last week, as the season changed into Autumn, I like many accross the UK developed a bit of a cold. As it was just a cold, I continued practising with Anastacis leading up to our Rumba last Saturday. As the week went on I got a little worse and by Thursday it had annoyingly gone to my chest. After suffering a pneumonia in February of this year, I guess my lungs were not up to full strength yet so my immune system wasn't quite ready to deal with what would normally be an innocuous cough.

On Saturday morning in the small hours, I was finding it difficult to get enough oxygen into my lungs and was getting worried that maybe my cough was turning back into what I had in February which had me in and out of hospital over three nights. Because of this I decided to drive myself to the A&E to get myself checked out and make sure it was not a serious chest infection and end up in the same situation as February. Many reports saying that I was rushed to A&E! Far from it, I simply popped down as needed some oxygen and my GP wasn't available at 2am! Turns out my Blood/Oxygen saturation was 93% so I was probably right to do so.

The hospital looked after me very well and I went home a few hours later, diagnosed with a minor chest infection to be dealt with in the normal way. Later that day I danced our Rumba with Anastacia on the live show which was not too much of a problem as it's a nice slow one... a quickstep may have been a different story! During both the Saturday show and the results show, it was reported by various publications that I was clearly seen clutching at my chest in a bit to breathe. Again... not the reality at all. All I was trying to do was cover my microphone so as not to cough down it to a few million people at home - I know, I'm so considerate .

Anyway, this information brings me to this week. After a second visit to a doctor, more tests were done and a full examination. The Doctor advised me to rest as it would be very easy given earlier this year for my Chest infection to become worse. His advice was full rest this week and see how I am on Friday as to whether I can take part in this weekend's Strictly!

Fingers crossed all will be ok as I am feeling a little better today (Wednesday) finally!

Thanks for all of your lovely messages of concern on social media. Very nice to have all your support. Let's hope Anastacia, Gorka and I can do a great job on Saturday!

Brendan X

I absolutely loved that QS I must have re-watched it about 8 times already- such a happy and effortless dance, with gorgeous footwork and acting from Anastacia, and lovely chemistry between her and Gorka.
Favourite dance of the night.
Might even prefer it to Danny's QS
