Yes... any or all of that is probably in the mix. I am anticipating a few 'Moves like Jagger'..

Laura is posting quite a few quotes these days... maybe in a reflective mood.

Lovely picture Sarah - that ice blue colour is simply stunning on her - she has a touch of Grace Kelly to her colouring.

More from Laura

Really stunning, I was hoping she would wear this colour dress for her VW, not meant to be.

Totally agree.”

Works perfectly with her eyes.
Photogenic is the word!

Laura enjoying a relaxing and well-earned break at Champneys... Tring I think. Room looks lovely.

Good morning, LL Thanks for the link. It's always good to get pampered.
I have been to the one in hertfordshire. Sometimes they do offer some reasonable deals. Laura must have paid a lot to get that suite.

Her snapchat showed her taking a country walk with ...errr...... two pairs of different green wellies in shot. Far be it from me to suggest that the Green Hunter wellies were 'pictured getting cozy with each other' etc etc.. but maybe some nice person treated her to a little break... She stayed in the Princess Suite. Lovely.

Gio's quote on Twitter: 'Strong people don't put others down.. They lift them up.'

Open to interpretation, that quote.

Sounds as if Laura is being a bit of a tease.

Or just keeping her private life private Which is sensible I guess. Might have been a girly spa break after all... a bit hard to tell from a pair of wellies

Whatever the reason she deserves a bit of pampering.

Are you guys voting for anyone??? I was going to vote for Claudia and Ed, but now that Claudia is likely end up in DO, all my votes will go to Ed, I want him to win.
LadyLavender
24-11-2016
My remaining favourites are Claudia and Ed - I would really like to see both get through this week. I am still hoping that somehow the final is four celebrities rather than three. How I vote slightly depends on how the leaderboard looks and whether the judges have given Claudia a bit of help on the marking.

Funnily enough, it feels like time for Louise to go home. It strikes me that she is going through the motions a bit - maybe she has achieved all she wants to achieve from the show? Kevin has produced some lovely dances for her, but I still haven't connected with her as a performer really.

Random social meda observations - Daisy has Twitter-liked Gio's quote. And Laura and Neil Jones are still exchanging Twitter banter.

If I start about Kevin and Louise, it will turn very negative, so I will keep my lips sealed.
There are two dances this week, so more likely no ties and Ed will end up with only just 1 point. We will have to prop him up. Might chuck 50 votes for him. Fast becoming a big fan of Mr & Mrs Jones, amazing pair.

Katya has done a superb job and Ed has worked hard - what is not to like. Yes.. can easily see Ed on 1 point with no ties after Saturday's show .. in which case he's probably getting my votes.

I do like to pretend (if only to myself) that I watch the dances first and make a completely impartial decision

I have passed that stage now, can't even pretend that I am not biased.
LadyLavender

Bias? What bias.... Its all about the Purity of Daaance Its the first thing that springs to mind when I watch Ed.

Feeling sympathetic for the celebrities leaving their training rooms this evening .. and knowing that it is the last time for one of them.

My votes are going to Danny and Oti now. I like him and his dancing but the votes are really for Oti who's fabulous IMO! I'd love to see her win!

oooh Tweet about a Gio dance show called Dance is Life .... in May.

https://twitter.com/helensarah27/sta...83992890949632

Surely that is the Big News....

Bishops Stortford press office have jumped the gun

Here is the publicity from the Theatre:

Description

Join Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice and his professional dance team in Dance is Life, a show taking you on a story of life through dance.

This elegant and beautiful tale features four professional dancers and two amazing singers, guaranteed to have you on your feet and leave a tear in your eye. This is not just another dance and talk show, but a classy narrative with the most amazing dancing.

Giovanni joined the hit BBC show in 2015, reaching the final with Georgia May Foote before teaming up with Laura Whitmore the following year.

Exciting, passionate, sexy and beautiful – all in one show!

Tickets: £26 | Concessions £25

Special VIP Ticket: includes a post show meet and greet with Giovanni, a signed print and photo opportunities | £38 (limited availability, book now to avoid disappointment)

Edit: If this is on Bank Holiday Monday... I would guess it is part of a tour.

Good luck to Gio

1/5 is bank holiday.

Why would they have it on a Monday???
LadyLavender
24-11-2016
I would imagine because it is part of a tour... but Monday is a tricky day to fill. So I agree. It might be the only date that they can slot into in that area. 25 tickets sold already - go Gio

6 days on with Monday as a rest day would be a more typical pattern.

Can't wait to see the full schedule.

Laura wearing a simply stunning (sorry for Daily Fail adjectives but it does suit the picture) crimson metallic column dress to the ITV Gala tonight. Caroline Flack is there as well from her Instagram.

Pics in the usual papers e.g. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrit...laura-9329688?

According to her stylist Angie Smith, the designer is Charlie Brear.

So.... maybe an 8-10 week tour over May / June / July?

Good morning, LL Thanks for the link.


Laura looked stunning, but looked very sad, can see from the eyes.

Michelle K has done so much to her face, she looks so different now.

Hi Hugh . Michelle must be media's darling, not once have they commented about
the change. Drastic change, but she looks good.

I want Ed to win, but will be happy if Claudia or Danny win.
