I was reading some awful tweets yesterday sent to Jo and Kevin, calling them atrocious dancers, I think the message went on the say something along the lines of "if you were decent dancers and knew what you were doing, you would be in a Broadway show or West End not pratting about on a TV show".
I think Jo replied " Well perhaps I had better give my medal back( gold medal for winning World Pro ballroom Showance) ....and perhaps you would like to come and see me on tour next year in Thoroughly Modern Millie"
What a dignified response, prior to blocking them.
Kev just replied that he had already done the Broadway, West End, Tour scene etc...my goodness there are so many sad individuals around.”
Those tweets came from a follower of James and were ignited by a comment he made about favouritism. The person responded to him making a derogatory remark about the Cliftons and and copied in Kevin, Joanne and Karen. James was copied in on a few of the tweets but made no response.
Christopher. i would say James's dancing skills are pretty solid and his teaching skills seem to be extremely good. Ola is also solid dancer. Teaching seems to be ok. Quite a few signficantly more successful dancers have been on the show (Karen Hardy, Matthew and Nicole Cutler, John Byrnes, Paul Killick, Hannah Kartunen, Joanne Clifton, Hazel Newberry, Neil and Katya Jones, Lilia and Darren Bennett), but also quite a few similar level or less successful dancers have also been on the show.
