Worst Ever Contestants
Someone started a thread on best winners, so I have decided to start a similar thread on worst dancers:
Male John Sargent Female Judy Murray |

Sorry missed them out as well as for various different reasons I found them all poor.

You're kidding, right? You think Judy Murray was worse than Ann Widdecombe and Nancy D?

That's a broad question, you'd have to narrow it down to "worst" in terms of:
Dancing Personality Or both combined? ETA: I just asked because there were some nice people dancing horribly and some horrible people dancing reasonably. And sometimes we had both, *cough* Lulu *cough* |

Not the worst, but I think Rachel Riley was a special breed of terrible. I couldnt bring myself to fully watch her, she was just so blaaah. I dont care if she was distracted

Quentin for the men, Fiona for the women. In terms of raw ability Fiona was probably better than a few of the very worst in the training room, but she always froze up on the dancefloor and had a habit of visibly giving up and just letting Brenda shove her about. It does help that a lot of the more popular comedy contestants, like John and Ann, lasted long enough to put together at least one coherent routine, normally in ballroom, which neither of the above ever did.

Personality wise, I didn't like Dominic Littlewood or Victoria Pendleton. Two people who thought they were better than they actually were.
Christopher Parker Quentin Wilson Nancy Dell'Olio The three above stand out in my memory for being pretty poor. With contestants like Fiona Phillips and Kate Garraway, they were great people to support and to be fair, both improved a lot with their Foxtrot so I wouldn't necessarily put them down as some of the worst since they had a breakthrough at one point. |

Quentin Wilson was definitely rubbish
And there was a comedian - tall and quite large - Paul somebody perhaps? - in about series 2 who was really bad as well. David Dickinson was poor, but was also deluded because he thought he'd be good - at least Quentin Wilson knew he was rubbish.... Edit - just googled it - Jason Wood was the one I was thinking of - Wood was a very good name for him. |

Odd how no one mentions Gillian Taylforth. Yet she was Anton's earliest boot.

It has to be remembered that all these were deliberate choices by the BBC.
No way did they want everyone to have a chance of winning, you have to have some donkeys to make the show interesting. |

Kirsty Gallagher was another one who thought she was better than she was and kept moaning about being undermarked. .

I remember right, all the ones who were genuinely bad were in the other half? If it had been like it is now, she'd have probably managed a couple of weeks more. |

But, she wasn't really that bad (and not, I don't think even bottom of the leaderboard?) she was just the generic average filler lady celeb. I think she was in one of the years where the celebs were split in 2 groups and one eliminated from each half before they joined together.
I remember right, all the ones who were genuinely bad were in the other half? If it had been like it is now, she'd have probably managed a couple of weeks more. Oddly enough that's the one week the public saved Lisa Snowdon, who was the other person in joint 6th. That didn't last. |

Ah, of course, gender split - so John Sargeant, Mark Foster, Andrew Castle and Gary Rhodes all got to clomp round again and traumatise us (and Karen in the case of Gary) for a few more weeks.
Can't think why they ditched that idea

She was good value sometimes though. Didn't she criticise Brendan's music choice on live t.v.?
![]() ![]() Can't remember her criticising Brendan but I bet that didn't go down well. |

yeah had they not done the gender split and done them altogether I'm sure Gillian would've survived a few weeks in her series as she was better than Jessie John Gary Mark Andrew and that's a start, in the 14 weeks idve said she should've got halfway
