James - an excellent teacher and dancer. Ola - excellent dancer and stunning. Their time on SCD was obviously curtailed mainly by James answering back when Craig was too pantomime style rude to celeb partners plus James has said that he thought that the pros should have a choice of music, which they'd had previously, to suit dances, rather than the micro managing producers doing it. I agree about that. Some music choices are just daft.
The dislike for these two on this forum has been OTT for years. Can James be annoying - yes. Is he his own worst enemy sometimes - yes. However, to dismiss the couples' talent and their contribution to SCD over the years is rather blinkered. They worked a lot harder than sitting at a keyboard commenting on pro dancers as if pontificating very negatively about trivialities barely connected to the dancing, is a worthwhile way to spend time.

Even when he declared himself "the Brad Pitt of dance" on CBB.
The man is a arse as another poster earlier stated.

Agree, he comes across as so bitter too. I never liked him on the show.

Thanks for the warning.I could ignore them.

James and Ola chose to be on a TV show where they would be judged by the public. They have also chosen, post-Strictly, to live their lives in the media spotlight. Therefore it's not unreasonable for the public to comment, positively and negatively. Goodness knows, James and Ola are more than happy to air their views publically (and charge people to read them in Ola's bio).

Live by the sword, die by the sword eh?

Well I wouldn't miss his tweeting for the world...he's witty, looks for the positives and is usually spot on. And like him or not he's remained friends with all the pro's...only the Burn The Floor gang he has a problem with it seems.
Not a bad word from his celebrity partners either...Vanessa remains good friends and intellectually they're like chalk and cheese!
