Gio and Georgia and their romance was tedious last year now its spilling into this year too.
I have zero interest in any romance storylines where SCD is concerned, just boring.

They have been romances before and will be again on Strictly.

It just happens on national TV that's all rather then in a different workplace. Yes it seems like the press are only interested in that which is a shame.

Why on earth should she feel she has to openly support Laura and her ex? She doesn't owe Laura anything, she's under absolutely no obligation to continually send supportive tweets. I don't know about anybody else but I wouldn't be generally inclined to send my ex any supportive tweets - so the fact she has done shows a great deal of kindness,
So they're not good friends then, as she claimed in her statement? Why say it then? And she also seems to have cooled on Laura too. The media reported there was a row between them but Georgia left it to Laura to deny it, didn't release her own denial and was fairly lukewarm in her reply to Laura's.

Personally, I don't think it is all Georgia 'fans' who are doing that but social media allows people bit by bit to console each other that their reactions are acceptable, whether that's investing in a relationship or seeking to 'protect' it.

For my taste, and I accept I'm a bit strict on the matter, getting your jollies by imagining your way into celebrity love lives is a bit icky. But I can see how a climate exists online that allows people to do that. When a minority of 'fans' break through the fourth wall thingy to harass the real people at the heart of it though, it's clearly gone too far.

Laura should be able to freely enjoy her experience just like everyone else. Poor bugger loves the show. It's a shame that she's getting this crap IMO
I think a lot of it depends on how much you invite people in, in the first place. Some celebs (and non celebs, obviously but less people get to see it) post their every movement and outfit choice (my favourites are still the 'in the dentists chair' ones. I mean, really!?) If a celeb is almost begging people to take that much of an interest, they can't be surprised when some do - or when some over step the mark. Once they're in, they're in.

Who knows? Among other things they keep telling him to get back with Georgia ... and to not keep rubbing her nose in it and they tell Laura that she's not as pretty etc etc. I can't imagine why they would keep mentioning Georgia .. or even know about him and her ... if they weren't fans.
Possibly just trolls, though seemingly trolls with an agenda.

Firstly I don't think Georgia and Laura are 'friends' just because the papers say so - they've been out once via communal friends just before the show started - thats it. The tweets between them since have been more about them trying to stop troubemakers trying to paint them both in a bad light.

Laura should be able to have a normal experience with Giovanni on SCD and it not be effected by the fact shes been out to dinner once with his ex girlfriend. But I also don't think it should be expected of Georgia to constantly be cheering them on - especially as shes already wished them both well publcily already? Would you be cheering on your ex boyfriend and his partner on a weekly basis as your favourites after you had split up and you're most likely shocked and devastated over the split? I certainly wouldn't be! She already tweeted them, wishing them both well and telling people not to listen to rumours, that Laura is a lovely person.

You'll always get troublemakers trying to throw stuff at both Laura and Georgia which is unecessary but I do think these people are in the minority and hope it goes away.
Absolutely agree.


She doesn't but Giovanni was criticised widely in certain circles for not sending his ex supportive tweets. . .
It was suggested in certain circles that Giovanni should send her some form of supportive tweet before BAT, which he did, essentially this is the equivalent to Georgia sending him and Laura that supportive tweet before starting Strictly. Just as people don't know expect Giovanni to send Georgia a supportive tweet before every BAT show she does, people also don't expect Georgia to have to be constantly giving Giovanni and Laura supportive tweets.

So they're not good friends then, as she claimed in her statement? Why say it then? And she also seems to have cooled on Laura too. The media reported there was a row between them but Georgia left it to Laura to deny it, didn't release her own denial and was fairly lukewarm in her reply to Laura's.
I can't find the statement in which she's described her as a 'good friend', I take it you're referring to the bit in which she described her as a 'beautiful person' - are you saying that it was wrong for her to say that?
Secondly, are you saying they're not good friends because she hasn't continually sent her and her ex supportive messages over Twitter? I find that a strange basis for making such a judgement.
Thirdly, the statement 'Georgia left it to Laura to deny it' is unsubstantiated - perhaps Laura was the first to respond to the article because she was the first one to be made aware of it. And Georgia replied to it, it's your interpretation that the response was lukewarm.

I am a GG fan and I think tweeting any of them telling them what to do is beyond ridiculous and unnecessary! It is Laura I feel most sorry for in this whole situation as she should be able to enjoy her strictly experience to the max! I'm sure Laura knows to ignore trolls and not let them get her down however hard that is!

Ditto all this.

A bit sad for all concerned really. I also include Giovanni. It's sad that things didn't work out for he and Georgia, but he should be able to get on with his actual job without this nonsense.

Out of everyone though I feel saddest for Laura. I hope it doesn't bother her too much as such a clear fan of the show it's a shame her experience is being tainted a bit by something out of her control.
I think BMLisa has summed it up perfectly.

I agree, but I think social media has given young celebrities a distorted view of what privacy is. I read an interview with Georgia the other day where she said she is 'quite a private person'

.
Perhaps strange, but not surprising. Its useful to remember that Georgia was getting the same digs - continuously - last year from many of the same posters criticising her this year too (via Laura this time). I remember she was even blamed on here for being photographed in the Daily Mail for going to training for the tour as being 'publicity seeking' even though all the dancers had been photographed too, if you had just scrolled down the page a bit more. One small example, but there were many many more as I'm sure you remember - and it was continual - people who seemed to have a thing about disliking her going by amounts of posts put up about her on the main forum trying to have a dig at her in any ridiculous way possible - and as we can see its continuing on.

I hope Laura doesn't end up with the same. She should be able to enjoy her experience without this. I hope not - it does seem to be a very small handful of people going out their way to have digs, similar names keep coming up as they do with the people having digs at Georgia. Hopefully it will stop. Feel sorry for the pair of them.

It was Gio I was referring to. All of a sudden he's an ex (with all the Sean vibes that infers) but she gave the impression in her statement that they were friends and it was a mutual decision to end it (sorry .. not the impression .. she stated it as fact.)

She unfollowed Laura which of course the media picked up on ... she knew they would .. which was weird because she said there was no problem and she was wearing her necklace etc. The report of a row was out there for 24 hours at least before Laura denied it. I feel Laura had to address it even though it was about Georgia storming in and yelling at her because, for some reason, Georgia wasn't going to. There's no way she didn't know about it ... she's far too up on what the media (and social media) are saying about her. But for some reason she was keeping schtum.

Agreed !!!!!

I Can't stand Laura at any price ...She's just one of those Celebs that I can't bear and don't really know why I just took a dislike to her for some reason from the first time I saw her on IMACGMOOH-N

However people tweeting her crap just because she's been paired with Gio and are fans of Georgia is just pathetic and bang out of order ..and I say this as someone that likes Georgia

Even though I can't bear the woman ,I do feel for her and the way all this seems to be spoiling her Strictly experience ,as you can sense she's not really letting herself get to involved in the dancing for the fear of people/media accusing her of trying to get ''with'' Gio if she dances to close/touchy,feely with him ...which is a shame for her

I agree, Also it's often attached to their income.

Not talking about Georgia here but for example, when even someone like one of those numpties who used to be on Geordie Shore gets up to 2 grand per Instagram posting, the stakes are high. And that.s not including the freebies and invites which are clearly doled out to 'advertise' the brands. There's a reason why pics on Instagram in particular are generally thought to have to be picture perfect .

I can't knock them for it, showbiz is a fickle business and few can turn down the chances of extra income, but like anything that lack of privacy comes at a price.

Oh okay, thanks. It's probably a good mix of both.

Reason 9999999999 that people should abstain themselves from showmances on the show

It's only a matter of time before a 'celebrity' posts a picture of their colonoscopy or smear test or prostate exam isn't it? 🙄

Absolutely agree. I lose count of the amount of absolutely innocuous things Georgia was picked up on for doing. I've never understood why people seemed to take such a disliking to her, so I've had to put it down to them being jealous of her. I realize that the idea of jealousy will be dismissed out of hand by most - but I think perhaps if people took a moment, just a moment, just 5 seconds to think about it, perhaps it might make people think about their feelings a bit more. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being jealous per se (I'm often jealous, it's only human to feel that way) but it's not so good when this jealousy is then transferred into continuous negative comments.

It was Gio I was referring to. All of a sudden he's an ex (with all the Sean vibes that infers) but she gave the impression in her statement that they were friends and it was a mutual decision to end it (sorry .. not the impression .. she stated it as fact.)
Not entirely sure what you mean here, but I'll simply repeat what I said in my previous post - are you saying they're not friends because she hasn't continually sent her ex and Laura supportive messages over Twitter? I find that a strange basis for making such a judgement.

She unfollowed Laura which of course the media picked up on ... she knew they would .. which was weird because she said there was no problem and she was wearing her necklace etc. The report of a row was out there for 24 hours at least before Laura denied it. I feel Laura had to address it even though it was about Georgia storming in and yelling at her because, for some reason, Georgia wasn't going to. There's no way she didn't know about it ... she's far too up on what the media (and social media) are saying about her. But for some reason she was keeping schtum.
You say - 'she unfollowed Laura which of course the media picked up on ... she knew they would'.
2nd part of statement - completely unsubstantiated.

You say: 'The report of a row was out there 24 hours at least before Laura denied it'

As far as I'm aware that's absolutely incorrect, but if you can prove otherwise I'll be happy to accept.

You say: 'There's no way she didn't know about it' - unsubstantiated statement.


At the time this article was published Georgia re-followed Laura on social media - I'd be interested to know how you interpret that?
