I haven't been here long, but I don't recall a time when the show's fanbase was so against the plucky tryer who's also kind of nice and funny and doesn't have the taint of ringerdom on him.
I don't really get it.”
I think he is absolutely lovely.
Admired him as an Olympian athlete, who wouldn't!
Loved when he came into strictly his huge smile which never stopped!! He just seemed to beam constantly, lit up the TV when he was on. He thanked the judges for their comments - even the more pointed ones about his bottom and bow legs......graciously.
I have loved even more the absolute hard work he puts in, he has excellent work ethics, and you can see him thinking about everything. I also love how lovely and sincere he comes across as - whether being interviewed himself, caught on the hop on ITT footage, or in the Clauditorium with his fellow dancers.
And what blew me away was the way he went out and totally nailed that Dance off. I could feel the effort he put into it, it was electric, and he totally nailed it......shows his passion.
I think he comes across as a genuinely lovely person and I am glad to have seen this side to him via Strictly. I don't think he will make the finals, but as much as I enjoy watching Ed, I certainly believe Greg should be there after Ed and after Judge R.
