When I look at that poll, I am starting to feel sorry for poor Tom Hughes who played Prince Albert.. not a single solitary vote.

I think the secret is a well-fitted, sparkly blue shirt

Who knew that standing bare-chested, scythe in hand, in a meadow was NOT a winning strategy?

(Mind you... glad Gorka is not in the poll - that might have split the vote!)

Maybe Aiden Turner fans were away for Xmas and didn't notice the poll. We need to keep a check on it in case there is a late surge.

Trying out a new way to create photo links to attach here...hope it works! Anyway don't think this article has been posted before but it's one from early in the series. Lovely photos of Giovanni and Joanne, and Gio correctly predicts that Ed will be a hit

Perhaps it's a case of not being able to separate actor from character. Ross was a bit of a git in the last series of Poldark

Love how classic he always looks in his photos. Like an old 1950's film star.

Can't help you there but I just hope this film is not part of Gio's research for music for his show. I thought maybe his last film clip might have been some sort of hint and I was ok with that but this one not so much.

I don't use Instagram so I'm not really sure what you're referring to but Nicole Sherzinger did play Grizabella in Cats if that's any help.

I thought it was a tiny clip from Dreamgirls - the man you see is, I think, Jamie Foxx and the lady next to him is the 'plain' version of Jennifer Hudson before she becomes a star. Not sure who is singing - is it Beyonce.... with very 70s styling?

Yes.. its Beyonce.. singing 'Listen' from Dreamgirls (clip from movie below)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj8bsHOKKzY

Can't see how that fits into the Dance is Life story about life in an Italian town

It is a really intense, big, emotional soul ballad though - it is the sort of song that lends itself to choreography so you might be onto something with your thought...

Thanks for the info. I am a bit ignorant about films. Let's hope this particular one is just Gio watching random films as he relaxes on his break.

And new news... Amy D'Angelo and Fabio D'Angelo are guest artists on the Dance is Life tour. Amy Ward, before her marriage, was best friends with Joanne Clifton, who went to their wedding in Siciliy last summer - Fabio is a fellow Siciliano!

They are ballroom specialists so will be a fab, fab tour. Thrilled to hear this.

I am ashamed to say that I didn't recognise Beyonce at all in that clip due to the styling... it was Jamie Foxx I spotted.

I have seen this on Twitter.... so.. ummm... maybe it's not actually 'official news' yet. But it makes sense.

Fabio has just tweeted a cheeky wink to the Tweet so.. confirmed then.

I agree and they do fit in with the Italian theme.

I wonder what the surprise is that Gio talked about in an interview. Do we have to wait until the show starts?

Generally with this sort of tour they drip feed bits of news so that there is something new to announce every couple of weeks, with a fresh press release, to keep the ticket sales ticking over.

I bet the Fabio and Amy news will get something more official in due course. Fabio and Amy are based in Hull..

Booking Grimsby Auditorium is quite a big deal as it has 1,200 seats - his other venues are around 300-450. If I had to take a wild guess, there will be a guest slot at Grimsby.

Joanne Clifton's tour of Thoroughly Modern Mille finishes on June 24th. Gio's tour (second phase) starts on June 27th. So.... I wonder if Joanne might dance at Grimsby?

Edit: And Gio has retweeted the news about Amy and Fabio... so definitely definite then.

You beat me to it. Thank you for info. I got the impression the 'surprise' was relevant to the whole tour but I may have got that wrong. However a 'Joanne' appearance at Grimsby does make sense but if there is a 'story' to the show how easy would it be to fit in an extra character? Unless of course one character is played by more than one person. Someone else could play the character until Joanne was free. Forgive my ramblings everyone.
