Someone like Alison H next year please - warm, funny and with good timing.

I think Gio would get on with anyone whatever her age or ability

yes, five years older than Gio

Enjoyed ITT tonight and the clips of the dances in training for Musicals Week - they are all looking very, very good to me. Excited about Ore and Jo Clifton's Foxtrot - it might be quite magical.
On the pro challenge, I wonder if Gio has his eye on this one? Jive being 'his favoreeet dance' as we know. I think I am tipping Gorka or Gio for the win on this.”

I need a "thud" mat every time I see a photo of Gio

am looking forward to Danny and Louise's dances as they're my favourites now, I thought Danny's samba was fantastic ... loved the routine and the music and I think Gio should do well in the pro challenge

I'm a huge fan of Matthew Cutler so it was great to see him on ITT on Monday although I was a bit annoyed that Zoe only had about five minutes to chat to him and Erin

seeing Matthew made me reminisce about some of the lovely pro dances from the early years of Strictly and I can't imagine Matthew, Nicole, Darren, Lilia and Camilla performing a routine like that

Anyway, talking of theatre...my tickets to Gio's show have arrived already, with meet and greet afterwards. Eek!

I'm still hoping for a Gio calendar, do you think I should have a word with Gavin ?
How exciting, which venue are you going to
