I'm sure Jamie, and the kids, will be happy to hear that!

Happiest she's ever been after dancing.

Not more digs at Louise.
No matter what she does or says she can't win can she?

I certainly hope not.

She clearly has a great family life - but now is also doing something she's passionate about....what's not to be happy about?

No, she can't because Danny will.

You know perfectly well that is not what I meant although I do agree Danny will win.

Think that was a joke, but Danny has to win, hes head and shoulders above them all .... but Lousie is a lovely young woman and doing very well on there.

danny is the best dancer fer sure, but it's in the hands of the audience who they like. I don't think Louise's personality is special enough for them to take to, like Rachel Stevens (maybe the best woman never to win a series)

Natalie Gumede was better than Rachel Stevens.

Seriously???

I get the comparison and know she was well supported but Rachel to me was a dead fish who could be moved well. I didn't see a nice person particularly whereas with Louise I think genuinely she is a lovely person.

But yes good point.

She obviously meant it's the happest she's ever been professionally.

Some of the posts about Louise on here are terrible.

I loved Natalie. Still haven't got over Abbey winning.

I think there have been terrible posts about everyone.

I agree! She is a lovely, genuine, no frills loving wife and caring mother - I just don't get why the nasty comments.

many people say strictly is the best thing they've ever done, i take that to mean they love it, and with louise that shows in the clear evidence of her commitment to training and to doing the best job she can to deliver the choreography she's learned

I thought that was weird too...
maybe they cut the last bit of it... "... in strictly".

This. She is but there's nothing wrong in enjoying something for oneself and feeling good in addition to having those roles in life. Dancing does that for people.

Greg said the same. It's a well used line.

I've no idea what is being said about her elsewhere, but though I don't disagree with your assessment of her, I find her dancing lacks passion and I have become irritated with her regular comments that she "feels stupid" doing things or can't do the emotional/romantic side of the dances. It doesn't make her (or me, I hope) a bad person, but it does affect my response to her performance.

She is only telling the truth, it isn't for everyone, personally I find Ore and his grizzling irritating to me so I do get it.

I have to admit I don't think I would be comfortable 'acting' romance and attraction to someone I am only dancing with, I am not a performer though.
