Obviously it was going to happen with there being two siblings in the final, but it's pretty scathing in places. Make me wonder if James Jordan secretly wrote it Joanne is described as 'brusque' and Kevin is described as being the big I am who makes little effort to get to know to the newer pros. Also says that he isn't close to Alijaz. It makes Karen out to be a massive bitch and claims that she doesn't get along with Natalie.

I think the writers have been reading this forum as they talk about Clifton favourtism and the fascination with Kevin's hairline

Hopefully they will be in it tomorrow again, but this time crying that they lost.

Here it is

Feel a bit sorry for Oti. She's getting hugely overlooked.

Second post in and the nastiness starts.

Although I'm not a fan, their parents must be huge!y proud.

I think I'd rather be overlooked than have an article like that written about me

I wonder where they got the stuff about Natalie and Aljaz from? I don't remember reading anything like that on here. Could just be the DM 'journalist' picking random names off their list of Stictly dancers I suppose.

I find it hard to believe that Joane is 'brusque'. She seems to get along well with her fellow pros, including Ola, and we all know there's no love lost between her and Karen.

Methinks that reporter has been reading these forums

It doesn't ring true to me, especially the part about Aljaž and Kevin. I thought Janette and Karen were best buds, and although that doesn't mean their other halves have to be, I think they must hang out together. Weren't they all in BTF at the same time, too? I've never read about any enmity between Nat and Karen either.

'Brusque' is one of the last words I'd have reached for in connection with Jo. Very strange.

It's funny it's a horrible article but the biggest reaction I had to it (and the only reason to read about for sheer idle curiosity about what shit they're making up this time) is the Kev and Jo were really cute as little kids - I saw it and went ahhh. Kev weirdly enough looks a bit like my brother at the same age I suppose since we were originally from Manchester some vague family link isn't that unlikely.

It also said Karen didn't get on with Will Young when actually all of the evidence is to the contary and the fact she called a couple of hacks liars and actually used their names (one of them was Dan Wooton of the Sun BTW) on her twitter account for publishing a story in which actually made her out to be the victim (ergo it was not self interest would prompted her actions) would suggests that she was at least fond enough of Will to care that he was being libelled in the press.

It's the Daily Fail 🤓
So probably utter rubbish (lies)

Absolute bulls*** (then again, what else would you expect from the Fail)

It probably is and whoever wrote it has no idea how sibling relationships work - you compete and sometimes have massive fights especially when you're children but you sometimes get on like a house on fire.

I can believe that Karen doesn't get on with Natalie but I don't think it's nasty - I think they're just different people. Karen strikes me as fiery and very direct whereas as Nat is very touchy/feely and kinda of sentimental. It probably means they don't have enough in common to be mates but they probably aren't at loggerheads either - they only evidence for anyone having a problem with Karen is Ola.

It has to be remembered at all times that the Fail HATES the BBC so anything it can do to tar it is great in their opinion.

Yes, Kevin HATES the other pros, especially Aljaz.

He's just tweeted this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BOHU5IOjQXU/

"Keith is so eminent that there was even talk about him replacing Len Goodman on the judging panel when he retires."

I'm sure that would go down well!

I know! Can you imagine the meltdown on here if that happened?

Your dad wasn't a milkman by any chance?

I don't think even these producers could be stupid enough to think a father, voting for his kids and DIL, wouldn't be biased!!

Definitely!

Although they've added their own creative spin with the stuff about Karen and Natalie and Kevin and Aljaz.

There was a version of this article around last week for the semis, but it wasn't as unflattering, was mostly just about their lives and their parents. Obviously didn't get enough hits - had to add in some drama!

I reckon DM journos have been looting and sacking this forum while it's been on read-only. The article's near enough a complete lift of some of the sh1te written here.

the stuff about Keith and judging is BS the whole article has been mangled together from reading social media - the bit about Aljaz is laughable - he is his best friend - and Gio and Gorka (new pros) are part of the musketeers

The DM is just as bad as the Sun these days, utter rubbish and def a lift off from here
