It's funny because there were rumours all through the 90s but what surprised me about the LA incident is it revealed he still had a sense of humour I'd thought that disapeared years ago. Ironic when you posted that - RIP George you will be missed.

Difficulty I have with the comments that claim racism, is that this assumes black people have no personality, so the only reason to take against someone must be the colour of their skin. This stops people being seen as people first and foremost.

Because of the mood needs lightening Ore and Greg are such awful teases aren't they? Not so much as an open shirt on the program but the minute they're off it there come the selfies showing off the abs
although perhaps there is a reason tattooed matadors do detract from the mood - Gorka's tatted Victorian gentleman at the beach was a bit of stretch of imagination or in my case powers of being oblivious

I made that conclusion because it's quite obvious what he meant.

As for Oti - she went to University which seems a perfectly normal thing to do, so once again, I have to disagree with your question. Oh and if I ever see a politician who looks like me, I'll smash all my mirrors! |

People like you who make assumptions cause untold problems.

Well colour me confused. It wasn't obvious to me at all. In fact I took it as a comparison - Jay = blancmange/Ore = ice-cream sundae. Both perfectly nice, but one way more exciting than the other.

The reason we don't like Ore is because he is incredibly smug and he came off as knowing exactly what he was doing - he didn't seem genuine at all. It then became more obvious that the BBC were really pushing him to win and would ruin anybody else's chances to do so. I don't understand why anyone should be wondering why people have it in for Ore - when so many posters have already said very succinctly on this thread why they didn't take to him.

I liked Ore at the start, he irritated the hell out of me by then end and I think if his trousers had been a couple of inches higher in his selfie it wouldn't have caused as much comment as it did.
His colour has nothing to do with how I feel about him. |

His colour has nothing to do with how I feel about him. Obviously he was wearing low rise Jeans, perfectly acceptable. I feel a lot of people have a wishful & vivid imagination ![]() Any reason to have a go at Ore |

Here we are with Ore bashing thread number 279 then.
It seems a very long stretch to conclude that because Ore took a topless selfie and uploaded it to social media, this is the (straw clutching) evidence that he is completely false, fake, insincere, deceitful, bla, bla, bla, bla. The steam is still pouring out of the Danny and Claudia supporters' ears and an artificial storm has now been whipped up over an innocuous photo. Hopefully, they can learn to let go of their Strictly 2016 disappointments and look forward to a fresh start in autumn 2017. |

I don't know why you are agreeing with this guy. Did you read my post. No. But you read the assumptions made by this guy.

I can't believe that there is an 11 (!!) page thread about Ore's selfie.

I am not a disappointed Danny or Claudia supporter and I think you are being disingenuous to forum members who like me dont like Ore or his selfie by insinuating that there is steam coming out of our ears. OK we get it that you like Ore, please allow other people who don't like him to make comments it is a forum when all said and done. |

I wasn't going to comment on this thread any more but, as I have just been dragged back on the thread by another poster to explain myself I would like to reply to your post.

Is it OK to allow others to make nasty comments that have nothing to do with what the person really is like? |
