Personally I think Ore used his " presenting " face and language a lot .He is used to speaking through the screen to people and presenting and it came across to me anyway as if he was constantly presenting and fronting a TV programme .He gave an air of " a put " on smile and pre rehearsed expressions and body language
He may well be a lovely man , I dont know him but he came across as not natural and a tad forced IMO”
As I've posted before, Ore was my favourite at the start. I was delighted when I heard he was taking part as his presence had brightened my breakfast viewing from when he first appeared, and I thought he'd be very good. I couldn't take my eyes off him in the first group dance. However, it was less his performances on the dance floor as his 'presentation' in interviews and pieces to camera that put me off. As you say, it seemed "put on" and rehearsed, and very different from how he'd seemed before (or indeed, in his SPOTY red carpet interview after Strictly). I tried to ignore it (I can be very forgiving of an attractive man

) but as time went on it got too much.
Danny, OTOH, I was determined to dislike. He was just the blandly handsome hunk from Hollyoaks who I'd never heard of before. However, he won me over. Now, this may just be because as an actor, he's able to 'do' sincerity better than Ore. *Shrugs*
