Personally I think Anton is the best of all the professionals... apart from being a fantastic dancer, his personality, charm and wit really bring something to the show that the other professionals do not... does anybody else agree?

I think he is fabulous - I think he is the vbest at Ballroom by far, but I have to say brendan beats him as far as Latin is concerned!

His personality is absolute magic, especially when he is with Lesley Garrett!!

I can see what people are saying about Brendan, but personally I think Darren was a better Latin dancer than him. Obviously Anton was the best ballroom dancer! Plus his personality is fantastic - he is so funny but can also be a bit of a charmer too!!!

I've met him It was actually really embarassing, because when we left the dance studio I was running around yelling, "Ohmigod, ohmigod, I met Anton Du Beke!!!!"

And then I realised he was behind me Oh, the shame.

We got his autograph, and he even has LOUIS VUITTON NOTEPAPER

Oh, and his real name is something like Tony Beeks My great-nan knows him, she works at The Rivoli Ballroom in Lewisham.

Oh My God! I cannot believe it - I am so incredibly jealous!!! Was he the same in "real life" as he is on the show?

He was really nice to my sister (she's, like, this mega-incredible dancer and the only juvenile [under 11] dancer they being taught by the best up at this place), and he was very full of himself.

He just laughed at me

You're having a laugh aren't you? Absolutely no contest-

Anton with Lesley

They were just brilliant together. They danced together so well, had great chemistry and were so much fun! I think they should have their own show!!

I definitely think Anton and Lesley too but some people disagree... I wonder if anyone will be brave enough to say if they do! Alos ther eare far more pictures (not that I've looked or anything ) of Anton out and about with Esther than there are of him with Lesley. At first I got the impression that he got on far better with Lesley... now I'm not so sure.

Anyway on another note - I think Lesley and Anton are in that "King of the Waltzes" show to be shown on BBC2 soon together in case anyone is interested.

I think there is more to that than meets the eye, whether Anton prefers ER!!

Can't imagine it myself!!! Anton and lesley all the way - give them their own show!!

Who are these people that disagree?? Name names and I'll sort them out!!!

There are photos of Anton with Lesley- you just have to know where to look! He's still giving her dance lessons too, and they share the same agent.

Can't wait for the Waltz King. BBC1 6.35pm on Sunday.

I know I love Anton. I wanted him and Lesley to do a kind of Richard and Judy style show but with a regular musical and dancing spot.

That's a brilliant idea. I'm loving it! Write and suggest it to the powers that be!

I love Anton.

I love that BB has finished as I can now indulge in my two other fav reality shows...X factor and this.

Anton is such a nice guy..I wanted to win him last year in that competition they had...but sadly, I didn't. I think asking him to come and weed my garden for an hour may have put him off.

Anton is wonderful. If I were going on Strictly Come Dancing as a celebrity it would be on the condition that I got him as a partner. Seeing Patsy's joy on saturday made me realise that if he can make a wingy girl like her enjoy it that much, anything is possible. Anton is lovely.

*shrugs* Each to his own I suppose. Personally I love watching Anton and Erin dance ballroom - I find there's a real old school charm to their routines.

Met Anton myself at SCD a couple of times and he is definitely confident in the extremely but was plesant, very good humoured and very charming.

Maybe you've had a different experience of him, but such is life!

Can't allow this Anton-bashing without having my say!!

I LOVE Anton. He seems like such a gentleman.
What does it matter what he used to be like?
I'm sure there are few here who have been saintly and nice all their lives.

He has been a total star on SCD. He seems charming and attentive to all of his partners. He is SO encouraging of Patsy and tries to bring out the best in her in every dance they do.

He dances like a God and as for wearing a shirt and tie ALL THE TIME....
You've got to love it!!

Becks
