Having rasied the possibility on the thread devoted to that famous chef that I actually think Darren has got better looking as the show has gone on, and been shouted down I felt it only wise to move 'threads' before being heckled!!

Darren is now 'doing it for me' on so many levels, and I would be devasted if he was not in the final.

Is there anyone else out there that thinks he has the body, the biceps and the 'balls' (of his feet of course) to go all the way?

Darren is cuteness wrapped up in a little bouncing bundle. Very light on his feet too.
I wonder how tall he is? I get the impression he's not so tall.
I love his cheeky grin and the variety of faces he pulls when he's dancing.

*sigh*

he's about 5'11" quite tall enough i'd say

Oh.My.Hat... did you see the end of ITT tonight?! I very nearly passed out at the sight of sexy Darrens rather delicious buttocks thrusting away! Ooh, the thoughts I had! Please, please can I keep him after the show finishes?!

He is a cutie, after reading an interview with him my mum cut out of her paper last week, I am really warming to him.

And not 'cos I like cricket as actually he was one of my least favourite cricketers before this.

I still do not have a favourite, but he is in my top three.

sorry, i have first dibs

Ooh Bohochick, what paper was he in? My mate keeps her papers for weeks so I might get lucky with that! He is definitely my favourite...both to win and because he's gorgeous and seems really sweet. Oh, and also for that body!
And ~V~ don't be mean... can I have him if I promise to look after him and play with him every day?!

no


(i was tempted to leave it at just that but of course DS does not allow humour in brevity)

Well I'm the same height. I would prefer him to be a couple of inches taller but hey, I'm more than willing to overlook this one and only flaw he seems to have.

Aww see, this is why I should get him..I'm 5'8 so he's the perfect height for me! Ooh, can you imagine snuggling into him with those arms wrapped around you?! Yum!

'twas in the Daily Mail about a week ago. A page interview with a photo.

All about how his marriage was ruined due to cricket, how he loves his kids and is still huge friends with his wife, why he went on SCD, etc, etc.

Really really interesting. I didn't know alot of it to be honest.

I don't know that much about him either really... had heard of him before SCD but didn't know what he looked like or anything. Have been a proper saddo and looked him up on the internet, so know a little bit more about him now! Although not in a scary way! lol
From what I've read though, he comes across as a really genuine guy

I love Darren as well, but not nearly as much as James. My mum likes Darren though, she's a cricket fan!

I hope him and Lils get to the final, they're so cool. He rocks taking it so seriously, he's got the right attitude.

I've been VERY lucky to have been 3 times to SCD - weeks 2, 3 and 5. Believe me Darren is everything you all say and MORE. HE really is so much nicer in the 'flesh' and he is absolutely charming!! And I mean that sincerely folks!!

We've made a point of speaking to him each week - and he is so genuinely pleased that people like his dancing. Even Paul 'suits you, sir' Whitehouse was waiting to get him to sign his SCD book this week.

A really nice genuine guy - totally different to how I'd imagined he would be - he's bowled me over for sure!!!

Delighted to see soo many Darren fans out there.....

We really need to apply the pressure though...

A fake tan VT starring none other is what is really needed!!

Darrens youngest son looks like Aled Jones!

Ooh talullahcancan, how jealous am I now?! You have to go into more detail than that though I'm afraid...tell us everything!
Quite looking forward to ITT tomorrow...his two boys are on it having dancing lessons apparently! So sexy dad is bound to be on too!

Oooh I've come over all unnecessary just thinking about him 5"11 is just perfect for me at 5"3, love em tall and strong and all the things Darren is!!

I saw his boys on ITT last night, they were so lush, they're going to be proper little heart breakers when they're older just like their Dad. And when Darren was dancing with that little girl i nearly fell off the sofa with the cuteness of it all. Is it just me or is there something really appealing about a man that is fantastic with kids??

Totally agree I wouldnt go for him if he wasn't good with kids me and my friend were only discussing that the other day! I just love Darren now I think he is amazing and I would REALLY like to see him win! There is something about him and he looks SOOO hot in casual hoodies in the training videos, I love him to bits lol! And his kids are ADORABLE! They are gonna be so hot when they grow up methinks!

Did no one else see my Darren and Lillia appreciation thread!?! Go find it and bump it back to the top!! Darren and Lillia to win!

Oh My God will u LOOK at this picture of him that I just found!

how funny is that!

Darren Bennet was lovely as a presenter on ITT tongight - long may it continue. What a cheerful smile the lovely man has! He can sit on my sofa and ask me questions any day

Opps, wrong thread! Well...it doesn't specify which Darren fantasies are made of

He was lovely. He is lovely!! Got bored writing my essay this morning and watched the ITT he was on after him and Gloria got knocked out. Getting up every morning to take Lilia to the station, bless!

This thread defo needs bumping up! I shall just say 3 words... Saturday, salsa and hips! OMG did you see them move?!

I must have missed this thread ... the Gough is one of my three firm faves ... he's a total hunk .. you can practically see the testosterone rising from him .. he and little Lil are scorching together .. then he comes off the dance floor and proves he's a great bloke and a great dad too .. what a man!

Brilliant!
Another fan of the "hunkier" type of man.
Don't you just want to snuggle him?
I adored him in the jive, the outfit was fab, bum hugging and so masculine. It's a tough job, but he's the man to do it.

Lets not even get started on how fabulous he looks in tails!!

I know what I'm asking Santa for!!
