Homosexual, heterosexual, metrosexual, asexual .. it makes no odds to me , I still love him to bits ... of course, I will now have to change my instructions to Radames re: if Ian ever came knocking at the front door demanding his way with me!

Hiyah, Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but yes he is gay. I couldnt care less really. He is an absolute joy, his love of dancing is so obvious in his face and his energy.
I have lessons with Ian (when he isnt on SCD, that is) and he is so funny, and he never loses patience, even with someone like me who can be guaranteed to get it wrong. He pretends to be cross but we just end up in fits of giggles because he just cant do 'angry' at all! I just love him to bits! He might be gay but he gives lovely hugs and kisses all the same.! I have a pic of him on top of my PC with a personal message from him which really makes me smile every day.

I've been thinking it was sooo obvious last year, But then i thought no, i shouldn't jump to conclusions. Oh so he is!

I love Ian I just think he's fantastic and he doesnt look 35! He also doesn't look gay, but what would I know lol! I've met him before as well and he judged me in a competition, he was so lovely and didn't mind people coming up to him on his break at the competition and asking for pictures and autographs, he really was very, very nice! When he walked into the room all the women were like WOW! He is pretty HOT!

I loved him last series but didnt fancy him that much, but since the blonde highlights he's become the hottest dancer out there, and gratuitous chest flashing helps a lot too of course
So envious of those who get lessons from him, couldnt afford it and live too far away

Still at least I've got SCD and ITT to get my fix of the Waite Wonderdust!!!!!

I met Ian at the first show of the series and he was so warm. He was so pleased to meet Zoe's family. You have to love him.

This week he rushed straight up to Denise when he saw her sitting in the audience and showered her with hugs and kisses.

You've just gotta love him. I do!

Be honest is anyone really surprised about the news that the gorgeous Mr Waite is gay? I'm not. It doesn't take away the fact that is appears to be extremely lovely, caring, funny, etc - he fills everyone's idea of a "nice guy".

That aside - its a dancing show and no one can make it looks as easy as he does.

The lenght of his legs, his devine chest and the cheeky little twinkle in his eyes make Saturday nights for me

Why has this thread turned into a discussion about sexuality? Can we go back to the matter in hand... just how darn wonderful Mr Waite is.

Waite is great!

This is me being officially jealous ( )

loulabelle44 - couldn't agree more - he is utterly wonderful and as I said earlier, he make Satruday nights for me

Hmm, I think I stop should watching ITT because every time I see a professional on there, I decide they are the loveliest one of all (and then change my mind the next day when I see the next one )

Last night I finally got what all the Ian fuss was about! He's such a lovely gentleman, and was so supportive of his prof partner Camilla's celeb partner James. Ian was looking very yummy as well.

So hope nobody minds a latecomer to the Ian fan thread!!

Certainly not! You've seen the light, and that's what matters!

Just realised I haven't even been in this thread yet. I absolutely adore Ian - from his wonderful dancing to his sweet personality. He seems like such a lovely guy whenever you see him. I really hope he does one better this year with Zoe. It'd be nice to see him win.

From your lips to God's ears, Keira!

I'm surprised this has fell so far down the board. Where have all the Ian fans disappeared to? Too busy watching him do the tango over and over again?

Im totally in love with Ian as well! I think he is amazing, bit gutted that he is gay but ah well!, His chest yummm and he seems so sweet and such a lovley guy, and also of course an excelent dancer, Like some others have said he also makes saturday night for me

Hi, great to see Ian fandom being raised high again. Welcome Louloubelle and no probs being a late started, your here now thats what matters.

And well done for getting us back to the matter in hand, what matters is his brilliance as a dancer and his all round gorgeousness, nothing else (ooh and that chest and bum)

Oh and dont kill me but as part of the panel thingy yesterday for Itt we got to record personal messages to our faves, so mine was to Zoe and Ian, ah bliss.........

How lucky! Do you know if it will be shown, or was it just for the contestants eyes?

Something I found in the Belfast Telegraph. Might be useful for Ian's fans over in Ireland

"Ian Waite, who partners Zoe Ball, and Camilla Dallerup, who dances with chef James Martin, are at the Waterfront Hall on January 6 and 7 for a Viennese gala with the Ulster Orchestra."

Hi Keira, no idea when or if they'll show them, guess it will be a nice surprise then if they do. Thought they might show Peaches for Bill and Karen to night but no such luck.

Just as long as Ian doesnt think Im a mad stalker I wont mind!!

Startwirler, I'm sure he'd be thrilled with your message and to know that he's your favourite. Everyone loves a bit of support
