I thought he's just being funny with his loverman image, seeing he stutters a little and seems to have difficulty with the English language.

But the training footage shown in ITT today (with Nicole as the teacher), he's a pain in the a$$, isn't he?

He is an annoying one, isn't he

I like Vincent. I think he is just having some fun and he and Louisa were enjoying themselves. I don't think he is doing anything wrong.

He was being annoying during that.

I do! People like him irritated me in school too.

Nicole is a professional trying to teach whilst he behaved like a prat, the other celebrities didn't look very impressed either.

He reminds me of my best friend, they can get annoying but then again I think its just the bits we get to see... I think he's funny and sweet... So laughable though...

I think you can have fun in your OWN training sessions. But when you are doing a group dance, you shouldn't stall time and show 'irreverence' to the instructor, IMHO. He and Louisa may have gotten the steps from the word 'go', but he should spare some thoughts to others who may need a longer time (like Carol and Emma) to pick up their steps.

To be a 'joker' all through the training session (or so it seems from the footage) is wasting other peoples' time, don't you think? And this seemed to be confirmed by Nicole, that he's just not serious enough and was wasting other peoples' time with his silly antics.

It reminded me of school too. The annoying ones who'd always mess about not caring about people who wanted to learn.

Well,Nicole was frustrated with him........they probably only have a very short time to learn that pro dance and if the class keeps being disrupted.......

Detention for Mr. Simone! One hundred lines "I must not mess about in class", please!

They only showed a few seconds of it. He could've been straight for 10 mins and just needed a few giggles cos he could have gone wrong or Louisa did something.

Its all edited for a reaction. It works

Yes, a thousand times yes. Can't *stand* him, hope we don't see him back again next year.

All this "I am wonderful / God's gift" stuff is just so not my cup of tea and his sheer arrogance over the marks ("I think that desrved a 10") wouldn't be tolerated so well if it were anyone else.

You expect that kind of mucking around from the celebs (Patsy did it in the group dance training last year) but not from the professionals. They're called 'Professional' for a reason.

If he was a celeb then I would understand but he will get the choreography quickly. The celebs are the ones with the need for intense training. He should be more professional (in the group dances at least)

I don't know it must take a lot for a pro to have a pop at a fellow pro.

Everybody looked fed up with him

I don't know if SCD has a 'story producer' like other RTV shows....but I wouldn't be surprised.

Then again last year in the group Samba (I think) Anton was being an annoying prat, and I think that little shouty guy (God I've forgotten his name AGAIN and I love him to bits) threatened to strangle someone...

I thought that shouty guy (forgot his name too) did a so-so 'professional' Salsa compared with Mark and Karen's routine... Or maybe it's just me.

Have a look at Carol Smillie's video diary.

She talks about how someone from the BBC, filming at her home, tried to get her husband to say that he wanted to hit Craig.

They also wanted Carol to say she was only having an evening practice because she was so scared. In fact, she and Matt always rehearse one evening a week.

All this led her to take Craig's remarks on ITT about her 'whinging' with a pinch of salt because she thought Craig had probably been wound up.

Its Cha Cha diary 3

Good for Carol!

Lighten up a bit. Honestly Vincent is a breath of fresh air to SCD. It is his first year. This clip is edited anyway. He is a fantastic dancer and a great addition to this years show. He is very funny and this was bound to be shown in this piece of filming. Keep smiling Vincent and Louisa.
There are enough sombre faces on the show this year.

I don't massively buy into the editing - I'd happily not see him in next years show.

I agree with what you say, however, the sombre faces are also edited!!

So basically take everything you see with a pinch of salt?

there is definately some clever editing going on here i hear the group trained for five hours on sunday so with 30 seconds editing it hard to say how the rest of the day went i bet all the pros and celebs had a laugh at some point give vincent a break this show is suppossed to be fun all work and no play makes for a dull person

I love him to bits, but he does irritate me a little bit!!! He's not a jerk though, he's adorable!!

He would drive me insaaaaaaaaaaane though. Flavia deserves a medal.
