The title of this thread makes no sense ! I initially thought...there's two Darren Gough's ? LOL !
It is a shame Lilia didn't feature - either as others have said it was a stand in or Darren wanted the exposure for himself. As it is, it just looks ridiculous. If it were a stand-in, at least have her back facing the camera whilst in hold or something !
I did figure it wasnt Lilia, seems to me Darren wants royalties to himself which is a shame as without Lilia I doubt he would of got past the second round.
And yes i did think Lilias face looked like thunder at the end mind you dont blame her.

As she was off competing elsewhere at the time of the shoot
When Claudia chastised him for not having Lilias photo
on the front, he said well she's got plenty of coverage inside. (on photos).
Typical Goughie, always wanting to hog the limelight.
Anybody else think he looked a bit Billy Bunter-ish ?
I find it a bit pretentious of Darren to write/'allow to ghost-write on his behalf' a book on dancing and conveniently bring it out during the present SCD series. I would rather buy a book from one of the professionals any day. When I hear that, I think that Colin would have made a better champion and I'm sure he would have allowed his partner to appear on the cover of the book.
No wonder Lilia looked fuming she is obviously very good at what she does she is even making Matt look like a dancer.
I just feel he is not good enough to teach as I never really rated him. To me it just seems MONEY to me and obviously the man has not much loyalty.
But go Claudia for asking why it was not Lilia on cover

I know, it smacks of commerical opportunism. Making a buck off Strictly. If any winner should have done a book it's Jill or was a.) amazing and b.) went on to do it professionally.
Colin has always been the winner for me, regarldess of the GBP.
I know Ian and Camilla have a DVD out am so tempted to buy it, and I think Jill halfpenny had the charisma and skill to do a book totally agree with you.
I didn't think she looked fuming, but that might just be my interpretation. I thought she was concentrating, looking at the techniques, while Darren, who was looking offscreen sometimes, was just enjoying the performance.

You didn't see the penguins because they are part of a Persil campaign.
The big Persil logo on the huge board on the wall behind Darren at the Leapfrog nursery was blotted out in post production.
Claudia quickly moved the conversation away from the penguins because of this.

For cryin' out loud! How can you say that?
Neither you nor I have any idea what Colin would have done!

And I'm also sure he's capable enough of writing his own book!
It seems crazy that the beeb won't allow 'the Persil penguins ' on yet allow free advertising for the new CD's of Michael Bolton,Nelly Furtado and the hideous rock mangling Michael Ball
