I was just about to ask the same thing Not an expression that I have ever come across

Editor is Paul Dacre. You can write to him at letters@dailymail.co.uk. I've already fired off a missive!

He's had at least one very serious relationship (with a female!) so I don't think he is.

In response to the original question, Erin and Anton [i]are not[/] married, but he has previously said in interviews that he refers to her as "the wife".

Link is working again now but it still says Nicolas Parsons.

Hi Dorothy

No, Natasha & Mike were never engaged, together for 12 years though.

I thought maybe something to do with Martin & Erin? Didn't they have something going on? I may be wrong. But to be honest, I think the chances are the Daily Mail is wrong.

Unfortunately so much of press journalism is these days.

I only look at the pictures, and some were rather lovely.

No kidding......

Well done!

I think I must be on their blacklist, as I registered to leave comments underneath their online articles, but everytime I do, they're never published!

Perhaps if I just said, "great article" and "lovely pictures" they might be one day!

He has??? I was convinced he was gay. Perhaps it's not that black and white, it isn't for everyone. Not that it makes any difference, still think he's a lovely guy (not to mention fab dancer!) Sorry to be inquisitive but do you have inside info?


I bet a lot of the pro dancers are like married couples! I think Anton & Erin might have had a thing going once, but didn't come to anything.

Well donce FT. This article looks no better than a fifteen year old's effort at cobbling together an essay for GCSE by plageurising the internet and other articles. Factually appalling.

The bizarre thing is that the Mail on Sunday, their sister paper, had a long interview with Anton just last sunday where he clearly stated he was single and had no time for a relationship. The "journalist" who wrote this article didn't even have to go far to get Anton info!

Nicola Butler They must have thought: Cutler? No, can't be right, there's already a Cutler on the show..

Yeah - Ian is gay - Zoe Ball said so when she was dancing with him. There was that whole thing where Craig said that she and Ian would make beautiful children (or summit like that) and later Zoe said her husband never worried because Ian's gay.

Didn't you see that series?

He got voted off. His routines were full of hesitation, repeatition and deviation.

Now just a minute there, loulabelle. Are you trying to be provocative again or something? Soon you will be claiming that he danced with the lovely Samantha.

Isn't Anton dating Caroline Feraday???

Maybe Zoe just told her hubby that...

Is Bruno really 52 then? I thought he was younger. He's worn well if he is.

While we are on the subject of couples, Are Vincent and Flavia a couple on and off the dancefloor?

Yes.

(I am filler, hear me roar.)

Is that yes to Bruno being 52 or Vincent and Flavia being a couple?

Vincent and Flavia. Sorry, I took the Bruno bit out of the quote but it didn't work for some reason.

I think he might be, though.

EDIT: Yes, he is. Was born in 1955.

Both.

They broke up earlier this year, according to the interview Anton did for the Mail on Sunday.

He's better off without her. I remember her from her radio show on LBC and she used to boast about "being drunk and falling down the stairs" when out with her mates. Very unladylike and totally unsuitable for Anton.

She is a lot younger than him, though, I guess everyone has the right to be foolish when they are young. But I agree with you, Anton deserves the best!

I didn't know they had split up - she used to date Frank Skinner too I think. Ooh so Anton is on the loose then. I think he's lovely

Not only have I heard that but I think they have a child together. There was certainly a lot of ribbing in ITT last series about Denise expecting and Claudia asking Ian how she was getting on?

I love Anton and I know that his celeb dance partners love him but I just assumed - I know, ass out of u and me - that Anton was gay.
