he's a big hit with the ladiees - very tactile and funny. He would laugh you into bed, you know that feeling don't you

Hear hear. Now that BBC have seen how the public warm to her, perhaps we might see her from time to time doing a little presenting, her forthcoming baby permitting.

Confidential - the real reason for Penny's temporary departure:

Look on the bright side. Strictly's loss is photography's gain.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there has been a unanimous decision in any of the dance-offs. I believe the judges decide who they want to stay, then to make it look closer, one of them agrees to vote for the other one, with Len having the "casting vote" to confirm what they all think anyway.

There may be times when there are two very similar couples in the dance off and there will be genuine disagreement but so far I think it's been obvious which couple should stay, with the exception of Penny and Gabby in their dance off when it was blatant favouritism to keep Penny in when she was nowhere near as good as Gabby. She may be better than some of the struggling ones but was certainly not up there with the front runners.

What I'm hoping for now is that when or if Kate ever has to do a dance-off, there won't be any hypocritical stuff about it being a hard decision to let her go.

There have been 2 thus far - Willie vs John and Dom vs John.

Oops! Sorry about that.

I just can't get past the chin and the cheesy grin
