hated John

any ideas?

Show-business is a precious business. I am sure many of them loathed the fact he was adored by so many voters but I doubt any of them hated him.

I don't know about the word "hated" as that is an extremely strong word but it was blatantly obvious that Cherie Lunghi and her professional partner had a very strong case of sour grapes and Boag E is rumoured to be extremely competitive . I think it is safe to say that Josie and Christine were friendly to John.

I doubt any hated him. James Jordan didn't like him, or at least resented the fact that he stayed in while other dancers had to go.

It was probably more a case of people feeling a bit resentful and showing it, creating an atmosphere. That combined with some of the judges' antics.

Cherie Lunghi hasn't said anything at all about John has she?

I don't think he was hated, as such, but I think his position in the competition was disliked by certain people.

from what I've read (always taken with a pinch of salt) Lisa & Brendan seemed very supportive of John

They all seem very keen especially Lisa to come out and support him now he has gone.....after all there are all those votes to try and get! All though there was silence supporting him at the time.....funny that!

Der Chef says

I think the celebs that really disliked him are long since gone.

Mind you Jessie Wallace was spitting venom at everybody apparently

Ohhh Yeah

Brendan voiced his support for John when James Jordan had his outburst

Much like you have with them
