Oh dear, we will have to disagree for the first time this series Mama! But hey, at least you won't have to compete with me for Darren's affections

I was developing a slight crush on James Jordan before he turned into a pillock.

Matthew Cutler is growing on me now.....as is the charming Vincent!

Yeah but Austin didn't choose his body out of a catalogue and lie there whilst a surgeon did all the work. He's obviously worked out a lot - rather important for his former profession too. Obviously the look is not for everyone but it doesn't take away the impressiveness of his hard work to get like that.

I like my real life men sensitive and real. However, fantasy men who I allow to appear on my telly should be honed, toned and shirtless

Sid - I'll keep Darren for myself then!

I'm slightly alarmed - I've never gone for short men but I also adore Mr Simone!

We can share him

Or......you can have Darren AND Vincent and I'll look after Papaboogie!!

Nonsense Mama - we all know you keep coal in the bath, clatter the cobbles with yer clogs and keep yer 'ead warm under a cloth cap: not to mention pigeons in t'loft and whippets in't yard.

As for your diet - tripe 'n onions, black pudd'ns and pie, chips 'n peas washed down with a mouthful of Sam Smith's - a heart attack in every glass, on every plate.

How dare any northerner claim to be civilised and well mannered

Speaking of sexy men, hello Ignazio

Hi Sid

Sid!!!!!


You got me under survellience?

I met him and Lilia at a dance event about 18 months ago and I was the first person chosen to ask a question about Strictly (do the celebs get any say in what they wear?) I made HIM laugh - he is a brilliant entertainer and really nice and friendly. Both his and Lilia's dancing was brilliant as always, but unlike Darren, Lilia did nothing else. To be fair, I thought she might have been too tired.

Hello Sidmone my sweet - hope you have your shirt on tonight. Its a bit nippy!!! And what's with all this chatting up going on? Us girlies are getting jealous!!!!!

Wiz - I'm touched that you still call me Sidmone after our favourite pro!

I'm trying to turn Ignazio. He's rather well-spoken and gets very worked up from time to time (which is a very attractive quality indeed).

Always got some loving for you though x

I've just realised I've been on here all day. Must get some work done tomoz!

There will only even be one Sidmone (how's your chest by the way? ) You may want to keep it under wraps from now on - there are some very sensitive souls on here! Easily shocked!

I was one of the complainers and yet most of my pics are of me topless!

If they have bodies like Mark Foster and Austin then yes let them strip! I definitely enjoy it more than seeing Rachel and Lisa having their knockers bopping around anywhere. Although even as a woman I can say I wouldn't seeing Ola in that catsuit more often - wow!!!!

I know - I have one as my screensaver

I should think so too!

How do you stop yourself drooling over the keyboard

Aaaah Ya got me.... (dies...)

Perfect Post . It doesn't do it for me, either. More "Chav's Hen Night" than "Strictly Come Dancing".

But what has stripping got to do with dancing?

I don't see the harm in it meself - a bit of playful fan service - it's not smutty and if you don't like what you're seeing then plenty of others do.

Says more about them than me. I think they would be better off going down the pub and watching a strip show. I tune in for the dancing.

Hi EL

I don't mind a little bit of distraction from the dancing, but all Tess and Arlene have talked about since week 1 is Mark's chest and Austin's guns!

It became somewhat tedious and cringeworthy.

Strictly has always been quite a classy show, but the excessive stripping, squabbling and sour grapes this year is turning it tacky.

But the last 'dance' they did weren't exactly dancing. Also, you could have easily turn off that last bit if you so wish. It's not like Austin kept stripping whenever he had a chance in front of the camera.

Say more about them? Maybe, but it's probably not what YOU think.

I do think you are making a really big deal out of something very minor. Next you will be insisting that the women cover their legs up in case the sight of a naked thigh inflames the male passions!
