Paul O'Grady thinks it's time for same sex couples on Strictly Come Dancing.
He says the BBC One series should follow his revived version of Blind Date. Paul replaced the late Cilla Black on the show which returns Saturday night on Channel 5. The new series has opened its doors to anyone looking for love, regardless of sexuality. “We’ve brought it into modern times," Paul said in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper. "We’ve got same-sex couples. "They should have them on Strictly, it’s ridiculous." He told the tabloid: "The only dance two men should never do is the tango. It’s two fellas vying for position of top dog. It’s masculine and aggressive, the proper Argentinian tango. “Strictly’s been going for years. It needs something to liven it up for a bit longer." And Paul suggested: "They’re scared because they’re public funding and they’re scared of public reaction going, ‘I don’t want to watch this kind of filth on a Saturday night’. We’re not looking at an alien orgy.” Earlier this year, Strictly judge Shirley Ballas also backed including same-sex couples on the show. Shirley, who joined the show last year, said she'd "embrace" the change. Shirley's fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood previously predicted same sex couples would be seen on Strictly one day. The Strictly star thinks it's only a matter of time before the BBC relaxes its rules on the current mixed gender pairings. "I think same-sex couples can exist - you only have to decide who's going to go backwards really, don't you? That's the only difference." Craig said. https://tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/st...e-dancing.html

I think 2 hot girls would work best in racy outfits but otherwise keep the format as is.

Nicky he works for Ch5 now.
He has no right to tell the Stuffy BBC Producer what to do with his show. |

For me it just wouldnt work. In all the dances its nice to see the man lead and to see what the lady is wearing etc its nothing to do with being politically correct or anything its just what ballroom latin dancing should be. I just cant picture it being the same with two men doing the vienesse waltz etc with each other

not that i know, but i'm also not liking a same-sex dance couple on strictly, most of the dances you need a male lead and you also want to see beautiful dresses on the lady, which can't if it are 2 guys, or you must put one guy in a dress, and no one would want that

Must say that I used to be sceptical until I saw some examples of two men dancing. There are some pros out there who do that and it was STUNNING
It brings different dynamics, like a duel of two equals, quite mesmerising if done right. Last edited by Twosugars; 18-06-2018 at 03:14 PM. |

It's funny how it's yet to happen in Strictly-nation aka UK, but in my country it has already been done almost a decade ago (iirc also the first time in the history of the format).

I googled and he was dancing with a woman, so no?
Gili Shem Tov participated in 2010 and I remember it getting global attention from the media.
