think we'll have more celeb women next year again


and i reckon Nadiya is back on the bench



think Michelle will get another partner, after a decent debut partnership


Amy will take one year off i think, giving Lauren a full series


Karen could either have her ''last hurrah'' with a big name or leave

And what other group is getting treated with kiddie gloves every single year? Because I would have the discussion about them too.

Being included is not "being treated with kiddie gloves".

Honestly Mock, I'm really surprised at your stance in this.

I never said that him being included is him being treated with kiddie gloves?

My belief is that the judges were giving Chris bonus points because of his disability, which I personally do think is patronizing and is treating him with kiddie gloves.

That's just my opinion on the topic.

I didn't see any unfair voting. His footwork was right, his frame was right, his timing was immaculate, he rarely went wrong... Kid gloves didn't come into it. But hey... Your opinion is your opinion and you're entitled to it. Even if it's wrong.

Chris by the final was being scored similar to the other three.

That is highly questionable imo.

Another workaround idea that I think that the BBC could consider, see what you guys think.

The Show imo should consider casting at a minimum four disabled contestants a year.

The reason that I say this is that it stops one or two of the disabled contestants being treated differently to everyone else in the competition (because there would be a few of them on the Show) and it means that the public have a choice between a few of them rather than just one or two.

And it does mean that the public will be more likely to treat them more equally, because it wouldn't be one individual standing out for those reasons, it would mean that the public would be expecting some standards from the contestants again.

I just want to apologize to everyone on here with my "disabled contestants should possibly be banned" comments as it is a stupid comment for me to have made for a number of reasons.

I also have two members (that I won't name on here) that I want to apologize to, as I probably went more hostile towards them than I should have over a Celebrity dancing Show.

I do still have my issues with Chris's win (that won't change) but I could've definitely expressed that opinion a lot better.

I hope that I haven't burned any bridges with anyone on here.

german version might have a disabled star too in 2025


Kristina Vogel, former olympic road cyclist, whom had a car accident recently which left her paralysed from the waist, now wheelchair bound


strictly also had a wheelchair disabled contestant too in a special, Hannah Cockroft, she danced with Pasha if i remember correctly

it was a very close call final, even scores wise too, and Chris DID have a perfect 40 for his favourite dance, that lovely slow waltz to that iconic liverpool anthem, which was very much deserving of that 40 how amazingly it was danced, pure dance content and no faffing about
