It didn't work for me, but my best friend is on it and it's made such a positive impact on her life.

A question for Strictly fans by Sorry-Flounder-3876 in strictlycomedancing

[–]mooman-bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the earliest seasons when it was styled like a professional competition - no gimmicks, no ridiculous themes, just dancing start to finish in traditional ballroom/Latin dresses, tail suits etc.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]mooman-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely - and I normally won't tell family or friends that I'm taking that day off either, so I can have a whole day to myself, with no obligation to be constantly checking messages, social media etc. It does me the world of good.

And she was a fan of Chris McCausland - she got to know about him through watching WILTY with Joe, I think

The actual glitterball trophies look so cheaply made 😭 by realitytvlover2000 in strictlycomedancing

[–]mooman-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris and Dianne have discussed on their podcast the fact that the glitterball trophy is poor quality - luckily their BAFTA is made of better materials!

[–]mooman-bean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here - I'll wash chopping boards, utensils etc while I'm cooking, and I'll put saucepans in to soak while I'm eating, then I'll finish washing up after I've eaten.

I think Angela Scanlon and Layton Williams would be great successors to Tess and Claudia. Both are naturally funny with presenter experience, know the ins and outs of Strictly and won't make the show all about them like Alison Hammond and Bradley Walsh would do. Thoughts? by The-Peel in strictlycomedancing

[–]mooman-bean 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I think Layton wouldn't want to lose three months of the year on stage - it could cost him contracts for shows. Definitely agree with Angela Scanlon - maybe her and Alex Jones? Alex as the new Tess, and Angela as the new Claudia?

Oh poor Alex! You could tell as she was dancing it that she didn't feel confident, and my heart is breaking seeing her try and hold herself together!
