Me too Gill - I loved Danny too - I thought Ore was outstanding but those tears drove me crazy - they were all at it tonight but he has sobbed from day one :roll:

Although it's not set in stone yet, it looks like Darcey Bussell could be favourite for taking over from Len.

I'm just thankful they didn't choose Antony Du Beke. ..nice enough chap but he would have turned the show into a pantomine.

Apparently she is highly regarded in the dancing world having been a champion danced in her day.

Not only that but she is British - brought up in Wallasey - which for those who think that England stops at Watford is a town just across the water from Liverpool!

Well they have to be representative of the British public. So they'll probably have about 70% of the staff. I hear Dianne Abbott does the sums for them....
