Presenters

The details of the incident and her injuries will quite rightly remain private, but if her outfit caught fire and she was standing up, then the flames would have travelled upward unless they could drop and roll her. The whole family must be traumatised and my heart goes out to them. As Claud says, she's in the best place, having the best care. I'd like to add my best wishes to them all, and wish the little girl a speedy recovery, with lots of pain relief.

When I saw T ess and Zoe in matching T shirts and sunglasses and laughing like Blond Hyper Twins,  it reminded me of two female comediennes who used to do a weekly sketch taking off Davina & Claudia. The comediennes were both dressed the same, but one used Davina McCall's catchphrase and the other Claudia's. Every week Claudia & Davina would meet in various situations, then go into hysterics and laugh themselves stupid.

I hope Tess remains the 'straight' presenter, leaving Zoe as the madster sidekick. Two blonde lookalikes, both acting hyper, is exhausting.

Great to see Claudia back, but I kept shouting SHUT UP T ESS at the TV.

Talk about bigging up her part. I thought she'd never shut up. Never ending, non-funny quips between dancers, constantly butting in when the judges are speaking, verbal diarrhoea with the dancers before she sends them off to Claud. Calm down girl and get a grip, or you'll be on mute next week.

This is why B4P Id like to see Tess with a partner and keep C.laudia on the balcony with the celebs and dancers! A trio combo for me please.

I so agree with you B4p

That is a really good idea Sax...............I think it would work well

T ess is not funny and I'm getting a bit fed up of the commenting upon the judges scores - that is not the role of an anchor presenter in any show in my book.

Spot on and I made this point elsewhere. It tends to be a dig at C.raig's scoring. Err girls he is the judge and expert and you are presenters so stick to presenting and leave the judging to the judges.

Interesting that Zoe actually served to calm Tess down....a tiny bit.....maybe 'cos Zoe is taller, just as blonde and after all has been a contestant. Tess must have been given some particular instruction by the producers. She is the kind of professional who does what she is told.

A nton and C laudia doing the show, with Zoe Ball in the Clauditorium could transform the show. Make it more worldly and less coldly professional, if you will. A nton is a relaxed character with a sense of humour who's days competing must be near their end. Perfect choices for me.....

You LURVE A.nton don't you?

Tess is doing a lot of the tings that people used to moan about B.ruce doing - talking too much, judging the dances etc. So I suspect we should perhaps blame the producers...

I do like people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves or take themselves too seriously, and Housewives choice nicely fits that bill.

I agree TANGOLERO. A.ton always gets lumbered with no hopers but keeps smiling through even when slated by the judges and keeps a cheery disposition. Like his dry sense of humour as well.

I've said this before, and I'll ay it again...

...but B.rucie used to witter on FOREVER, was incredibly unfunny, couldn't deliver the "jokes", commented on the judges score quite often... But that was ok was it?

I find Tess very warm, much better at delivering the jokes that are written on the autocue (so she HAS to say them), is very lovely wiht the contestants (remember she is used to talking to them in what used to be Tess's room) and I have no problem with her chatting to them. She is more human and real and yet professional. I see her as a very good headgirl type presenter and is someone I would very much like to go to the pub with and have a girly chat. I would with Clauds too - it would just be a different style.

I really LIKE Tess and think her and Clauds work brilliantly together - Madcap Mollie and and the nice Headgirl.

Glad you had a good weekend celebrating and hope your edges are less frayed D&P.

What I said, only you said it more eloquently and succinctly!

I would like T ess to thank the band and singers more, and particularly to say which singer was accompanying which dance e.g. "and thank you to Hayley for singing her version of 'Somewhere only we....'

I would like Bradley Walsh and Anne Hegarty to compere the show. The dance knowlege might be limited, the fun would make the T.V set explode.
