DANCING? NO CHA-CHANCE
Without wishing to come over all Mary Whitehouse on the topic, I’m finding it increasingly tedious that Strictly Come Dancing appears intent on becoming Celebrity Love Island with music. The entire show on Saturday night revolved around double entendres and desperate attempts to create a sexual chemistry between the contestants. Claudia and Tess seemed in a total frenzy to spark a full-blown orgy on the dance floor. Meanwhile Gemma Atkinson, presumably recruited for no other reason than to foxy up the foxtrot, is already apparently looking for romance with dancer Gorka Marquez. As for the kerfuffle about same-sex dance partners? Am I the only fogey left believing the show’s supposed to be about dancing, not dating?
