The real passion for me, began with Gethin Jones and Mark Ramprakash. Had only a vague idea who they were beforehand (sorry chaps). I loved how shy they were, how difficult they both found the performance aspect of the show, how hard they worked.<\/p>\n<p>And they&#8217;re both hot.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very happy wading in the shallows!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s rare that I know who the &#8216;celebrities&#8217; are before they shimmy their way down those famous stairs. Believe it or not, even though the Say it With Sequins series is based on a similar dance show, I don&#8217;t watch all that much reality TV. But it doesn&#8217;t matter I don&#8217;t have a clue who Mark Wright and Caroline Flack are, I like to watch the process by which they learn the dances, realize how hard it all is and treat their blisters. Most of all I love the glitz, the glamour &#8211; the dresses!<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s the comic turn. Who can forget Julian Clary&#8217;s maracas? And was Russell Grant really shot out of a cannon, or was that the stuff of nightmares?<\/p>\n<p>In an interview recently, with one of the presenters of the show, it was suggested the couple who had the most chemistry tended to be the most successful. Read &#8216;chemistry&#8217; however you like! That&#8217;s the thing I most love &#8211; it&#8217;s a double espresso of people watching. Who gets on? Who smiles annoyance through their gritted, whitened teeth? Who <em>really<\/em> gets on?!<\/p>\n<p>My tips?<\/p>\n<p>Most likely to be the comic turn: Alison Hammond<\/p>\n<p>Most likely to go out first: Gregg Wallace (sorry, lovely Gregg)<\/p>\n<p>The one with least natural talent: Steve Backshall<\/p>\n<p>The heartthrob: Thom Evans<\/p>\n<p>The surprise: Mark Wright<\/p>\n<p>The most endearing: Jennifer Gibney<\/p>\n<p>The one most likely to win: Pixie Lott (for that, read I&#8217;ve absolutely no idea!)<\/p>\n<p>I wish them the best of luck. They&#8217;ve all got a ten from me!<\/p>\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n<p>Georgia x<\/p>\n<p>PS If you want to read what<em> might<\/em> go on backstage in a show like Strictly, catch Say it With Sequins.
