Strictly Contestants revealed (2011)

My bottom two tonight would have been between three. Nancy, Audley,and Robbie. I do think the right one went tonight.

Excellent dance’s from Holly, Chelsee, Jason, Judd and the other contestants are looking good to.

It’s turning out to be a very good contest, it will get harder and harder to choose who should leave.

Yes indeed farewell Nancy. She looked gutted… I think she was hoping to stay on another week. :smiley: She’s quite a character though :-D:-D Wonder what next week holds.

Yes another good dance from the pros again.

At last the public have made the right decision tonight-cheerio Nancy! My favourites at the moment are, Chelsee, Jason and Holly, and I just love watching Russell-to me he’s the star of the show!

Russell danced through pain last night after tearing a cartilage in his knee. He has to go into hospital in the next couple of days to undergo keyhole surgery in a bid to overcome the injury.

I sincerely hope he won’t have to leave Strictly for good :frowning: Wasn’t someone in a previous show given time off when they were ill?

Knew he had hurt his knee, but didn’t know he has to go into hospital Mags. There was someone in a previous show, but for the life of me I can’t remember his name. Might come to me when I’m not thinking about it:-)

Oh no poor Russell I didn’t know he had to go into hospital either, nor can I remember who the other person was either in a previous show, have been racking my brains but just cant think :frowning:

I can’t remember who it was either… I had a feeling it was a female celeb…:confused:

I think the right contestant went tonight.

We have some strong contenders for the upper end of the dance skills ladder, its going to get interesting as they go further down the line. I’m very much looking forward to it.

Just had a thought and think you may be right Mags about it being a female. Could be totally wrong here, but was she an athlete who had to pull out of the competition completely? Still can’t think of the name though :confused:

I think you’re right about the athlete Merz, can’t remember the name either :roll: but I’m sure there was someone else as well… :017:

I’ll probably be awake all night now trying to remember the name! :lol:

:lol: If you do remember overnight Mags, be sure to let us know!:lol:

I was racking my brains in bed last night and it worked!:lol:

It was Tina O’Brien last year, she contracted chicken pox so she was allowed a bye for one week … if she wasn’t fit enough to dance after that, she would have been forced to leave the show.

Phew! I can relax now!:mrgreen:

Well remembered Mags :slight_smile: I remember it now… was it really only last year? Seems such a long time ago now :slight_smile:

Well done Mags :slight_smile: I’ve been trying to remember who it was on and off all day-can stop thinking about it now thanks to you :slight_smile:

A few have had injuries. Laila twisted ankle, Kate hurt her back, have been others but just cannot think at the moment.
Do hope Russell will be able to carry on. He has lost a lot of weight, doing this show. He really puts his heart into it. Would be a shame if he cannot carry on.

Just seen this on digitalspy…don’t know how true it is…

Ex-Strictly Come Dancing contestant Nancy Dell’Olio is allegedly planning to take legal action against Alesha Dixon over comments made about her on the show.

The Italian entrepreneur, who became the fourth star to leave the contest this weekend, was described by judge Dixon as “a walking disaster” and “not very feminine” following her final performance with partner Anton du Beke.

During an appearance on BBC Breakfast yesterday (November 1), Dell’Olio seemingly joked that she would sue over Dixon’s “vulgar” and “unnecessary” comments, but the Daily Mail reports that the 50-year-old is actually “talking to lawyers” in an attempt to get an apology.

“Nancy was really hurt by Alesha’s comments,” a source said. "The way she looks is, of course, a massive part of her personality.

“She doesn’t mind her dancing being criticised, but she took Alesha’s remarks as a massive slap in the face. She felt it was really nasty to be trashed in front of millions of viewers and she wants an apology - and she’s talking to lawyers to find out the best way to get one.”

The insider further claimed that du Beke was “also appalled” by Dixon’s comments on Saturday’s show.

A spokesperson for Dell’Olio confirmed: “Nancy is now looking at her options as to how to get an apology from Alesha and the BBC.”

Oh dear! :lol: It can’t be any worse than what Craig comes out with!

Nancy Dell’Olio does tend to be a bit of a prima donna though.

Exactly…Craig comes out with some awful things but surely they know when they go on the show that they will be criticised :smiley: Yes your’re right she is a prima donna.

Mind you I did notice that Alesha didn’t take to her!

It was a bit obvious wasn’t it! :lol:

I heard tonight that Russell will be dancing this weekend and he said he will dance every week until the viewers vote him out. What a trouper!:smiley:
He knows if he has the op on his knee he would be very unlikely to return straight away
