So John Seargent has left Strictly

I think this is rather a shame, actually. The whole thing with John felt different than last year with Kate Garroway, but that may be just that I found her so excruciatingly annoying whereas JS is endearing. ( I do think it's all got rather out of hand though when this was the second lead on News at 10. )

( James Jordan has obviously completely lost the plot though. )

Oh and Brian Fortuna! The more I see of him the more I love him! I adore it when he does the critiques of the practice or the choreography. He talks sense! And isn't afraid to make quite pithy criticism but avoids the bitchy tone that Craig always seems to have. Craig often says sensible things but it's the way he says them. And then there are Brian's extraordinary eyebrows. And oh he can dance!
