[@la.uralox]

She didn’t explain it very well. I think most of it comes from a close friendship (as you’re with them all day every day apart from sunday for WEEKS) and then you have to act the romantic side for dances and that acting can lead to real feelings a lot of the time especially if you find the other person attractive!

[@nicolecoventry2946]

[@spiltcore]

On It Takes Two recently, Darcey named Jason Momoa as an example of a celebrity she'd be interested in partnering, if she were (just hypothetically) to go on Strictly as a pro instead of a judge. I wonder whether she already knew that they were about to appear on this show together!

[@chrizeldabernil8323]

Have you seen Jaso Momoa dance?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2inh42aftVpodU

[@niptodstan]

She is so sexy. Something about a ballet dancer. I'm a decorator and I did some work for an ex ballet dancer some years ago. She was around 70, but floated when she walked. Had perfect poise and was so beautiful even in her later years.

Amazing seeing Bill on here, completely oblivious to the fact that he would be Strictly champion in 2020!

[@Maulinator69]

This obviously put the seed of thought into Bill Bailey's mind. "Hmmm, I may be an oaf but if I go on Strictly and get paired up with some young filly... Mmmmm" Two years later... lol. Yes, I KNOW he's married.

[@marnieholdsworthgreen8449]

Bill Bailey is on strictly now !! Cool

Yh bud Diane and joe get each others humour and are right for eachother

[@logiclanguagelearningFrench]

Crazy to see bill Bailey. He would never know he was going to win two weeks later

[@lauraduncan8666]

It's so funny that I just clicked on this. It's Nov 2020, and Bill, who is on the couch in this clip, is dancing with Oti and KILLING it! However, I just read an article from one of the entertainment rags where they accuse Bill of being really aloof with Oti when they're not dancing. Perhaps he is remembering this conversation!

Dance has always been my passion and I hope to go far I’m only 11 and I’ve made into a ballet company in London and 3 other dance schools, sometimes I don’t think I’m good enough to become a ballet dancer or even make it into musical theatre 😕 but Darcey Bussell is honestly the most beautiful dancer I’ve ever seen, she will probably never see this but Darcey’s my idol!! 🥰🥰🥰 I’ve also seen her during a DDMIX in Cardiff and it was so much fun I’ve been doing her DDMIX classes online too. Reply to this if you do a form of dance (I do ballet and I’m on pointe shoes) 🩰

[@leeohmoon231]

dancing like that is to be very close to your dance partner for so many weeks, every day, all day, but still it is in your head how you will approach it, it could be very meaningless, work-based-relationship or you`ll get all the wrong ideas... only stupid ppl break marriages to Strictly,

Hey look at Bill.

[@aceadequatec4717]

"Hook-up"? Damn, I wish I had some half-assed attempt to visual what this could mean.

[@af-qg2gh]

joe and dianne!

[@navtektv]

The reality is that dancing a sort of sexual language a lot of dancing originates from early forms of courtship where expressing their desires was frowned upon so feelings and emotions were delivered through various forms of dance, it's the silent language that speaks volumes. So when compatible people engage in this form of communication the body can't help what it wants, and these people spend hours alone together. So when your body demands its natural satisfaction after a sensual dance like the tango or the salsa, it's on the individuals if they are strong enough to resist, or if they even want to. Dancing is not a new thing, throughout history at lot of people passed down their knowledge and history to the younger generation through dance, tribes communicated with each other through dances, even a lot of political dealing were held among ballroom dances. Nobility recognized each other through their forms of dancing and even birds and mammals court each other through dance. It's never just dancing, it's a form of language that is sensual and ancient. You can't help but feel closer to your partner when you dance with them and the close proximity, mixed with pheromones and heightened senses, hyper awareness of each other's actions and a stressful competitive environment, why wouldn't they seek comfort in each other, even when it might be ill advised or illicit.

[@teleopinions1367]

French Provincial - The whole concept of the show is to chill out. That's why they give them alcohol. You are not allowed to drink on TV in the USA. So, somebody might be shocked to see that they serve alcohol in a national televised show. In any case, Momoa can sit anyway he wants.
