Cruise a fibber, John?

JIBE: Len Goodman

21/12/2008

JUDGE Len Goodman has branded dancing dud John Sergeant the king of spin for quitting the show.

He reckons the journalist deliberately bowed out so he could prance about on a planned cruise.

Len said: "He's a crafty geezer. He's been around politicians for 40 years and they're the greatest at spin.

"He's come out smelling of roses and he's cruising round the Panama Canal."

John, 64, was back to reprise his 'sack of spuds' paso doble last night.

Absolutely amazing choreography! Have had to watch Tom & Camilla again and again! definitely musical material, both of them. The others were good but didn't come anywhere near them, after all it was a showdance. I told my husband last week that it would be a decider, good luck to them both for the future!

well done to Tom and Camilla who won in spite of the judges.A pity they did not give him more praise and higher marks during the series instead of at the end when he won. Thank goodness for viewers power-- we know what we want to see and its not pretty girls floating about in scampie dresses.We want entertaining, and Tom you did that every week.How about finding a musical to suit Tom's talents?

Absolutely on the button;Sergeant had accepted the cruise gig believing he'd be out of the show by the time he was due to fly out; he had no choice but to abandon "in case I won".
Last night he tried to get into the final camera shot and Brucie told him to clear off.
