Dear 'SCD' Deidre!!!

On the lines of the fabulous 'Lazy journalist thread'


http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...d.php?t=683971






(nicking your ideas QM!) I was inspired to write this thread after reading Saturday's 'Sun'. (Under duress.)

Our celebs and us have been writing to 'Dear Deidre' and we and them have been answering.....if you get my drift! Answer as Deidre or post a problem as an SCD person, either/or.


***********

Dear Deidre,



I hate writing this as it seems so silly. But however I have a problem.

I am in a major BBC TV show at the moment and am loving it.

However, my partner in the show is being a little bit controlling.

I keep trying to have ideas yet he shoves his ideas in. When I let him have his way we get in trouble, and when he lets me have my way, we also get in trouble. The people judging the show we are on are pro's so I do understand why they are struggling with us. And I keep giggling in the hope it will help, but it doesn't.

I am not sure which way to turn? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yours

K. Brook

Maybe Miss Brook you should try not to fight him, by it sounds either way you are going to get into trouble. Giggling will not help your case, it makes you look fake and unworthy. It sounds like the judges don't like you because of your tendancy to break the rules, prehaps try explaining to your partner that you are not interested in rule breaking just so he can try to impress certain people on the show.

Well I tried^^^ I'm not a good agony aunt, Great Idea btw

Dear Deidre,

Please can you help me. I am in a quandry. I am in a major BBC TV show at the moment and am loving it.

Over the last few weeks, the judges have been very dismissive and rude about my dancing. However the general public have supported me.

However last week, the tide seemed to turn and the judges were rather nice (well except for that horrible Craig).

However I have been warned that if my improvement continues I will start to lose the public sympathy vote. So I am in a dilemma. Should I continue to strive to improve, or should I pretend to be still really rubbish, in the hope of retaining the sympathy vote?

Yours

Dear G. Logan

I suggest that next time you first aim for a "not bad, but a little wooden", then a good, followed by a very good and then an excellent.

You will find that your "journey" will capture the public's imagination.

Dear G Logan

You must realise that winning is the end game. Can I recommend to you D Gough's excellent book "how to win at SCD".

Dear K. Brook

My first advice to you is this:
Try not to have ideas.

The main problem seems to be that your good self and your partner, are two sides of the same coin, but in this situation, you should let him have his way, then you will only have him to blame if you 'get into trouble'. In all other 'situations', you should take the necessary precautions.

You say you don't know which way to turn. I suggest you turn in the general direction of the dance, always remembering that you do, in fact, have a partner. Failing that, turning in the direction of Bruno, and giving him a nod and a wink, can only help your chances.

Do write to me again with any further problems.

Deirdre

Dear Deidre

I am the undisputed star of a major pro-celeb dance contest. Having spent a few years in the wilderness lumbered with unworthy celeb partners I really thought this was going to be my year to reign again.

Alas, things are not turning out the way I had dreamt. I'm find myself unable to resist my partner's charms and have become putty in her hands. Things have hit an all time low and I'm left feeling that I no longer "swirl the cape" in our relationship.

Has she lost all respect for me? Does she no longer look up to me as the one to guide her, teach her and lead her around the dance floor?

I am really desperate for your help Deidre. This was supposed to be my year again and yet the sparkling glitterball trophy is rapidly slipping from my grasp.

Please help me.

Brendan

Dear Deidre

I am the worlds undisputed star of a major pro-celebrity dance contest of which my absence from which would cause a major plummet in the Saturday ratings for a major television channel.

I am a perfectionist who everyone thinks is very grumpy and underscores various people who do not meet my very high standards of technical aspects of different dances. However I do love the odd corea.. choral boy.... cholre... choreography.

However I do feel I might have underscored one dance last weekend, how do I go about correcting this awful traversity?

My Sincerely
Craig RH.

Dear Craig RH,

Simple. Just underscore every other dance this weekend to make up for it.

Yours,

Dear Deidre

I am actually the world's undisputed star of a major pro-celebrity dance contest and let me tell you, if I left (on my broomstick), Strictly Come Dancing would probably have to end.

I find myself easily distracted by the snakey hips of any man under the age of 45 (excep the pro dancers who probably know about my hormonal outbursts by now and steer well clear).

What can I do to keep myself focused on the dance and not on the crotches of men who are far too young for me

With warmest regards
A.Phillips

My dear Brendan

I hope you don't mind me calling you that, but I have long been a fan of yours.

It pains me to see the shadow dancer you have become.

You need to put you foot down with a firm hand. Tell your partner that you will only be lifting her twice per dance from now on, whatever she insists upon.

She may think of you both as mavericks of the dance, but don't let her turn into Calamity Jane.

Take a deep breath and assert yourself. Your chest is equal to hers anyday.

Yours with unbiased adoration

Deirdre

Dear Deidre

My wife is constantly getting her bum groped and stared at by other men. This makes me very angry but I don't let it show because I don't want people to dislike me. My friends Kenny and james say that I should punch blokes lights out for feeling up my wife but as I'm only 5ft tall this presents a problem - do you think a ladder would help

Yours Sincerely

Sheffield boy

Dear Sheffield Boy,

A ladder would help greatly. Just hit him over the head with it.

Dear Brendan

Have you thought of letting her get own way, give in completely and let her mess up? It's early days, you've still got enough support to survive, and surely she'll learn her lesson then. The judges will tell you off, but they won't mark you that harshly because they love you really.

Oh, you've done that already? Oh, then I've no idea.

Yours
Dierdre

Dear Deidre

I'm a celebrity who has recently taken up dancing. I am finding it very difficult to control my thoughts and consequently my physical reactions when my partner asks me to hold on tighter, grab her thigh or stare in her eyes. Do you think a pair of control pants is required??

Yours

PS Matt D says he has some downy hair growing on his chest - is this normal???

Dear Deidre

I am one of the forgotten pros of SCD. The producers have never deemed me worthy of being given a celeb with potential to go all the way and this year has been no exception. For all her loveliness, there is no disputing my partner Kate has got two left feet. As a result I was preparing myself to be booted out after our first dance.

What I did not expect was the massive wave of support we would get from Garraway’s Two Left Feet cult. This cult has begun to swell and I had started to get my hopes up that we could maybe fumble our way to the trophy this year.

But I was not prepared for what happened on Saturday. Garraway found her right foot! Having said to her “anytime you would like to join in the choreography, it’d be lovely” I never expected that she would actually be capable of doing so. I was stunned. I fear the cult may desert us if they discover the truth!

I find myself looking for ways to sabotage our dance this coming Saturday in order to retain their support. Should I be feeling guilty for having such thoughts?

I’m distraught and confused. Please tell me what I should do.

Anton

Dear boys

Cold showers and bromide. Careful, you must resist or you shall ever more be branded "pervs" on forums throughout the land.

Matt D - you are a freak...I've never heard of a man with a hairy chest. Seek medical advice immediately.
