I had some sympathy for Will, until I saw the photographs in the press immediately after he baled out of Strictly letting the BBC, his partner and his fans down. He'd obviously deliberately given the media "photo opportunities" by taking stuff out to his wheely bin and then going for a walk in the park.
In his situation it would have been sensible to have kept his head down for a few days, but I think it's indicative of his attention seeking nature.
Arrogant stuff and nonsense - putting the bins out and walking the dogs is 'normal life' and just what he should be doing. Don't know how many pop stars and musicians you know, but I can assure you that most of them live a normal life, doing just that sort of thing - it's not attention seeking.
Ignored.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dove is right. I wasn't putting SGL down, just acknowledging a masterful choreography.
As for Will, he's gone and won't be back on SCD. Don't see the point of speculating on an unknown quantity and especially upsetting each other. We can all have an opinion but don't have to be rude to each other or dogmatic about it
Let's hope Saturday's show is as good as last week's and we get some great dancing to enjoy and chat about.

The reason why I sometimes hesitate to post in general and this thread in particular is because it is so easy for feelings to run high, and be expressed in a way that seems to disrespect others.
I am saddened that Will Young has left Strictly; I thought that his Bollywood fusion Salsa was spectacular. I looked forward to seeing more of his talents, but sadly it is not to be.
I don't read the "redtops" and don't make assumptions. I just think/hope that we, the audience, can move on.
Personally I thought that Singin' in the Rain was wonderful. I thought nearly all the dances were beyond expectation at so early a stage in the competition. I really cannot remember an evening watching the TV that has engaged me so much.
I suggest that we move beyond the personal interpretations (others may very well not agree with me, for example, and that's fair enough) and raise our standards above personal invective. We love Strictly. This year's competition seems better than any that have gone before (and I've avidly watched them all)
So - Saturday beckons. Pick up your popcorn/pizza/canapés/Prosecco/plonk-in-a-box*

Well said Scroggin.
Agree Dove.
He said personal reasons and that should be enough.
Ain't nobodies business but his.
Thank you RB.

Took the words right out of my mouth Dove.
I do think it's very sad that some people on here are being so unkind about someone who is obviously struggling with some personal problems.
Perhaps we should agree to disagree and leave it.
Can we just agree to disagree and let it go.....Please. Don't let's fall out.

I see from Dove's post that DR is still the same old " know it all" and can reside forevermore in my handy "ignore" section.
