Has anyone got their copy yet? Just been enjoying looking at the pictures were are just stunning and reading the interview which is really sweet but as you expect from Gareth and Suzanne they don't give away too much detail. I think the pictures have been carefully selected and various family and friends don't appear at ther request of the couple to protect their privacy. I have to say first of all that Suzanne looked absoulately stunning in her bridal dress and Gareth had an amazing suit which was specially made from to meet his style and preference not to wear ties. I could not pull it off but Gareth can :laugh: I did think he looked fantastic at the reception in all black. The stars they mentioned attended were from dancing on ice Jane Torvill, Linda Lusardi and Zaarah Abrahams as well as Nicki Chapman and Holly Willobough. I don't want to be harsh but what was Michelle Heaton doing at the wedding and with Gareth on the front cover. I did not think she that close to Gareth or Suzanne. There were VT messeges from Ant n Dec and Dermot O Leary asking where was their inviation :laugh: One interesting bit in the interview is that Gareth and Suzanne said they had not aranged to fly off on their honeymoon! It is really lovely to see two people who are so clearly in love having such a wonderful time with their family and friends and great that fans can share their happiness.

Just back from my holidays and catching up on last weekends show. Thanks to everyone for posting reports and it is good to hear all had a great time and that Gareth was a success :smile: It seems Gareth has made a good impression on the theatre world and surely it is only a matter of time before he stars in a west end show. After seeing how well he did I I wonder if Gareth will be offered a role in this new musical? Hope Gareth has recorded the songs he performed so that we can all get to hear them.

Great news that Gareth will be taking his first steps on the west end stage. It will be a great opportunity to showcase himself to key people and hopefully it will lead to him gettng a lead role in big musical The new musical he is showcasing seems to be a sort of gay version of Cinderalla. I don't know if Gareth is in the frame for starring in the musical but it would be fun to see him taking on a gay role and imagine what Will Young would say :laugh: I like the fact that Gareth's first experience of musicals is something new and quite bold. It is a risk for Gareth but he has always been about challenging himself and this will be a great experience for him (whether he does the musical or not). The demo songs sound quite good especially I wish but the final versions will I am sure sound very different. I can't wait to hear Gareth singing the songs! I wonder if he will just sing on his own or will be sing with the rest of the cast (Gareth might even do a bit of dancing :smile:)

I was at the 02 to watch Gareth and had a fantastic time :hyper: I was there most of the time with my mate all day and what a miserable day it was pouring with rain but we were inside so it was fine. The Tutukarmum Exhibition was amazing btw Anyway onto to the show and we in were the middle tier bit which gave us a pretty view but we were not too close (so no pictures). The 02 arena is amazing and was almost full with nearly 10,000 people I think Andy said it was the biggest crowd for the tour. I felt sorry for those right at the top! Gareth was introduced about 6th and got a big cheer from the crowd and until Chris came on I would say he was most popular along with Kyran. It has to be said that Chris was far by the most popular and everytime he appeared he got a massive cheer from the crowd. Brian Conley was the guest judge and was funny but I had hoped it was Duncan James Gareth was about 6th on for his first dance Livin On a Prayer and he was fantastic. He covered all the ice with speed and did the lifts wih ease, the crowd were enjoying it and were clapping along. When he finished he got a great response one of the best of the first dances. The judges marks were great 25.5 as mentioned with all 5.0 except for Brian who gave 5.5 and Gareth was really happy. There was a nice little inteview with Gareth and Maria was sweet saying he is hard working, fun and has a beautiful face. Andy then asked Jayne if it helped in training that Gareth had a lovely face LOL. Jayne blushed a bit and said he is good to look at and yes it helps!. Chris also mentioned what a hard worker Gareth is. Surprise Surprise Jason gave lovely comments giving his highest mark of the tour and he wanted to get Gareth even higher marks. Andy then asked the crowd what makes they would give Gareth and loads of people put up 6.0 and few 5.5's :laugh: The scores last night were so high 30 for Bonnie and Chris, 29 or Kryan, 28 for Claire and 27.5 for Suzanne so Gareth ended 6th and no surprise he did not make the final (but we did vote for him). Bonnie won despite the fact that most of the crowd wanted Chris to win. After the break Gareth did the 60's routine with the striped trousers - loved the finish where he was kneeling in front of our stand with hands out, chest out and beaming. It was funny that the ended in front of Maria and had to look around to make sure she was there. He then put his hand out to make sure she got appluase which was sweet. He also waved to somone. Gareth did his second dance the beautifal day routine which was another great performance and then appeared at the end. It was amazing to finally see Gareth live and I was so happy that he produced his best dance of the tour so far. As we had a long journey we decided against waiting to see if they came out. I saw Gareth and that was good enough :smile:

I agree with you Khelda. We have to remember that Gareth only started learning to skate four months ago and had little experience of dancing He is now taking part with experienced skaters and others who are trained dancers. No surpise he cannot match some of them in terms of skating ability but Gareth and Maria bring entertainment and fun to the show and I am sure the crowds enjoy his performances. Gareth appears to be having a great time on the show and he clearly loves to dance with Maria. I am sure that when they finish their last dance on the final show it will be quite emotional as they have been through so much together and become great friends.

The idea of Gareth writing a book on how he has dealt with his stammer during his life, the battles he has overcome and his work on the Macquire Programme would be very inspirational. Hope it happens one day. I am sure sometime in the future Gareth will write a full autobiography because he seen and done so much in his first 23 years imagaine what else may follow in the future. I hope I am around to read it :smile:

Does anyone still have the book Gareth released after Pop Idol which was a sort of summary of his life at that point (when your 18 it is not going to cover a lot :smile: ) I guess this is the sort of thing Chris has been offered
