  1. I agree, the wedding was lovely and Gareth and Suzanne looked gorgeous as usual.

    Yes, I was disappointed to see Michelle Heaton there. She seems to be everywhere and would go to the opening of an envelope if it would get her face in the paper. (Sorry, but it is true)!

    She did use to work for OK Khelda but not any more. I think her place was taken over by Nicky Grahame.

    Gareth's dad was not on any photo which is a shame because he too is a handsome man. I read somewhere that he is a very private person so probably does not wish his face to be made public.

    The wedding must have cost a fortune for the food alone. They had a wedding breakfast then a banquet, and later, roast boar. They also had a five tier cake (each tier a different sort of cake) all covered in chocolate and champagne of course.

    Good luck to them and everybody seemed to have a good time.

    Oh, I forgot, also had fireworks later in the evening.

  2. Thank you to you all for your lovely reports.

    Also thank you for the link to the photos.

    I think Andrew was one of the finalists in Joseph. Am I right and one of the girls was a finalist in the Sound of Music.

    I think it must be quite tough for them all trying to find good parts. It isn't an easy life but for those who are successful it must a great life. Hope Gareth is successful as he deserves to be.

  3. I think all musical theatre is risky, especially a newshow.

    Gone With the Wind didn't last very long. Darius was in that and he got good reviews but the show did not, so poor Darius. Hope he finds something else.

    It might be better if Gareth took on an established role. There are some great songs in Les Miserables that would suit Gareth's voice, but then I suppose it is not fair to others who are struggling to establish themselves in musical theatre.

    I do not know. Wonder if Gareth should go back to opera??????

  4. Thank you for allyour lovely reports. I was at DOI in Manchester this afternoon and I enjoyed it just as much as when I saw it at Sheffield the second night of the tour. In fact, I think it was better because all the skaters seem so much more polished and confident.

    Gareth and Maria were, of course, gorgeous. For their first skate they skated toA Beautiful Day and they scored 25.5 and received good reports from the judges. Even got a 5 from Jason! They wer equal fifth on the leader board with Zara. Chris Fountain scored the top marks of 30! He was also in the Bolero skate off with Kyran, Chris won. I think poor Linda and David must feel demoralised always in the bottom two!

    In th second performance Gareth and Maria were dressed in red and skated to Living on a Prayer and didn't put a foot wrong. They always seem so happy and smile more than the others and the audience seem to love them.

    They certainly work hard. They will have given five performances in three days. They won't know what to do with themselves after the show finishes next Saturday.

    Linda, Of course Gareth's family are lovely people. They come from Yorkshire no less!

    P.S. The only one to have a tumble was Zara but it was the second performance so didn't count in the voting.

    Please excuse the mistakes.

  5. Khelda I am so sorry that Gareth wasn't performing last night. How disappointing for you as I know you were looking forward to it so very much. One small consolation is that many, many other people also missed out.

    However, these things happen and we have no control over what is thrown at us. I do hope Gareth's nan will soon be well.

    So sorry, Khelda. I really feel for you.

  6. Of course he's a really nice guy. He is very patient with his fans - that's for sure.
    Going back to Bolero. After the text vote, they all stand in a line and then their names are called out in turn. The ones with the lowest vote going first and so on until they come to the last two. They then dance Bolero and the judges decide the winner.P.S. When I saw it at Sheffield, Gareth came either fourth or fifth which wasn't bad and Suzanne won.
  7. Thank you for your lovely report Yorksheather. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I thought you would and who wouldn't? It was lovely Gareth's family being there. Perhaps the children could be Gareth's parents foster children. What a gtreat for them all.

    They must differ the routine because I don't remember them all doing skating in their Bolero outfits. I think they all came out in their Bolero outfits and just stood there while the results were announced.

    Chris also got a much better reception than Suzanne when I was there too. However, Chris is also a Yorkshire lad and Frankie comes from Sheffield.

    Apparently people are complaining that we are a staid lot in Yorkshire with no waving banners etc. I expect things will warm up as the tour progresses.

    The last night of the tour is in Sheffield so that is bound to be a big party night I should think. Wish i was going.
