‘Putting on a brave face…’: Strictly’s George Clarke spotted with his stunning model girlfriend for the first time after bruising night on the dancefloor — as fans insist he’s being ‘set up to fail’ following another low score and harsh criticism from the judges… - suong
GEORGE Clarke was spotted with his stunning model girlfriend for the first time after a disappointing performance on Saturday.
The YouTuber, 25, confirmed his relationship with lingerie model Yasmin Bennett shortly after signing up for the show to avoid any talk about a potential romance with pro partner Alexis Warr.
Over the weekend, the social media star faced another night of criticism and modest scores on the dancefloor.
Last week, he fell to the bottom of the leaderboard last week after failing to impress the judging panel.
And this week seemed somewhat of a deja vu, as the pair received a score of only two points higher than their previous result of 29.
Putting on a brave face, George was spotted enjoying an autumn stroll with Yasmin in north London.
She wore a long beige trench coat over a light pink sweater and white cargo pants, paired with black shoes.
Content creator George kept it casual in a dark cardigan, white T-shirt, and loose blue jeans.
The pair were seen chatting and smiling as they strolled with a group of friends, before they stopped to look at something on Yasmin’s phone.
DANCE DISASTER
On Saturday, the judges had good things to say about their dance tonight, encouraging George to believe in himself more.
But there was also plenty of criticism, as Craig Revel Horwood noted how “turned in” George’s feet where throughout the entire performance.
Fans of the show are beginning to feel George is being somewhat set up to fail, receiving harsher criticism than others on the show and receiving overall lower scores, despite any positive feedback.
Some fans weren’t happy with the song choice nor the choreography of George’s Cha Cha Cha to Apple by Charli XCX, accusing his dance partner of stealing the spotlight.
Many took to X to share their fury on the choreo, and how it didn’t even give George a chance to shine.
“That dance was all about Alexis. Not so much about George,” said one user.
Others echoed the same sentiment, sharing: “I feel like george is kinda being set up tho with the choreography and the song choice…” and “he barely danced, his partner was doing most of the work!”.
After George’s dance last week, viewers picked up on how much criticism he was receiving from the panel – taking to X to share their frustrations about that as well.
“Why did the judges pick up on every single one of george’s mistakes that the public barely noticed, but then haven’t mentioned vicky and kai’s visible mistake one time ???? this show is angering me tonight,” said an angry fan.
Many other viewers simply said George was being underscored for yet another week.
“Here’s george being underscored AGAIN,” said one user.
George was the sixth celebrity announced as a part of the Strictly line up this year.
The YouTube and TikTok star has been growing in popularity online since first creating a TikTok account in 2019, where he posts hilarious comedy videos.
Speaking on his decision to join Strictly this year, George expressed shock and excitement.
“Never thought I’d say this but I’m doing Strictly!
“Honestly, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing but I’m excited to get stuck in and potentially fall over a fair bit.”
STRICTLY WAG
So far it seems Yasmin is loving being a Strictly Wag.
George told The Sun: “She’s fully behind it. She has not yet got the ’ick! Well, I hope she hasn’t!
“I’m loving the spray tans, I live for two or three days a week looking unbelievably tanned and people are complimenting me, saying I look so healthy.
“Yas says she actively prefers me with a tan. So now I’m thinking, ‘S**t! I’ve got to keep up with this man I’m pretending to be for a few months’.
“She’s the most supportive girlfriend I could ever ask for. She’s amazing. I think she believed in me more than I did.
“I send videos of how training’s been going and she’s yet to say I’m bad. Maybe she’s just a good liar?”
Shortly before Strictly’s launch, George hit back at the Strictly curse as he revealed the ‘real reason’ he went public with girlfriend.
The star has now broken his silence over the timing, saying that he wanted ‘full control’ of the narrative.
Speaking on the Useless Hotline Podcast, he admitted: “That’s part of the reason why we wanted to say something.
“Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out.”
However, the star rubbished the infamous ‘Strictly Curse’, as he claimed that it would not affect him.
George said: “Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private.”
‘You can’t rush something like that…’: MAFS UK groom’s mum left horrified as bride Leisha gushes about having three kids during their first meeting — leaving Reiss speechless and viewers cringing over the painfully awkward exchange… - suong
MAFS UK groom Reiss’ mum warned his wife Leisha to ‘slow down’ as she spoke about plans for three kids during her first meeting with her.
E4 viewers saw Reiss Boyce marry Leisha Lightbody arrive as latecomers before tying the knot and attempt to navigate their new life as husband and wife.
The couple, who’ve had a rocky relationship so far, seemed to be going from strength to strength during homestays week recently.
But while meeting Reiss’ mum, Leisha appeared to be a few steps ahead of her husband – an ongoing theme for the couple during the series so far.
The three of them met for drinks and it seemed warm and friendly to begin with, but Reiss’ mum was soon to express her fears as talk turned to children.
“We’ve been getting on like a house on fire,” Reiss told his mum, who seemed pleased with their relationship status.
Leisha confirmed what Reiss had said, and then proudly added: “We’ve got
Reiss and his mum appeared visibly shocked, as Reiss told the camera separately: “I was not expecting Leisha to bring up children.”
Reiss’ mum questioned: “So you’re talking about having children already? I think you’ve got to leave it a while.”
She went on to warn Leisha: “You can’t rush anything as serious as having children.”
But brushing her advice to one side, Leisha said back: “Well I need to pop three out so…”
Reiss’ mum was left with her head in her hands after the awkward conversation.
“No you don’t, for goodness sake,” she said, as she looked down at the table in disbelief.
Leisha told the camera: “Darling, I’m 32 this year. I’ll be popping those sprogs out in a year.”
Clearly seeing the funny side, Leisha has since commented beneath the clip shared on the official MAFS Instagram, writing: “Do yous want to know the baby names now that’s the question.”
The children’s chatter continued as the couple headed to Edinburgh for Leisha’s leg of the Homestays, during which she picked out kids’ outfits from a shop and asked Reiss which he preferred.
Keen to put the subject matter to one side, Reiss warned his persistent wife that they should park that conversation for the time being.
Reiss previously had a brush with fame after dating TOWIE star Dani Imbert on and off since Summer 2023 after her fling with co-star Roman Hackett.
The pair were smitten with each other before abruptly calling things off.
Earlier this month, Dani appeared to hint that she was still seeing Reiss up until a few weeks ago.
Dani took to her Instagram Story and shared a screenshot someone wrote, which read: “I saw him with that bird from Towie last month.”
Alongside the post, Dani added the side eyes emoji, hinting there was some truth to it.
She later appeared to take a savage dig at him while suggesting his relationship with Leisha didn’t last once cameras stopped rolling.
Taking to her TikTok, she wrote: “When your ex gets a new gf so I crack one more time just to remind myself that he is indeed still easy & accessible and that’s exactly why I left.”
Reiss and Leisha got off to a bad start at their wedding reception when Leisha pummelled Reiss with questions about his life.
Things went from bad to worse on the way back from the honeymoon, when Leisha threw up on herself after drinking and chatted to another man at the back of a plane for what Reiss says was “an hour.”
This week, they admitted to a problem they were having in the bedroom department.
In an awkward exchange they revealed how Leisha would prefer more spontaneous sex, while Reiss wanted a rumble under the sheets when the lights are out and then off to bed,
Asked what could help improve their sex life, turning to Reiss, Leisha said: “Obviously, you need to open up a lot more.”
Talking to the experts, the bride added: “He needs to be a little bit more vulnerable, cuddling, kissing.”
Reiss then told the experts: “One of the things was, I’m not spontaneous enough, in the bedroom. Okay. We’ve got routines.”
Asked by Paul what these “routines are”, the groom replied: “We get to it, like, say, in the evening, whereas I think Leisha wants it a little bit more, I don’t know, lunchtime, lunchtime, morning, like, anytime you get some, you know.”
