I know it's old hat(!!!) I loved this series(SC3) and I loved Matthew and Brendan and Anton but I didn't feel for any of them the way I did for Aled. When I read the Bill threads I undersatnd and sympathise. I used to get up at 7 to listen to and record Classic FM on Sundays!!!I watched Songs of Praise, rugby games where he was singing the Welsh national anthem and even programmes in Welsh on SC4. You try working out when he's on from the SC4 Sky programme!I bought the Classic FM mag and the rest. I didn't come on here then so was all alone!!I still remember how he looked for the paso!!!
Was anyone else similarly hooked?

I really like Aled too, though not in a passionate way. Just found him great fun and loved to see him improve each week.
Will leave this thread now to all the true Aled people ....
Aled & Lilia were the cutest, I can remember so many fab quotes! They should have won!!! lol!
I quite enjoyed the original giggle twins' antics, including Lilia teasing him about "wobble, jobble". Not sure about her dominatrix tendencies with the whip though! :eek: They seemed to have a good laugh together. The bit where they sprayed the fake tan onto him was very peculiar television, but I'm sure the women enjoyed it for purely aesthetic reasons of course.
Another reason why I liked Aled was the manifestation of his multiple identities, including:
Aledino Jones (Pronounced ho-nez) - Glad he did not wear the curly long-haired wig while he danced Latin
"Foxy" - The slinky womanizing foxtrotter
Aled Du Join - A homage to Anton Du Beke's Ballroom prowess?
I think it's a good approach to feeling and performing the dances, while capturing the mood of each one. I particularly enjoyed his Jive to Crazy Little Thing Called Love and his Paso was memorable as he skidded on his knees - good choice of dramatic music as well. I looked upon him as being representative of the blokes although he was a notch below Denise and Jill in terms of dance ability. It was disappointing not to see him in the final, but as SCD three has had a burst of superb male celebrities I have been able to get over it.
i thought they were great together
I did like Lilia's Jive with Darren. Her choereography is spot on. She can make simple steps so entertaining.
Gosh!! I thought it was only me, even Songs of Praise took on a new light.
I had never had a reaction like that before to a TV programme, and now, though I always watch Aled wherever possible I find myself taking on a similar compulsion for Darren Gough. What does SCD do to get under our skins so????
I even recorded a programme that was on for 3 hours, on the radio, so I could hear 2 minutes! And he was on Classic FM on New Year's day so set alarm!
Re Songs of Praise-learnt a few hymns!!
Didn't you love that accent!
St valentines's day brings it all back - I sent him one, how embarrassing!!!
lol what an admission but you mite as well declare your love loud and proud!!!!
Ah how fickel love can be? Poor Aled i'm sure you declared your un-dying love for him and then a week later nothing.
