Dr Pamela's Analysis

Pamela has been putting on her psychologist's hat, and says she is fascinated between the relationships between Strictly's celebrities and their dance partners.

The Daily Mail quotes an interview that Pamela gave to Radio 4's Women's Hour: "Most professional dancers are probably used to meeting someone one minute and locking loins with them the next minute, getting to know them in a very intimate way. It is mucky, murky stuff and professional dancers are used to bringing these emotions and laying it on the table. But for the rest of us, we are not used to that and it can be very confusing. I think about it a lot."

And she talks about her own celeb-pro relationship: "James and I have become embroiled in some sort of relationship.We had a fight last week and there have been power struggles but… we know underneath that there is a strong connection between us. But that’s all. I am not afraid of falling a bit in love with James. Could that really be that bad?"

Pamela, my dear. Many of us a 'a bit in love with James'. I'd say it's perfectly normal.

Seriously, though, I remember when I was in a youth drama group as a teenager, I'd develop massive crushes on other members of the cast. It's because you spend so much time together, and you start thinking about them in ways you wouldn't normally, often because of the character they are playing, but also because of the hours of rehearsals you spend with the same small group of people. Unfortunately for my hormones, none of my crushes developed into anything more, and when a show is over you go back into the normal routines of life and wonder what you were thinking. I have fond memories of those days. Maybe I should go back to a bit of drama...
