Win Christmas romance novellas & see Ben Cohen’s very last Strictly dance

It was a sad night, friends. Ben Cohen was knocked out of Strictly Come Dancing. 🙁

Honest to God, I’m gobsmacked. I’m no dancer, but I thought his Charleston was great. It was definitely the most fun dance of the night.

So here it is…his last dance on Strictly. Pat L, this is particularly for you. A moment of silence, please, to appreciate the beauty, wonder and huge personality that is Ben Cohen.

My seven-month-old baby and I have been doing our own interpretation of Ben and Kristina’s dances every Monday. (I play Ben. When Doodle Bug played Ben during our American Smooth routine, she dropped me.) I’m sad there won’t be any new dances for us to do together. She laughs hysterically when I do bicep curls with her.

Ben, I said weeks ago that I hoped you did really well on Strictly but, more than that, I hoped StandUp Foundation did well at making the world a kinder, gentler place. Obviously that fight is nowhere near over, but you’ve done an incredible job at inspiring people and introducing your work to millions of new fans. I really hope you’re proud of what you’ve achieved. You should be.

I stand up with Ben CohenAs both a charity communications specialist and a romance novelist, I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about people who show heroic qualities – people who are faced with unthinkable tragedy yet turn their own loss into action so that no one else has to face what they have. I don’t work for the StandUp Foundation (thought I’d love to volunteer, if they needed me), but I’m really impressed and inspired by their work, so I hope you’ll take a moment to check them out on Facebook, Twitter and on their website.

Okay, moving on…all is not lost because I’m still giving away Ben’s calendar, which benefits his foundation. Here’s the post you need to comment on. I’ll announce the winner on Thursday. Good luck!

  1. You’re totally right. Ben’s dance was amazing. Lots of personality, fun and some really cool moves. Thanks for including it on your post.

  2. Ooh, no – I am so sad to hear this. In the US version, it winds up being a popularity contest and I guess not enuf people voted for him on Strictly. Wish I could have. Thanks for sharing Ben’s wonderful story and his dancing. Now to watch his last dancing video. If You havent announced the calendar winners, I still have hope to have some Ben in my life. LOL.

    Thanks for giving me 15 mins of fame

  3. While not his best dance from what you have shown, it def was entertaining. I will miss seeing him. Keep us posted if you hear/see anything on him. Thanks fo sharing “Ben”.
