Saw today that Todd McKenney was supporting Craig McLachlan’s Instagram post announcing he will be playing Colonel Mustard in Cluedo, a decision that’s been widely condemned by the theatre community.
Made me think back to when Christie Whelan-Browne performed a Samba which was heavily praised by the other judges, whilst Todd in quite a bitter and rude tone stated that that further connection with her partner was required, something that was not picked up by any of the other judges.
Craig, Sharna and Mark all scored Christie and her partner Craig 10/10. However to the shock of the other judges, Todd scored them 7/10
Now having this context of Todd being a public supporter of Craig, it’s worth considering whether that score was based on the dance, or a personal vendetta for the celebrity contestant.
