Same-Sex Pair On Strictly Come Dancing

Israel has broken the Strictly Come Dancing mould with the first same sex couple in its version of the show.

It's a shame we didn't do it first. It would've been great to see Ann Widdecomb teamed up with a butch lesbian. Well, anyone other than Antoine du Beke would be an improvement.

Lesbian sports presenter Gili Shem Tov says it is right she should perform in Israel's Dancing With The Stars with a woman.

It's right and it is progressive but it's on a show that judges people for doing old style dancing.

Gili has teamed up with heterosexual professional dancer Dorit Milman to form the first woman-woman pair on the show since Britain invented the format six years ago.

Maybe it's something that other TV shows should learn from. Instead of All Star Mr & Mrs there should be All Star Mrs & Mrs. Instead of the sitcom Men Behaving Badly there should be Women Behaving Badly.

But it swings both ways. Instead of X Factor... XY Factor. Come on ladies, it's only fair.
