Rose is obviously quite prominent in the book & does the foreword so there is a great friendship between Rose & Dan obviously. He really admires her & looks up to her.

I enjoyed hearing about how strictly works and I was very surprised at Gio's words (in a good way). So nice to see that side of him. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who seemingly hasn’t read it - I just wanted to discuss it with people who had and their thoughts on it! The later chapters on forgiveness are an excellent opportunity for Dan to open up about his own faith and share how the root of Christianity is the need for forgiveness for sins. A great opportunity. The new audiobook from the author of the bestselling Remarkable People contains a totally fresh batch of humble heroes whose actions, bravery and determination have helped shape their communities.Reys Got the book on my kindle. Only read the Rose chapter so far but really enjoyed it. She has a lovely relationship with her Mum. The new audiobook from the author of the best-selling Remarkable People contains a totally fresh batch of humble heroes whose actions, bravery and determination have helped shape their communities. Dan has presented shows on BBC Radio 5 Live and presented Sportsday on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News, as well as regularly reporting for Final Score and Match of the Day. Headline has acquired two new books by broadcaster and journalist Dan Walker, star of the 2021 series of “Strictly Come Dancing”, following the success of Remarkable People: Extraordinary Stories of Everyday Lives (Headline) which published in 2020 and sold 50,000 copies across all formats .

Dan has gone and done it again, thoroughly recommended! He admits himself the themes in this book are very similar to his first. You don't have to have read Remarkable People to enjoy this book but if you have you will find updates on a good number of the folks mentioned. Not only a great insight into her relationship with her mum and what a (obvious!) supporter she is of her daughter but also a really good insight into the Rose & Gio relationship. It really made me appreciate Rose even more given what a strenuous few opening weeks she had (she quite rightly never let on) and how much Gio pushed her to be the version of herself only he could see at the time. I also have to congratulate Gio for all the thought he put into the CC routine & never accepting the ‘cheats’ route of how he gets out of that silent moment also not hearing the music alongside Rose. Was just wondering if anyone has read Dans new book as obviously Nadiya is featured in her own chapter & the same goes for Rose & Gio too…RSPCA Preston: Dog found dumped and emaciated among the animals looking for a home in time for Christmas History can be cruel and forgetful to those who don’t shout about their own success or good deeds, but Standing on the Shoulders is a beautifully-written and illuminating celebration of ordinary people and the extraordinary things they do. It is also a timely reminder of the goodness and positivity that drives us forward during challenging times. Nadiya's early life and how she made it as a ballroom champion, her inspiration (Slavik Krykliyvyy) how vital her Mum Larisa's support has been
