Rob Wade, the show’s executive producer had this to say about the controversial Locthe’s union with the series:
We’d been talking about Ryan for some years. His name often comes up — but, in the past, he either couldn’t do it or it just didn’t work out. We were obviously very keen to sign Olympians this season. We wanted a man and a woman, and we had already Laurie.
Exciting times!
Bring on the 12th.
