Patrick Hennessy over on the Daily Telegraph has a fantastic theory on why John Sergeant sensationally quit Strictly Come Dancing...
It's all down to Peter Mandelson of course - well, they do say he's the true master of spin.
Update: Ben Brogan of the Daily Mail brings us this glorious reaction from Lord Mandelson ...
John Sergeant should not bow out. He has become the People's John Travolta and he should be a fighter not a quitter.
Brogan insists the quote is genuine.
Meanwhile, over on the Sky News blog, Glen Oglaza reveals a conspiracy theory courtesy of Ukip.
In an internal memo, they talk of "dark forces at work" - blaming Alastair Campbell (really) of forcing the BBC to create a vacancy on the show for Lord Mandelson who "has already proved to be nimble on his feet as he hot-footed it from Hartlepool then Brussels and waltzed into the House of Lords".
They say he also "skipped away" from answering any awkward questions about his relationship with a certain Russian billionaire and, they point out, "not by chance Mr Sergeant's dancing partner is from the former USSR".
It ain't much as conspiracy theories, even humorous ones, go - but we thought we'd share it with you anyway.
It's worth linking through to the post just to see the picture ...
