The 1p kiss has definitely been phased out to be replaced with the dance move. Can anyone remember when this 1p tradition started, when it was phased out and when the new tradition started? Also have there been any other 1p traditions?
I think it may have started on David's game (8th April 2007) when Noel promised Gaz (26th April 2007) a kiss if he produced the 1p (and he almost did, as he had 10p), certainly happened in James' game (26th September 2007) when he picked Lee (8th October 2007) and requested that if he had the 1p, he wanted a kiss from him. (even though he didn't have it in his box) I think the tradition officially started on Little Rich's game. (1st November 2007) However, Noel didn't actually confirm it as a compulsory tradition until sometime the following year.
It was phased out around May/June 2014 and replaced immediately with the "Penny Drop" dance which TBH, I found a lot more cringier than two blokes doing the 1p kiss. (not that I found anything wrong with that at all) Really don't know why Noel kept going on about that most of the time. And while we're on that subject, I'm sure the male/male 1p kiss was phased out before the actual tradition was, certainly two games from March 2014 when it happened the recipient of the respective 1p box (Anthony & Scott) and the player (Stevie & Anthony), while still standing at the front or just to the side of the board didn't kiss at all; just a big manly hug.
Not that I can remember, but I do vaguely recall J.T's game in April 2006 when he said something about 1p Fadil doing the Hokey Cokey at the hotel bar and he said that if he had the 1p, he would do it in front of everyone and that was exactly what happened! Which I thought was comedy gold!
