General Chat

I "know" nine of them.
Had heard of another two - Anastasia and Daisy Lowe but couldn't put a face to the name.
Had not heard of three - the soap actors. and the DJ.

Not sure of one - Laura W the presenter (only saw part of the Introduction show and can't recall which one was her) Will have to watch again to see if she is familiar or not.

So this year I "know". more of the Celebs. than usual!

Will try to watch it live, but will record it too as on rather late.

Why the heck isn't it on before. " Would I lie to you?".

Another reminder.

First show tonight at 9pm.

Keeeeeeeep Dancing!

<3 <3

Just a quick reminder to all the Strictly Supporters.

The first show will be on Friday night, with half the competitors dancing. The second half of the show will be at the regular spot on Saturday night.

Begin the countdown now!!

#fluffing up my feather boa as we speak!#

:-D :-D :-D

I still can't get my head around Kevin and Karen (Hauer) Clifton.

A very mis-matched couple...( my opinion)

Looking forward to see if Lesley and Anton are out first.

Edit:
Forgot to mention the biggest shock. of all..... Judge Rinder's 6 pack !
I nearly fainted. Who knew?

Go on MG Name & shame we all do Which will irritate you?

The over enthusiastic one from Eastenders may eventually get on my nerves, but seems very bubbly. I like Lesley Joseph & hope she does stick in there with Anton again.

i so love Will young & want him to do well & I warmed to the BBS sports guy from this morning & always like Naga.

Judge Rinder always gets on my nerves and that tall girl in the red dress who I think is a model (seems as thick as 2 planks ) she may be nice but no personality yet. That small DJ may get on my nerves - not sure yet same as the Gymnast.

The one from Hollyoaks should always have a mirror about his person - he may be better - think he was nervous same as the Longjumper - thought he was going to run away.

lets see what the first show brings.

Emma I think she will need to get away from being 'in character' I would hope she is not normally like her charcter who is extremely irritating.

Her from Eastenders is getting on my nerves already.

Glad old Snakehips Brendan is still there. I wonder if he will bite his tongue this series?

Still not quite sure who the DJ is. Maybe he does not play my kind of music.

I will have to 'get down wiv the kids'

:-D :-D :-D

I usually avoid it but - Will Young <3

I knew that Anton would get Lesley. So he will be one of the first to go. At least Ed Balls put a bit of effort into the group dance. Even if it was Dad Dancing.

Aaaah, little A.J. he looks about 12 years old!

See that Kevin Clifton was his usual reserved, unassuming self.

There are two people on there who are really going to irritate me. No names mentioned, but I shall be pleased when both of them are gone. Although both of them have a big fan base!

Still three weeks until the show starts proper.

Yes Bob, it could well be a circus, cos there are a few clowns in there.

But the for the rest of us, it is a glitterama of fun!

:-) :-) :-) :-)

All I want to say is my money is on Nagga ;-)

just knew Anton would get Lesley - first three to go out will be - or should be - Ed Balls, Lesley Joseph and Judge Rinder :-D :-D

saw the startup of the new series of Strictly Sickly............
what on earth is the screaming and leaping around for, its a dancing show not a blinky circus..............(or is it just that)

Bob

I ain't wearing tulle Maddie it's soo common ;-)

I pity the fella that gets Lesley Joseph :-(

'tuts' Emma, dontcha know that tulle should NEVER be kept in mothballs! :-D

Just wrapped lightly in tissue paper. I suggest you steam your skirts, but not too much for fear of going limp!!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I do believe the first show begins tonight at about 6.45, when the 'celebs' will be paired with the professional dancers.

I pity the poor girl who gets Ed Balls. I think he will be the Jeremy Vine of this year.



:-( :-( :-(

Two weeks for the smell of mothballs to disappear :-D

love it - six I've never heard of

The launch show is this weekend, then I think there will be a couple of weeks until the series begins in earnest.

Like Tabitha, some I know.................some I haven't a clue!!!!

:-( :-( :-(

Thanks for the list - getting less & less people on it i know.

Out of the list of 15

4 i can actually name & recognise

3 i know the name but haven't a clue what they look like

8 i have no idea who they are or heard of them - except on your list on here

So much for Dancing with the Stars - at least in previous years you knew who to look out for

Will still watch it & wait for OH to do the judging bit as he pretends he hates it

News this morning that Anastasia will be giving her fee to a Breast Cancer charity.

Good On Yer Girl!
