Strictly Come Dancing

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

Starts on Saturday!!
I can't find any contestant rumours other than Goldie, does anyone know of any?
Is Alesha back? can only find articles about her not signed contract yet.
No results show apparantly and new format for voting, can't wait - Winter is here.

[LIZS]

Isn't Felicity Kendal doing it ?

[vmcd28]

yes, I have read Felicity Kendal is in it.

Alesha is definitely back - she was interviewed on Newsround the other day, and said she's looking forward to it.

GOLDIE? Really?! He seems to be ONLY on these things now - ie is only a celebrity because of these shows. His son has just (yesterday, I think) been jailed for stabbing a disabled person to death, so I wonder if the BBC will change their minds about him...

Patsy Kensit and Ann Widdecombe are also rumoured. :)

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

oh Patsy Kensit is a good one as is Felicity Kendal, cant wait

[MrsMorgan]

Tina O'brian (Corrie's Sarah Lou) is one isn't she ?

[tefal]

THERE IS STILL A RESULTS THING BUT IT IS WITH CLAUDIA AND TESS

bollocks sorry for caps

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

contestants announced!

[CappuccinoCarrie]

The anne widdecome rumour is true then
And Paul Daniels?!
Maybe my dad'll watch this year since Felicity Kendall is on!

[MissWooWoo]

OMG !

[Oblomov]

anne w ? oh god no. surely not. why would she do this ?

who will win ? blokes probably gavin or matt baker, only because they are the two youngest males.
female. probably tina or kara. same reason. youngest female.

[CappuccinoCarrie]

Totally agree Oblomov a very accurate assessment. Hope AW isn't the new John Sargeant

But what about the pros? I don't like change, and a lot of my favourites have gone. What is strictly without Matthew Cutler?! Hope the newbies are nice!

[Oblomov]

they don't even listt eh profs dancers on the website. that can't be good.

they keep telling us that we don't want all the oldies. but we do. they are out of touch with reality. i don't even like lydia koplova and darren bennet. but they really should be there. so should cutler.
has brendan gone ?

[vmcd28]

Surely Michelle Williams has a bit of an unfair advantage, having done singing/dancing/touring for years?

[sharbie]

surely goldie will be dropped after news yesterday

watching patsy kensit will be fun

[sharbie]

wot vmc said earlier this thread - his son jailed yesterday for murder

[vmcd28]

just knowing what the BBC are like - they dont like to be involved in anything controversial... :)

[sharbie]

yeah and would/should he want to participate now anyway?

[LIZS]

Don't know any of the soap "stars" or singers !

[CappuccinoCarrie]

Brendan is still there There's a short video clip on the BBC website (not the strictly site) and they show the costume bit and there's one for Brendan!

[PortBlacksand]

Isn't Matt Baker a trained gymnast and ballet dancer?

Surely an advantage too...

[CappuccinoCarrie]

And Tina has "only done GCSE dance" so considers herself a beginner!

[vmcd28]

i'm actually annoyed that theyve announced them all - what exactly is the point of a special launch show on saturday, when we now know everyone taking part?
