Strictly Come Dancing 2012 - who's getting excited?

[CeliaFate]

Just read that Katya Virshilas isn't returning to the show, a new dancer Karen Hauer is taking her place.

Who will be in this year's line up?

Oooh is it DVO next? Where's her dishy husband?

Rumour has it DVO and Tess don't like each other.

@MaryZed

dh and ds2 have come home.

I am outnumbered. We are watching rugby

I will be watching on catchup too EmZed

DH just told me that Denise and Tess are said to loathe each other.

This makes me happy.

Surely they must have done a dry run and ironed out any annoying yahs tics?
Let's hope it's nerves and she relaxes out of it.

She has some serious eye bags for 38.

If Denise went to theatre school then she would have had dance lessons.

x-post Sparkling. I'm looking forward to the post-dance interview.

Holly - lighten up! Geddit?

I have just popped on to this thread to see if Sparkling had mentioned Lee Mead yet....

She was also in Chicago in the West End and when I saw it there was lots of dancing. Maybe they took that bit out when she did it

Mmmm this looks quite good.

Raahh I may have done.

She is a trained dancer. Why is she in this?

thought you might!

Tell it how it is, Len.

DvO shouldn't be in it. She is a star of the west end stage. Snot fair

I'm so pleased that Colin was as good as I'd hoped. I thought he lived up to a really ballsy song choice. But if they don't stop with the Bond crap soon I'm going to throw a brick through my telly.

I've been saying Victoria was going to be rubbish since she was picked - my spidey senses can tell - so I feel vindicated yet really sad for her.

Darcey is awful. I hope to god that she improves, I am actually missing Alesha

She's not a ballroom dancer though

Hmmm, is there really a blossoming romance....

Was that a withering look to Tess from DVO?

A dancer is a dancer.

I'm looking forward to seeing Louis tomorrow, and Sid Owen. He seems very charming in the training video.

Colin was the best.

After seeing the naked pics of Louis Smith in GQ magazine I cannot wait to see him dance.
