About a month to go before it starts, and they've released the name of the first celeb.

Anita Rani. That's good, I like her.

ellenanora5 · 25/08/2015 22:01

Oh no, I can't stand Jamelia, what a pain she is, not sure what to make of the rest of them, where's the token popstar or have I mised that bit.

I'll have to look up Anita Rani Icimoi not sure who she is.

scarlets · 25/08/2015 22:35

Never heard of Rani

. Jamelia very irritating - she's been on a few panel shows and she's either rather stupid, or (worse) plays stupid.

Davros · 25/08/2015 23:40

I wouldn't count Katie Derhan as "older lady", she is quite glam 40ish

Mrsjayy · 26/08/2015 09:27

There is a guy from boyband the wanted (not a clue who he is) so there is your token popstar. Katie is my age I didnt think i was an older lady Shock

SheHasAWildHeart · 26/08/2015 09:37

Oh :( I love Strictly and now I won't be able to watch is cos of Jamelia and her fake pretending to be stupid, talking over people and acting like a child. Think she will do well cos she used to be in the music business and has a good/athletic figure. But she grates on me. Hopefully she won't have much of a following or get votes lol.

Anita Rani is from the One Show and lots of other BBC shows. And intelligent too.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 26/08/2015 14:08

SheHas just record it and fast-forward through Jamelia. That's what I used to do when Bruce was still presenting.

I always have to record it anyway as my DC simply don't understand the importance of being TOTALLY SILENT during the dancing bits.

SheHasAWildHeart · 26/08/2015 15:13

That's a good idea. I never watch it live anyway and usually fast forward the VTs and live performers they have. Have sometimes watched the whole show in ten minutes!

MrsJamin · 26/08/2015 15:32

I am a bit disappointed this year. I mean, Daniel O'Donnell?! Yuck.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 26/08/2015 17:20

I know what you mean MrsJamin. I think every year it gets just a little bit less celebrity and a little more desperate has-been. TBH some of the professional dancers are bigger celebrities than some of the 'celebrities'.

Howaboutthisone · 26/08/2015 18:43

Is that it then? Are there any sportswomen?

RozTheSchnoz · 26/08/2015 18:47

I'm feeling a bit 'meh' about the line-up too - thank goodness we have Pasha and Aljaz to look forward to!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 26/08/2015 19:04

Helen George (Trixie from Call the Midwife) just confirmed.

And apparently the last two tomorrow.

I've just seen that they are extending ITT on a Friday night and lovely Robin Windsor will be on it with Joanne Clifton who's now not dancing. I thought she was?

Howaboutthisone · 26/08/2015 19:43

I love ITT!

SheHasAWildHeart · 26/08/2015 21:18

First time I've been disappointed with the line up of Strictly :(
Love the pro-dancers though.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 26/08/2015 21:58

Sad I loved watching her do ballroom - there won't be as much of that this year.

OP posts:
MrsJamin · 27/08/2015 06:47

I thought Joanne was great, a pity she isn't dancing. Tbh I think they should have given christina the shove for again having a fling with the celebrity last year! So unprofessional of her. I like trixie and also anita. I wonder whether their budgets for paying celebrities has been cut this year as there are a lot of BBC employees on the line up.

Mrsjayy · 27/08/2015 07:26

Oh is Robin not back this year Sad i love Robin, wonder if the dancer that danced with pixie is back he reminded me of a ken doll kinda creepy looking i fast frwd them last year

SheHasAWildHeart · 27/08/2015 09:26

The guy who danced with Pixie isn't back this year.
I love Joanne and Robin :(

Mrsjayy · 27/08/2015 09:31

Oh good he really gave me the creeps. Gutted joanne and Robin are not there this year they have personality as well as being great dancers

ScarlettDarling · 27/08/2015 09:32

I'm not really bothered about the celebs, but is anyone else getting really excited about seeing Aliaz again?!

Mrsjayy · 27/08/2015 09:37

Maybe just a teeny bit Grin although last year I learned he is my dds age it felt a bit wrong not that wrong though

SheHasAWildHeart · 27/08/2015 12:02

Alijaz is amazing hope he has a fab partner. Looking forward to seeing Pasha and Tristan again.
