Strictly Come Dancing 2016 - Glitterballs ready?

[SheHasAWildHeart]

First 'celebrity' confirmed:
Ed Balls

[CotswoldStrife]

I have just seen about Danny Mac being confirmed - I don't know him but he's been in West End musicals so should be good.

That's three already that I don't know

[Freshprincess]

Another one I've never heard of, quick look through his Instagram and I approve .

[Pandakitchen]

Nope never heard of Danny Mac either.

So far not that exited about any of the contestants. Saying that - thought the same last year then bloody loved every second.

[Areyourevising]

I have won tickets in the BBC ballot for the Strictly red carpet event on 30th August, I am very excited to say the least!

[Freshprincess]

Oh you lucky thing! Please come back and give us a minute by minute account.

[Runny]

Will Young winning Pop Idol is still one of my all time favourite television moments. It was a triumph of talent over over hyped looks and a mediocre voice. I can't belive anyone who was over the age of 12 at the time would have seriously prefered Gareth, but hey each to their own....

Greg Rutherford? Would he do it! Please let him do it!!!!

[Clawdy]

Haha, all our family preferred Gareth, we all thought Will was a posh toff and we were wildly rooting for Gaz. Even now we hate seeing repeats of the moment he won!

[ppeatfruit]

I'm with team Runny Will Young certainly is talented and has maintained his career. It was the first and last Xfactor I watched .

[emotionsecho]

Just signing in ready for the off!

[CaveMum]

Next celeb confirmed: model Daisy Lowe

[mouldycheesefan]

Ppeatfruit
Will Young was never on X factor. He was on pop idol.

[ppeatfruit]

Oh thanks mouldyycheese I knew it was ONE of those programmes , it was the first one though right?

[raisedbyguineapigs]

Will is still the only person Ive voted for on an ITV reality show! I have heard of Daisy Lowe, and I quite like her, even though all she seems to do is walk her dog in front of the paps to get into the SboS

[MrsJayy]

Oh Will is the only person I have ever voted too was so happy he won

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Hi, just catching up with the thread. For anyone missing Gleb he's going to be on Dancing with the Stars in the U.S. m.facebook.com/danwootton/posts/526535590874402

[ppeatfruit]

I would rather poke my eyes out than 'miss' Gleb SheHasA Anita was robbed of the glitter ball by Mr. "Watch me everyone IAM THE BEST" Slave driver Gleb.

Sorry for the rant can you tell I didn't like him ?

[ElspethFlashman]

Oh hush, you know you were as transfixed by his insanity as we all were.

[Runny]

I can see why people don't like him, but he so just so pretty to look at. He is just ridiculously beautiful .

Sorry for sounding like such a shallow bitch....

But he was on DWTS before Strictly, and DWTS Russia, and DWTS Australia. He doesn't seem to stay anywhere very long.

[CotswoldStrife]

Woo hoo revising, we want photos of the event! Well done!

I've kinda heard of Daisy Lowe, but only from the sidebar of shame I think!

[onlywhenyouleave]

Oh my, if Greg Rutherford was to do it, I would literally explode with happiness

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

So posting a gif of a really excited woman with the tweet: when you know you're so close to sharing some exciting news.
Could she be any more obvious?!
Not naming til confirmed as no spoilers but those who want to know tomorrow's sleb follow Monkseal's twitter (Chris Rubery)

[ppeatfruit]

R2 Chis Evans. show usually has the full list maybe tomorrow??

Runny I'm not on your team about Gleb, IMO he looks too self satisfied to be beautiful, give me Harry from One Direction any day.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Is Louise Redknapp the most "dancer" celebrity SCD has ever had? This from Monkseal:
"Louise went to Italia Conti, along with other talent-reality ringers Pixie Lott, Natalie Gumede, Steph Fearon, Bonnie Langford, Kelly Brook, Sam Attwater, Zaraah Abrahams, and Derek Hough.
Louise was a judge on two series of the UK version of So You Think You Can Dance, during which time she was asked to judge ballroom dancing routines."
I'm not really that bothered because so far this year there doesn't seem to be any out and out celebrities put in just for the comedy element. As much as I love Scott Mills I went off him after watching his antics on SCD.

[ThursdayLastWeek]

THANK GOD I remembered to find you, my people!

Naga Munchetty announced tomorrow, she slways seems very likeable.
I think Ore is fit fit fit, but could be dull as someone upthread said.
So far, so no one I actively dislike

[CaveMum]

Chris Evans is announcing another one live on his show tomorrow.
