Strictly 2017 Celebs are being announced...

[CaveMum]

First one confirmed is Mollie King (the blonde one from The Saturday's)

Not sure when the next one will be announced, just hope it's not like last year where they dragged it out for weeks!

waves hello

VAIRY excited that it's back on soon. Looking forward to seeing which celebrity I am going to loathe irrationally this year :)

Richard Coles was the keyboard playing half of the Comunards.

He is now a C of E vicar in Dunedin Northants and hosts Saturday Live on Radio 4. He also has 4 dashounds.

Finedon not sure why the autocorrect changed that

Rev Richard lives with his civil partner Rev David ☺

Yes David is very cute

Technically there was about 20 of them in the Communards btw!

Mollie is def not theatre school ... went to Surbiton high and almost made it into Gb ski team. She just wanted to be Britney from a young age but her parents were militants about education and not showbiz. Her dsis are also stunning and city lawyer / bankers. Am a huge fan! She has class- nothing vulgar about her. To say am rooting for her - understatement. She seems so lovely and hard working! Needs some direction though in her career choices.

Richard Coles is the single, solitary, celebrity to have lived in my home town, I think! He's brilliant. Not sure he's much of a dancer though. 🕺😂

Yep burnt couldn't think of any other way of describing him!.

Suppose could have said the tall, geeky one

Thanks EastMids and everyone I Might have heard him on the radio. The Communards are a bit after my time

When are they announcing next contestant ?

There doesn't seem to be any pattern, some days they've announced one and others they've announced two.

Joe McFadden from casualty.

It seems to be between 8 and 10 in the morning.

I dont watch casualty is he a Scottish actor with dark hair ?

Joe McFadden 😍 I remember him from Take The High Road and The Crow Road am Scottish and old

The BBC are not very good at updating their own website then! There's nothing about the latest announcement on the Entertainment page.

Aah CaveMum you need the strictly Facebook page.

I know him from Heartbeat, clearly a busy man since we all know him from different things

So happy it's all on the go again. Strictly has faults but it hasn't sold out like DWTS silly gimmicks. Sorry to the pp but it would be ridiculous for Ellie Simmons to take part in this particular genre - for a start which male professional could she be paired with?

Brilliant thread, thanks, can't wait for it to begin, sad to hear Natalie has left, I wished she'd won it before she went, not sorry to hear Joanne is gone, I was never a fan, Oti should have won last year.

Catch you all in a couple of weeks

I'd love to see Prof Brian Cox on it

Yeah i remember joe Mcfadden from take the highroad i watched with my nan just to keep her company of course

Me too MrsJayy, he was Moira from emmerdales boyfriend I think, it was so long ago but I used to love it.

Yes he was her boyfriend its all coming flooding back i think Stv2 show it im sure i caught my dad watching it. Inverdarroch used to live round here he was a tornfaced git he was always getting thrown out of pubs in town apparently

Ooh frazzled, good shout! Can't wait for my glitter & sparkle fix. Good friend got tickets last year and got in, said it was amazing!
