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!

Tim lovejoy seemed a bit jealous on Sunday brunch this morning.

I'm wondering which of the BBC breakfast team will be on it, my money is on steph.

Louise Redknapp has never presented on Sunday Brunch. She co presented when it was Something for the Weekend years ago, but she was dire.
She didn't join them when it moved channels to C4 and changed names.

I really like Simon Rimmer and was almost too excited when he was announced for Strictly

I love Tim Lovejoy

Why do people think he's a twat he's great fun.

Then again I don't mind Eamonn Holmes or Piers Morgan.

I'm easily pleased

Ah classy some might say not fussy!!

Yeah, that too

I have actually heard of all the celebs so far...for the first time in years. I'm also delighted it's Simon Rimmer not Tim Lovejoy too 👌🏼

Beyond thrilled with Simon Rimmer - just hope he's not first boot.

That's kind Sparkling I realise I DO know him now, he's sweet, let's hope he hasn't got 2 left feet!

I try not to watch telly till the evening (unless I'm tired or feeling ill) which would be why I haven't seen a lot of him.

I am loving this year's lineup - for a change I know every single one of them so far. Hoping Richard Coles will be fun x

My fave so far is Rich Coles by a mile.

As usual I haven't heard of several of these people (not a soap watcher bar Casualty) but I love Rev Richard. his book was a real revelation to me...how he started in pop (blagged his way through the keyboard skills) and ended up as a Rev. Fascinating. I'll be rooting for him.

But I shall miss Natalie and can't see the attraction of Oti. For some reason she rubs me up the wrong way.

Next contestant will be announced on Scott Mills Radio 1 show this afternoon. It's on now and finishes at 4pm

Brilliant, off into the kitchen to do the ironing with the radio on then! Sports person I think, female.

Just confirmed Aston Merrygold formerly of boyband JLS.

The judge on Got to dance!
I'm guessing he'll be decent then and am looking forward to a Michael Jackson number
I was wondering why him and not JB Gill who won the Xmas special but googling tells me he did an ITV dance show I missed.

Aston used to do the Jls backflips so he will be mainly backflipping 😀

The itv dance show recreated famous dances it was so bad it was good they were on it with Rl partners and friends

^ ooh maybe I can YouTube it. Was it as bad as the one with Dempsey + Makepeace having domestics and Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen and his missus?!

Backflips? So Matt Baker/Louis Smith mark three then?

Oh yeah he went to gymnastics with louis smith apparently i know far to much about Jls clearly

So Mollie could have won The Jump and Aston could have won Tumble.
I am looking forward to seeing both actually. Performing background/girl-boyband moves are going to help obviously but don't mean you can do ballroom.

I'm dancing mad & actually enjoyed a lot of the routines in that ITV show - if it's the one I'm thinking of? Don't know his real name, but the chap who played Paul Coker in EE and his RL partner were brilliant. In fact, did they win it? Memory like a sieve!

So Aston is the ringer then, his singing career is flagging so needs to be on the show. I'm already hoping he goes early!
