Is there a Strictly 2018 thread yet?

[xsquared]

Lots of rumours of who is going to be on but none confirmed as far as I know.

I've seen so many Rumours I just want to know now!!

Well I hope the rumour that Cheryl (whatever her surname is when Strictly starts) is taking part is not true

I hope the one that Dr Ranj is doing it is true!!!

Kate Silverton is this year's bbc newsreader participant.

Kate Silverton is this year's bbc newsreader participant.

Boo hiss. Nothing against Kate Silverton but I wanted Steph McGovern actually I want her to be a presenter but I'll settle for her as a contestant in the meantime.

Oh I love Steph!! She rocks.

Neil's finally made it!! All those years in the "chorus" and he's finally hit the big time-am so pleased for him.

Neil's in? He totally deserves it.

Anyone know when this is shown? The meeting of the dance partners?

Just placemarking

It feels like that time of year again!

a glitter ball?! Woohoo! It started on my birthday last year, best birthday ever. Can't wait!

Cheryl is on Simon Cowells new BBC dance show do I think that's where the rumour cane from

Swishes across the floor.
Can I join in ?

I am really hoping for Dan Walker from the BBC news team!

Formal announcements begin on Monday! So looking forward to it . I think Chris off Eat Well for Less will be on it. Ranvir Singh? Chelsea Halfpenny?

Exciting times!

Yes, I'd heard Dan Walker as well. He's a Sabbatarian so they'll have to stop pretending the Sunday results show is live!

id love Chris Hoy to do it but doubt he would, i hope quite a few of the rumours are true, yet part of what i love about the show is getting to know contestants, previous years favourites are celebrities ive never heard of before but personalities shine through

I'd like to see Dr Ranj and Kate Silverton.

They don't pretend the Sunday show is live though IMO.

Ok, but on the Saturday night show they do refer to "tomorrow night" for the results, but hey ho. I agree it doesn't matter about the celebrities because you get to know them. Great bunch last year, imho.

Off to google Sabbatarian... oh and place marking

Placemarking for the celeb reveals

Oh hooray I've been looking for a thread! Chris Evans has already talked to.... oh you know the older male pro. with the twins! He's on a tour at the moment.

CE often has quite a few strictly people on his morning radio show, esp.when it's near to starting.

Could Sam from Casualty be in? They tend to like a Holby/Casualty rep and she presumably has a bit of time on her hands having (presumably) just been killed off.
