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.

How many more to be announced?
So used to seeing Kate sitting behind a desk that it was disconcerting to see her whole body!

Newspaper headline this morning said Susannah Constantine had signed up.

i think 4 to be announced, not sure on male/female split though, its usually uneven split but cant recall which way

That revolting man that does the showbiz on Lorraine kelly show has singled out stacey Dooleyon twitter asking who she is but being all sneery. about it. She replied I think you will find it is Stacey Dooley MBE he is a total arsehole though

I have a lot of time for Stacey Dooley her journalism has been great

Metro says that someone "might just be" announced on Loose Women today, so could be one of the panellists or a guest.

But then it also says the red carpet launch is on Monday, which is wrong, so they may be talking rubbish...

I hope it isn't Nadya the most irritating tv presenter on the planet Swahalia I am not a fan 😁

On Friday on LW they said it was going to be announced but it wasn't any if hem so it won't be Nadia as she was on the panel.

*of them

Just confirmed that the person is going to be on loose women today

Lee Ryan hasn't been announced yet so either he isn't doing it - hooray

or he is being announced at lunchtime - booo

Looks like Lee..?

NO, no, no! It is Kee Eysn. I can’t stsnd him! He’s so smug and irritating! He also says daft things that make him look thick!

Is it Lee

Whoops, Lee Ryan. Can’t stsnd him!

WHO ?

Yes, Mrs Jay. Sorry for typos!

Christ, rather NAdia than slimy Lee Ryan. Still awaiting some diversity and bigger names. Whilst Dan whatsit on Lorraine was out of order to single out Stacey Dooley I kind of get where he’s coming from in terms of calibre of this years celebs and that majority are quite niche in terms of who would know them.

Oh dear, it is Lee Ryan.

I love Stacey Dooley.

So do I but my 74 mum won’t have a clue who she is and she’s a pretty typical Strictky viewer too. Same for Heart dj, vlogger, cricketer, obscure comedian etc

Not interested in anyone this year. Surprised there are no big names and some I don’t know at all.

Hopefully there will be a big or unusual name as last to be announced!

Also not keen on Lee Ryan, I was hoping those rumours were false

The calibre of the celebs doesn't really bother me, I'd watch it whoever was on. I've had favourites in previous series who I'd never heard of but loved them on the show. Ore Oduba probably got that kind of reaction when he was announced but he was great in both dancing and likeability terms.

Perhaps calibre is the wrong word. Maybe celebs with more universal appeal.
