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 reckon Charlotte Salt and her husband could be possibilities- have they had a husband and wife celeb couple before?

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

Agree, but presumably there will only be one BBC news presenter and it does seem like it's Kate Silverton this year - I just googled and several articles came up.

Oh and please can Dylan have the Casualty spot?

Celebrity couples - the Logans were on together.

I was thinking Charlotte Salt too.

My ideal line up would be:

Chris Evans
Martine McCutcheon
Mark Curry
Charlotte Church
Sean Maguire
Val McDermid
Robson Greene
Beth Tweddle
Steph McGovern
Jason Orange

First contestants being announced on BBC Breakfast and the One Show tomorrow

dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah DAH!

BBC breakfast at 8:10

That was the best moment last year @MozzieMagnet! Saw her live on tour this year with Ian waite, it was fab. Going to watch BBC breakfast this morning!

Blatant placemarking.

Have they said who yet? (I don't have access to bbc breakfast)

Katie Piper
I like her

very pleased to hear Katie Piper is doing it, she seems a genuinely lovely person

Mozzie, I absolutely loved that routine last year. Oti is my favourite dancer since Aliona left. Also last year she had Jonnie Peacock as her partner and I love him too

Katie's documentary from 2009 (triggering)
She is amazing. What she went through and how she has overcome it will never cease to amaze and inspire me.
I hope she has a wonderful time on the show and I am rooting for her.

I like Katie Piper too. And I actually know who she is (that's very exciting in GrouchyLand).

I mean, obvs I know who she is if I like her.

And she only had her second daughter eight months ago. Wow.
Go Katie! Really pleased she is on the show.
Her ted talk is here:

I am infuriated by the twitter feed going who? - I was already familiar with her story but some of the comments are really derisive. She is more worthy of being signed up for the show than any soap star or reality tv signing.

Exciting for me too grouchy Some names bandied around I have never heard of. Old.

Thinking abut the farce of last year's final I'm going to watch this because I love it but I'm going to TRY not to get caught up in ending

sorry 'in the ending'

just place marking and wondering what a Sabbatarian is 😀

I like Katie Piper, ever since watching her documentary. He courage at being in the public eye after everything she went through. I’d have hid from the world.

I like your list Sevendown!

Ah, Katie Piper, I hope she does well. I like her.
