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.

Yes she's been announced Sass BBC Press Office release

Who was the sports guy with one foot last year? I felt sorry for him because very little allowance was made for his extraordinary dancing. I know he said he didn't want allowance made but I got the feeling he pressured himself unduly and that there SHOULD have been SOME leeway made for him.

The guy who won couldn't dance as well as he did IMO.

Hopefully there'll be some thought given to Katie's situation.

@ppeatfruit Johnny Peacock.

Thanks Silly

I like katie piper: :) Kara tointon and Jill halfpenny are still my all time faves

Chelsea Halfpenny keeps popping up on the “rumour” lists - it’ll be interesting if she is in it because everyone will have high expectations because of her aunt!

I explained to my Strictly obsessed three and a half year old that there was going to be a new series with new dancers, and she's seriously not happy that it won't be Debbie McGee again. She still regularly watches last year's final and is totally Debbie mad!!

ppeatfruit, I have been a big fan of Jonnie Peacock since watching him in the 2012 Paralympics.

I thought he was brilliant last year. It annoyed me that the judges kept talking about his bum sticking out. He explained that there was not a lot he could do about it because it was all about balance because of his artificial leg. It didn't shut them up though

Katie Piper seems like a lovely person, I definitely approve. I didn’t realise she was visually impaired. I’m sure they’ll make allowances for her if required.

Checking in, delighted Katie is doing it, I think she is an amazing person

Sorry red That was my error. Katie had her sight restored - to what percent I am not sure: www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-16918223

I’m going to throw in Tim Peake as my guess/hope!

My EE guess is the one who played Shakil. He's just left and is about to start in Casualty (double BBC points).

I don't watch any breakfast shows, so not sure who's left that they haven't already had.

Ex girl band ringer might be one of them from The Saturdays, although I see that Mel B is short of cash so might be a possibility.

Tim Peake would be good although I am not sure he would be any good at dancing (happy to be proven wrong though).

Please not Mel B. As bad, if not worse, than Cheryl Whatsit

Mel B can't do it as she did DWTS already (she was very good actually)

Cheryl's judging that Greatest Dancer show with Oti.
She learnt hiphop with Will.i.am and did some training with Derek Hough so shoe-in for ringer accusations.
This is just lovely...

Excited about Katie Piper being on. That was a surprise.

Please not another ex Saturday contestant. Last year I expected Mollie to be very good, with her experience in a girl band but she was abysmal!

New reveals on The One Show

Faye Tozer from Steps

And one other.

John Jules from Red Dwarf

*Danny John Jules

Danny John-Jules is a dancer, surely?

I think he can be a bit temperamental too ...

I hope he’s not Sassitude. I’ve always thought he was quite fun loving and easygoing. (I went off Dom Littlewood after Strictly)

Love Danny John Jules

Danny john Jules was meant to do the real monty series 1 but had work comitments soo Ashley Banjohad to stand in and for that I loves Danny 😀
