Strictly

[ppeatfruit]

Anyone interested in bitching chatting about the new one , I know a bit of old goss. but someone must know more

Any dates yet when it is starting ?
Isit normally mid September?

Ooh didn't know that about Emma. Ok well she'll be better than I thought

Roxie doesn't just sit on a chair then?!

(I really liked DvO, but that was a ridiculous excuse.)

I read that Darcey left because she wanted equal pay with the other (male) judges. BBC refused. So she left. Will the BBC ever learn to pay women equally eh?

Took me ages to find this thread so please excuse me but need to post so I can find it in Threads I'm on

Is that David James the footballer, he looks too young! Not heard of the comedian although DH had, and I think the Eastender could be this year's ringer - excellent singer from memory (Children in Need).

DD didn't recognise any of them so not a great start for her.

And fourth contestant Saffron Barker from social media? DD has heard of her but not watched her so not going well here so far!

Only heard of Emma Barton so far...

That David James is talllllllll I thought he was a basketball player I 've not heard of any of them but I don't watch EE or sports or much mainstream stuff . Apart for GBBO and Strictly of course.

Having Oti on the One Show do that visit to help a young male ballroom dancer is telling us that the judges ARE going to be doing that ???

Apparently he is 6'4".

Who is the tallest Strictly celeb so far?

Jeremy Vine is 6'3" and he was "too tall" I seem to remember.

Jeremy Vine was tall and skinny so it was noticeable. David James is much more in proportion

😂

It's more the height of the Pro that makes it look odd. Is the new female particularly tall?

judged her sister objectively in the past - but I am  as to why they have announced a new female pro as no female pro has left

Katya has been bumped to backing dancer after last year's events.

Ooooh - is that official iklboo
I'd be surprised if they benched Katya rather than give her a partner like, say, Daniel O'Donnell?!

Good I reckon Katya was too OTT. It was like she was the contestant. I won't miss her.

There's been a lot in the press about it

HERE (and other sources too)

Wasn't the tallest one that boxer with the size 16 feet? Danced with Natalie.

I loved Natalie. Then again I still miss Ian.

I am so excited that Chris Ramsey is on Strictly! Anyone who hasn’t heard it, I’d highly recommend his podcast shagged married annoyed

Audley Harrison, bless him, was 6 ft 5 1/2
Colin Salmon was 6 ft 3 but pairing him with Kristina made him look taller than that

Mark Foster (the very good looking swimmer!) is tall. Apparently, he's the one who persuaded David James to do it.

Ah jeez, Saffron Barker's youtube channel is even more annoying than Joe's, which was annoying. I will try and be open-minded (I ended up liking Joe for the training videos he posted) but Lord have mercy, I'm the wrong demographic.
(Primark ranges she worked really hard on/clothes swap 'challenges'/ fleeky eyebrowed mum).
I am the cynical teacher in Easy A...
'' I don't know what your generation's fascination is with documenting your every thought... but I can assure you, they're not all diamonds. "Roman is having an OK day, and bought a Coke Zero at the gas station. Raise the roof."

Ooh, he's 6ft 4 (Mark) That would make David the tallest they've had? Any more for any more? They've had loads of tall sportsmen on DWTS of course...the tallest being Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at 7ft 1.
His pro once choreoed herself being on the shoulders of another female pro to meet Kareem's height in a routine! less politically correct was putting little person Terra on someone's shoulders to make a tall lady

7'1"!!
