Strictly 2020, Bubbles and no Bruno?

[Mrsemcgregor]

I’m not sure if there is a thread already, please direct me to it if there is!

It’s summer which means its the time of year I start musing about which celebs might be up for the glitter ball trophy this year! I was a bit worried we might not be getting a series this year but a quick google reassured me plans are in place.

So it looks like they are hoping for bubbles between the stars and professionals families, possibly weekly CV testing and temp checks. Hair, make up and costume to be done with PPE. Sounds like they could put on a fairly similar show to normal. No audience though, which will be weird. And I guess no gathering of contestants for the scores, which will be weird. Will the whole thing lack atmosphere?

Jacqui Smith. She's 59 don't ya know!!! We'll have to call her Jackeeeeh!

I can't take Neil seriously 😂
I know he's supposed to be an awesome choreographer and all...

Is Nancy going to be his Katya substitute for all pro-dances?

Did I hear correctly that Aljaz & Jeanette will be staying in separate bubbles with their respective Celebrity partners for the duration of strictly - so possibly living apart til Xmas?

Someone had better wheel out Anton now...

Yeah they did say Aljaz and Janette are living separately

@Walkingtheplank

Can someone explain the bubbles. Do the pairs now have to live with each other and no one else? And did I hear right that Janette and Aljiaz can't live together?

After the initial bubble the celebs dancers just live with their pro, rather than them all remaining in the original large bubble.

Strictly curse this year...

HRVY JNT is making me think of the ' f y cn rd ths mssg y cn bcm scrtry ' adverts that used to be all over the underground [old timer]

Jason and Nadine have a daughter. They’re still on good terms. I saw Jason said Nadine had been teaching him some moves.

Well...

Could anyone identify Jackie Smith's dress, the blue animal print?? It's gorgeous!!!

@2Rebecca

Awful music. Is this camp and woke Strictly? Where are the ordinary people? Maybe that's just celebrities for you

What do you mean by ordinary people?

@OperationallySound

Is that Jamie Laing or Judge Rinder

That's what DH said😊

Oh YES badlydoneHelen, I remember those!

Omg what if you hate your celeb early on?! Imagine if Aliona had to 'bubble' with Gregg Wallace lol.

I love Nicola.

Jeanette will be showing him all the wrong moves so she can get back to Alijaz

I’m so confused, who is Jason that people are talking about?

110% groan. Although I like her more than the others so far. I hadn't realised she was black.

Kat looks as though she has been having fillers for Breakfast, lunch and tea.

No bubbles apart from injectabubbles. Maybe.

If she doesn’t get Anton I’ll be shocked!

Or Anton and Ann WIddecombe? Although, maybe....
(Actually she was my MP for a while and was a belter, even if I didn't agree with her!)

I'm running 5 minutes behind- WTH have wardrobe put BVB in!?

@SimonJT

I’m so confused, who is Jason that people are talking about?

Jason Bell, NFL player and ex of Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud

I am not shocked

Anton as Inspector Gadget!!

Are checked jackets really in for men this year?
