Unless we talk too much of course!

Is it bad that I recognised Gorka from his hairline from the back?

Gorka + Northern Soap star - seems to work on real life sooooo

Lovely dress Katie has on there

I think Robert/Diane could be a fun combo - I think he'll be quite secretly competitive but with a humorous touch.

@GrouchyKiwi

I am not sure about this. Dianne hasn't impressed me so far. May this be your year, Dianne.

She was in the final with Joe Sugg though. I think they could be a good couple.

Nervous? Still full of Karim though.

I think he is going to irk me rather quickly.

😍 Gorka.

Think Katie may be irritating.

Geez, Reese has a beautiful face

I've just noticed the judges still have their own tables, but they've been allowed to be a bit closer this time.

Think Hacker the dog should do strictly

Oh Lord, not that awful puppet dog again.

Hello mumsnet strictly peeps! Always followed your lovely threads alongside the guardian live blog. Not sure if I will be brave enough to post but it is great to have this glitter bomb joy back. I am slightly underwhelmed by the line up considering celebs apparently line up to take part and during covid many have been out of work. However, as we all know it is all about the journey and getting to know them. Bring on the fake tan!!!

They're separated by a sheet of Perspex

Phew, I was so worried it was Katya from the hair. Hopefully Nancy isn't too mad.

🥳🥳

Is this Nancy’s first partner? Good on her!!

Excited to see more of Nancy in a pairing

Soooo excited, I love Tom & Dan

I’m really interested to see this lass dancing.

Not him though unless he chills a bit.

Hacker the dog was by far the best actor in that scene. Hate all the fake surprise shit.

Oo join us willstart, i talk shite a lot of the time but still post, if i can, you can

Frank looks nice.

Love her on Dragons.

Don’t love the fifties starlet look. 😡
