Hello folks,
Last one filled up and I was surprised another hadn't been started for a while.

First thoughts:
I like this year's cohort and I recognise a few faces.

  • Jayde reminds me of Dawn French. Wasn't expecting her to be paired with Karen.
  • Carlos and Vito will be interesting to watch in their debut. Molly went to Sylvia Young Theatre, so she could be a ringer.
  • I've seen Jowita in The Greatest Dancer and she was phenomenal. Hamza looks like he'll be good fun.
  • Luba looked amazing during John Legend's performance and it's a shame that neither her celebs went very far. Maybe she's better suited to dancing in the background.
  • When Helen Skelton mentioned needing someone who could understand a northern accent, I immediately guessed it was Gorka.
  • Ellie and Johannes look good together. She's absolutely delighted with him, and I hope we get to watch them for a good while.
  • Matt Goss seems rather subdued, but I think he'll have a good work ethic and deliver a good performance.

Matt is 53, only 2 years younger than Bill Bailey was when he was in it but I dont think anyone dare refer to Matt's age.

He's a very earnest chap.

He might be like Will young and flounce!

Or Robert Webb.

littlbrowndog · 24/09/2022 20:12

That face 😞

Sunbird24 · 24/09/2022 20:12

Resting baffled face…

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 24/09/2022 20:12

Aww Matt. Let me dig my bottle tops out and I’ll shake them like maracas for you next week

ilovebrie8 · 24/09/2022 20:12

The hair dyed and transplant not doing him any favours ...

the80sweregreat · 24/09/2022 20:13

Matt baffled 😮

Simonjt · 24/09/2022 20:13

Maireas · 24/09/2022 20:12

He just looks baffled, full stop.

Maybe the botox, I’m fairly certain his face hasn’t moved

covetingthepreciousthings · 24/09/2022 20:13

Or Robert Webb

He didn't flounce though did he? He has a heart condition and I don't think thought it through properly joining.. ?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 24/09/2022 20:13

i am here for Ellie S

the80sweregreat · 24/09/2022 20:13

Ellie is sweet.

ilovebrie8 · 24/09/2022 20:14

Just realised no Janette this year am missing Alijaz too !

Sunbird24 · 24/09/2022 20:14

Come on Ellie!

SequinsandStilettos · 24/09/2022 20:14

Evil Aliona danced with him in a Xmas special and did some classic Aliona moves

Simonjt · 24/09/2022 20:14

covetingthepreciousthings · 24/09/2022 20:13

Or Robert Webb

And neither did Will, he was struggling with ptsd and the death of his twin brother.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 24/09/2022 20:15

Come on Ellie!!!

I reckon you have sass in buckets

the80sweregreat · 24/09/2022 20:15

Oh sorry re Will
I thought he left because it wasn't going that well !
I liked him

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 24/09/2022 20:15

I was beyond sad when Will left. I pinned all my hopes on him for the trophy.

ShirleyJackson · 24/09/2022 20:16

Go on Ellie!

SequinsandStilettos · 24/09/2022 20:17

Adored Will Young and he did not flounce. Tbf, even if he had, I wouldn't have blamed him as Len was an overcritical, cranky, rude git towards the bollywood salsa and Karen was driving him pretty hard. With Natalie, would have perhaps been different.

MomwasCasual · 24/09/2022 20:17

She's a really good dancer

Simonjt · 24/09/2022 20:17

Aren’t dancing trousers awful

GrouchyKiwi · 24/09/2022 20:17

Nice work, Ellie. Lots of fun.

Nikita is a sweetheart.
