STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

The first three celebrities will be revealed on The One Show tonight!

So. We have the reality TV star, the BBC DJ, a news person, the old woman (sorry Ms Rippon), the actor, the TV presenter. We need the obligatory Eastender, a comedy number, who else are we expecting? I don't follow any of the rumour sites.

Nigel Harman (ex-Eastender) has been heavily rumoured

A sports person
A disabled person
An influencer

I saw that too - was actually disappointed as he seemed fun. But, yeah, it might be fun watching some tantrums!

Didn't one of his brothers do strictly maybe

I like Adam! Good choice

Yeah I genuinely adore him. Maybe he'll be on too? Or maybe next year if things work out ok this year?🤞🤞🤞

Nikita Kanda from Asian network? Never heard of her, and don't watch Waterloo Road so don't know the other actor either.

They HAVE to pair up Nikita and Nikita, don't they?

So excited by the announcement of Adam, seems like a lovely guy and lots of fun! My favourite signing so far..

My money is on Stuart Broad. He'll need a tall partner, he's 6'5".

Is Adam the one who was on a reality show and someone accused him of hitting her but when they checked the cameras he hadn’t actually done anything? Maybe five years ago?

I think that was his brother Ryan?

That was Ryan Thomas who was accused by Roxanne Pallett. 2018. I think he is the brother of hte Strictly guy?

saving this thread for future strictly gossip/banter etc

I think that Les Dennis was rumoured to be appearing. We will see.

Ahh ok so Ryan was in Coronation Street and the reality show, and his brother Adam is in Strictly? Thanks @covetingthepreciousthings @GenieGenealogy .

I’ve heard that he’s a very funny man in real life.

Re obligatory sport’s people I’m wondering if they might have a Lioness lined up to take part? When is the WWC final, does it fit in?

Or maybe one of the Roses squad, seeing as the netball World Cup is now over?

I think Jill Scott has been heavily rumoured.

Didn't Jilll Scott do im a celeb last year ? I stopped watching it well Nick Hancocks face !

Was she Madam Ramotswe?

Different Jill Scott. Madam Ramotswe had many excellent qualities, but would have performed poorly on the international football stage.

Ohh 💡

😂🤣😂.

Placemarking! Definitely need some older people in this line up.

😂

I saw Les in Hairspray with Michael Ball. In the group dances he gave it a good go but was always about 2 beats behind everyone else, and looked like he was just some random who'd been pulled out the audience to join in .......my hopes won't be high, if he does appear 😁
