STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

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

Oh and Jody Cundy a paralympic I think
He is a cyclist.

Does this mean only 3 left to announce now? Or is there 4?

Paralympian* I can never remember how many contestants they have I thought it was 12.

I thought it was 12 or 15 celebs

Don't know much about Booby Brazier apart from he's Jade Goodie's son. Didn't know he had gone to Eastenders

If we get another contestant it will be a nice surprise.

Yeah Bobby Brazier has been in Eastenders since last year, he seems.a nice lad.

Bobby is quite funny and endearing in EE, but he comes across as a bit gangly, so that makes me put him in the can't dance much but entertaining slot. He may be stage school, but I don't know.
Their will be a very obvious sad story, and he may get the Jade vote, too.

Sorry not RTFT
what’s the latest with Owain wyn evans? He’s been rumoured this year and before, and ought to be a shoo-in but not appeared as yet

I didn't know he was Jade Goody's son.

I imagine his CC (if he gets that far) will be dedicated to her.

I read something somewhere that Bobby doesn't remember her much I'm not sure if he will get sentimental over her..

I think the production team usually encourage sob stories, and they try to find one in every contestant.

This is true yeah they will milk it,

🤣🤣🤣

Even if you don't get remember your mum I'm fairly sure you would still be upset about the loss of her.

Yes of course he will I was just relaying what I read,

I think this will be a good year but I really don't know very many of the celebrities which is disappointing.

Im delighted at Bobby Brazier. He is the loveliest lad 😍

i wish he would do it.
don't know the latest ones

I hope that Bobby doesn’t engage with any sob story. It puts off vi

sorry posted too soon - it’s puts off viewers, even those like me who were very sad for Jade. He can still raise awareness of cancer (i

The problem is, production think we love a sob story.
And the contestants will have a certain amount of pressure to do as they're told.
I know he's an adult, but I hope his dad and agent will be close on hand to keep an eye on things.

I think he and his dad are involved with a child bereavement charity so maybe something about that.

I love Bobby too - he's great in EE so hope he's good in this. Agree with pp that he has a gangly look about him, so not sure if he'll be a good dancer or not but he strikes me as someone who can turn his hand to anything.

Does anyone know when it will start yet? There’ll be the initial pairing up programme then a couple of weeks later it starts, is that right?

I predict Saturday 23rd September, with the intro/paring pre-recorded programme the week before.
