STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

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

I've wanted Krishnan to do it for years but never thought he would. I'm pretty pleased with the level of signings so far. That's three people I've heard of and like so far. (Angela, Amanda and Krishnan.)

ooh I like Krishnan.

That’s right. And I’ve found that sometimes the people you expect to like turn out to be rather disappointing - and the ones you’ve never heard of may be really likeable and great to watch. Often it’s not the really well known ones who make the distance.

I have seen Leyton as Angel in rent. He dances better in high heels better than most women I know!! He was doing backflips off a podium at one point.

I do not believe he should be in Strictly

Maybe we need a new Strictly like we do with Masterchef. Strictly:The Professionals. So all the ringers can go in that one instead. It's pointless watching a journey that doesn't journey and just stays at the same level

Picture of said cartwheel

@TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme

Totally agree

@TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme good point!!

The sportsperson has got to be Stuart Broad surely... Molly probably already has him training 😄

And the one show presenter type person

Will we get the Buckingham Palace ballroom this year?

Although that could be Angela Rippon

Love Krishnan!

I don’t mind the ringers, at least we get a few good dances early on and sometimes I even vote for them. Anyone who makes me cry with their dance gets my vote. And I never vote for the “joke” contestants, bad dancing isn’t funny, and I want all the duffers gone by Blackpool. Please.

Musical Theatre Bloke is clearly the Ringeriest Ringer of all Ringers.

Has no chance of winning, but no chance of not making the final.

I think in my mind I will view him as a Guest Pro every week who doesn't count in th competition.

To be fair in the bad dancing category there's a gulf between the Diarmuid Gavin or Craig Kelly and Ed Balls type

I'm sure I read last week that it's not happening this year

Not officially no.

People are confusing a BBC announcement with press speculation

They aren't in it til announced by the BBC

Every year I hope for Mr Tumble/Justin Fletcher

So pleased Amanda Abbington is in, hope she does well. And Angela Rippon, surely they have to do a spoof of the spoof Morecambe and Wise dance somewhere along the line. Love Krishnan too, happy so far. Don’t know Layton but there’s always going to be a ringer, it’s looking like a good line up so far 😁

Layton has a huge ego.
I saw him walking back to the train station after a pride event. He wasn't the original in the musical everybody's talking about Jamie.
Was never into Bad Education. Not funny imo.

I know you need a mix of complete non-dancers and some dance experience or the first few weeks don’t work. But this does feel too far, he isn’t someone who danced 20 (or more) years ago. He is a dancer, who gives dance lessons.

I know Latin and Ballroom is different but dance training makes a massive difference.

He will be fawned over by the judges, which will get him very far but won’t have the public vote as there is no journey. His couple choice will be his day job.

Not for me!

I don't agree with this loads better when it was fair and some people a genuine shambles. Everyone grew.

Love Amanda. I can see I shall have to actually vote this year.

The problem with blatant ringers is the judges, even though they are obviously not popular, they will keep saving them, they always say they are shocked the ringer keeps being in the dance off.
