STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

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

And danced in the appropriate 1950s style obviously.

We've never had an Angela before, and now two in the same series!

Which partnerships would you like to see so far?
I think I'd like Katya to get Leyton as I think she deserves a ringer soon.

I'd love Angela to get Giovanni.

Didn't Layton ask for a male pro? I like PP's suggestion of Nikita for him.

Agree Angela with Giovanni would be aces.

Eddie looks like he's tall so might need to be with Nadiya.

I always get Angela Scanlon and Alice Lavine mixed up. So if she's also announced, I'll probably keep voting for the wrong one 😆

Is Alice Lavine on a rumour list? I would love to watch her- I find her funny and very smart

Apparently some children are threatening to boycott the show due to Amanda Abington’s presence 🙄 They’ve taken issue with her stating that she doesn’t believe sexualised drag performances are suitable entertainment for children.

Heck that statement makes me even more likely to vote for her!

Not that I know of, no.

Are we expecting one announcement per day, now?
I knew the blue-haired keyboard warriors would be out for Amanda as soon as she was announced. It's clear they have no idea how Strictly works when they were describing how they were going to 'vote her out'! Most Strictly viewers will have no idea about any online issues anyway, I can't imagine it will impact the show at all once it's on.

Amanda has made a statement on Instagram (I was able to view it despite not having an account)

I’m quite irritated by that statement, far too apologetic and lengthy.

Zara McDermott confirmed

Underwhelming

Had to Google her. She’s not the sort of person I’d know of. Probably the least interesting choice so far.

Another who from me. And the 1extra guy (but they aren't after my 54yo ears)
Everyone else good so far. Love Angela S and Amanda and Angela R is a dancing ledge!

They usually announce the most famous signings at the beginning and end of the announcements, and a few 'who?'s in the middle

She's alright! I prefer her fella Sam Thompson

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

I've not heard of Eddie Kadi . I think Angela Scanlon will be good.

I saw this yesterday absolutely ridiculous 🙄

The line up is looking good already I read somewhere that Leyton williams was an absolute brat when he was in the jamie musical so I'm looking forward to the foot stomping when he gets Critique from Craig,😂

Yes, even though he seems destined to go a long way into the series, I am hoping Layton doesn't get paired with one of my favourite pros.

Adam Thomas from Waterloo Road just announced. For some reason I thought he had been on Strictly already.

I also thought he'd been on Strictly he did I'm a celeb but I was certain he had done Strictly,
