Strictly 2025 : Warm Up Chat

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Thought I’d sound the KLAXON and round everyone up for some Strictly chat about possible/rumoured contestants. They usually start announcing soon!

I’ve heard Dani Dyer, Stacey Solomon, Ashley Cain and Tom Parker Bowles

Ooh, I wasn’t expecting this thread so early but I’m here for it!

Checking in for rumours!

I’ve jumped the gun maybe, but I’m bored and Strictly will be on this time in two months !

I wonder how Celebrity Traitors will fit into the schedule?! Will Claudia be on all week!! ?

The only rumour I've seen that is remotely exciting is Stefan Dennis. Don't it make you feel good?

Although Tom Parker-Bowles could be interesting.

Too many reality/influencer types rumoured. They never seem to connect with the public and are usually boring and annoying.

Mwah! Hello my Strictly family.
I haven't heard the rumours but thank you for the thread. It's been a challenging year. I'll look forward to getting my heels out soon.
What with Wynn being cancelled and Jamie calling Blackpool residents a disablist slur, and the recent furore with Aliona-botherer Gregg-with-two-gs, I would hope they just want some safe names. Am still up for being a chaperone in my silver years! Saw the Noel Edmonds doc on ITVX. Get him on for a short stint. And I still want a Chaser. And a Ghosts alumnus. And a golden oldie like Shakin' Stevens.
Thank you for the shiny new thread!

Did you see Johannes is leading Kinky Boots at the Coliseum in London from March 2026? Will this be his last year in Strictly?

Oh Hello 👋🏻

Thanks for the thread Eine. The only rumour I’ve seen so far is Stefan Dennis which I’m quite pleased about. I’ve usually never heard of most of the people on it so am just hoping for more people I know this year.

Hadn't heard anything so checking in so I can keep my finger on the pulse. Thanks all!

I have a friend who will be delighted about Stefan Dennis. Tom PB an obvious ploy to get Q. Camilla there. I wonder what happened over the possibility they would use Buckingham Palace ballroom ?

He has said recently he would do Strictly as long as they want him, and he is able. Kinky boots is fab.

Hi i am just here for the goss.

@SequinsandSoleros Nice to see you to see you nice! I doubt they could afford what Noel Edmonds would charge!

Perfectly welcome !

Richie, traffic announcer on Radio 2 I think. He's either doing Strictly or the jungle.

He did it 2 years ago

Richie was dreadful. He was with Gio. They dressed up as something

Timon and pumba from the lion king, it is etched in my brain😀

That’s the one

It was the oddest pairing Giovanni hated every minute of it !

Ah, OK, I should have known that. Must be I'm a celeb then.

Maybe,

Yay! I was on the thread last year and year before, but have namechanged.

I saw Janette Manrara as Roxie Hart in Chicago a month ago, and was very pleaaantly surprised by her singing/ acting as well as her dancing. She was pretty great! Has a future as a West End star in the right role.

I also saw both Oti and Flavia in Oti's show Viva Carnival. Both were amazing! Lots of samba, paso, Latin dancing, fiery crowdpleasing fun. Flavia has not aged a day and still has abs of steel. It was nice to see Oti dance with her husband Marius too.

Oh I saw Oti and Flavia were touring i love Flavia she is a goddess 😍

If anyone's watched series 3 of Traitors, the rumour of Jake Brown being on Strictly has been debunked by the man himself. Thank goodness.

They rumoured Molly from S2 Traitors last year - no idea why neither are celebrities
