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

I saw that joke and didn't even get it at the time. Now I'm groaning 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Well, apart from A kick in the head, we could have routines to White lines, Love is the drug, Gold dust woman, Bloodstream/A team and I can't feel my face...but yes, line dancing amused me.

Ooh, Ellie would be good. She's Janette's height so either one for Gorka or in theory, they could go with Aljaz (as he's used to dancing with a shorter partner). Anyone know where she's based geographically?

Ah, Ilford (London) that might rule out both pros?

She's from London she was on "something " recently maybe Sunday brunch and they were talking about Ilford .

Nikkita isn't very tall is he ? She might get him he danced with Ellie simmons .

He'd be lovely to her but the producers usually mix it up a bit, so him having two diminutive partners both called Ellie...I think they'll match her with a different pro.
Or she could get <drumroll> Neil!!!

Yeah more than likely.

Oh god not Neil !

Neil would be decent to her.
He's not the tallest.
He's had 45 titles (even if we never see it with his choreo).
He is in need of a longer stint on the show (and Ellie will probably have a decent public vote as we usually get behind those with additional needs).

Neil would be way too old for her, I think.

Fair point. She is 23 though. Shouldn't be infantilised. And he's a big kid. Needs to grow up. There you go!
Because isn't the youngest male pro at the moment...Kai!!!!

Julian is only 29. I wanted him for Alex but she could always have Vito, who Sarah will have recommended. I don't want her to get Neil just because she's older.

You seem very informed @Valleycat very interesting posts

Hope they have more women this year.

Following…

@Valleycat , some of the pros on the live tour are not pros in the show - Robbie, Jake and the tall one! This may explain why the pros who appear on the show have been given new contracts etc.

Thanks for the intel. Lots of tea .
It is clear that Wynne has talked to the Sun, in the same way it was clear Amanda/Gio gave their sides to opposing papers last year.
I also agree that the phrase "Not too close to Jamie, old Spitroast boy," is casting aspersions on the latter's lovelife.
Why would Wynne forward the sex toy video to the Sun though? Why not one of Jamie's exes? It does not show Wynne in a good light, it simply reaffirms a sleazy/puerile persona. Whereas had an ex sent it, which I'm sure Wynne claimed on radio last week, then it makes more sense for him to have passed on the Blackpool slur story as tit-for-tat. Also are the seven allegations (Mail reported on?) absolutely concrete because, again, Wynne claimed on radio he had never had any complaints in his HR file, that they spent five months backing up their disrepute story by trumped up claims, one of which cannot be true as he wasn't working that day.
Hence why he thinks Beeb is corrupt and external investigation needed. He has complained about HR themselves. What does your source say?

In the meantime, sexy shenanigans with International Men of Mystery pro swingers?! Who sold them that one?
On board the Blackpool Sex Train or should that be tram - God, I still miss Monkseal.

???

So do I Why did he stop ?
