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

They all have them now. Scottish schools are back this week and I've seen a few teen boys walking past with these haircuts obviously back to school Dos

Don't know his height but given his age, one for Alexis maybe. Or Nancy/Dianne/Jowita.

Harry - Alexis
Alex - Aljaz
Dani - Carlos
Jimmy - Michelle
Balvinder - Vito
George - Jowita

Radio 2 running a trailer to say Scott Mills will be announcing contestants (note the plural) tomorrow morning,

Is it worth tuning into the one show?

Omg so horrible 😅, I know i sound like I'm getting old

Excellent.

Same here!

I just hope someone's been quick off the mark and signed Patrick Grant up for the Xmas special.

George Clarke has 2.3 million followers on TikTok, my dd says he is really funny.
Apparently DWTS reinvented itself ratings wise by appealing to the TikTok generation and the new pro Alexis is all
over TikTok (constant posts), maybe the 2 of them together!

I asked my Dd who is 27 if she knew him her face went blank and she declared herself old 😀

You will start shouting get a proper haircut at young men of you are not careful 😀

There was talk of a drag queen this year but if there is, it ain't Tayce (who threw shade for being too much for them, presumably a bit prickly as Nitro chosen over him).

If they put a drag queen I won't watch. Simples.

I don't think they will though, if they're trying for a controversy-free series!

I am loving the hair cut comments btw. You can totally tell what generation you are by which side of the fence you're on 😄

@SequinsandSoleros your knowledge and memory for detail just blows me away, love reading your comments and feel much the wiser after doing so. Thanks to you and all the other brilliant contributors who really know their stuff!

'If they put a drag queen I won't watch. Simples.'

They've just announced a drag queen called La Voix. Not thrilled about it either

They've just announced drag queen La Voix, and someone called Chris who may be a rugby player?

Just put radio on and I thought it was Sara Cox speaking but no. Is the other one a rugby player?

Yes, Chris Robshaw apparently (never heard of him, but I don't follow rugby).

I saw La Voix in panto with Vernon Kaye last year, they were quite funny - not sure how they'll be on Strictly though. When The Vivienne was on Dancing on Ice I preferred the skates he did as himself rather than in character.

Chris Robshaw, he’s rugby union, he was England Captain.

La Voix should be fab.

Oh FFS so after last year's male heavy line up and the Christmas line up being skewed by a dress wearing male in a female slot we get another man who is no doubt being counted as a woman?

Very happy about Chris Robshaw doing strictly. BBC Breakfast is about to announce a contestant too.

Ellie Goldstein has been announced .

Ellie Goldstein has just been announced on bbc breakfast! On now
