Strictly 2025 : Warm Up Chat

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

Oh dear, this sounds bad - Strictly Come Dancing star arrested on suspicion of rape in fresh blow for scandal-hit show just weeks before series returns to screens.

Yikes.

NewAgeNewMe · 23/08/2025 23:03

Not great stuff at the moment for Strictly. I wonder if a professional or a celebrity. The poor victim.

Herts police investigating - Elstree studios?
All the male pros were in rehearsal on Fri.
BBC were at pains to say it wasn't to do with current production.
Nonetheless, yikes sums it up.

Nicer news - TIL Joe McFadden is engaged to be married to his soulmate. He announced his engagement to his boyfriend last Autumn. I must have blinked and missed it. They do look cute together.

Oh dear, this is really bad.

autumngirl714 · 24/08/2025 00:11

I wonder if they’re referring to a male celeb who has been in the show as opposed to a male pro?
I know it suggests it ties in with the drug investigations but a male celeb could well be ta glee up in that as well!

Coffeeishot · 24/08/2025 08:45

Just read about the arrest it's just getting worse isn't it?

I've not seen that in fact I've not seen anything about Joe for ages. I thought he was absolutely charming on Strictly, I really liked him.

This, and Mollie and Tyler is super news, a nice contrast to all the crap we're hearing.

Coffeeishot · 24/08/2025 09:24

Joe McFadden is going to be in the stage version of shawshank redemption. He was on morning tv the other day that's where i saw he was engaged.

What’s ‘intimate image abuse'?

I took that as sharing naked images or maybe sex acts.

Coffeeishot · 24/08/2025 09:31

But the article also says there’s a suspicion of rape. I don’t know which is true. Or is it both?
I hope it turns out to be a sleb who was on the show in the past. Not sure how much more scandal Strictly can take otherwise!

It is both. It does look bad for them going forward.

Saw him doing promo for Shawshank. He hasn't aged at all.

X post with coffee.

In other news, Bobby Brazier is leaving EE and going to study Hare Krishna religion in India!!

Could not be less surprised. He will last 6 months.

Also, Giovanni is engaged to Bianca Guaccero, his partner on Italy's Dancing with the Stars. Deeply unsurprised about that too.

Sharing images without the consent of the person probably.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 24/08/2025 12:12

“a man in his thirties” according to the report I just read.

I’ve read a couple articles saying “former strictly come dancing star” which makes me think it must be a previous contestant?

Coffeeishot · 24/08/2025 15:15

Is the arrest anything to do with the drink/drugs stories I think im maybe reading the articles wrong.

Could be a pro who’s left.
but I also think it’ll turn out to be a sleb.

I’m reading it as there being a connection between the 2 stories, yes, which means someone from last series

Right, i wanted to make sure I wasn't at cross purposes,

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 24/08/2025 15:29

I may well be at cross purposes myself! It’s just what i have deduced from it, I may be wrong
