Strictly 2025 : Rehearsal Rooms Chat

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

As the Warm Up Chat thread is filling up, we still need a place to chat for the next couple of weeks until the launch show. Please remember that if you want to discuss pairings ahead of that, please use the Spoiler Thread. I will start the weekly thread the night of the Launch Show.

Thanks

Telephone voting seems so anachronistic. I’m surprised it lasted until 2024 tbh.

Just had my annual email to say I was unsuccessful in the ticket ballot, as per.

I was also unsuccessful in the ticket ballot, but the email only mentioned the first three dates.

There’s still a chance for the later ones. An infinitesimally small chance, it seems, but let’s not give up yet.

Hmmmm. No rejection email for me (yet) but no success either!

And with that the email came through. Knocked back for the first 3 weeks, still in the running for further dates!

Yes mine was for first 3 weeks dates not hopeful for later dates but you have to be in it to win it

Fair point

I just applied for my usually Blackpool tickets so I think its a few weeks yet before they email for them 🤞

Morning all. I just said at the weekend it's nearly Strictly time 💃🕺🎶⚪️

I've had the nope email for the first three shows too. Fingers crossed for later in the series 🤞

Oh dear, Thomas Skinner "stormed"'out of the press launch.

From the Daily Fail

I always apply for Blackpool too. 🤞🤞 for us!

Is there a Strictly Spoilers thread?

Because apparently the pairings have been done.

@NoCommentingFromNowOn , yes I’ve seen them on another social media platform.

Yes there is one! I can’t link it at the moment can you search Strictly 2025 : The Spoiler Thread or scroll Telly addicts?

I have bumped the thread

I just saw on Dianne and by default Joe's instagram Dianne is pregnant, 😍

Aw, that's lovely.

I hope she doesn't have to withdraw at any point in the competition with pregnancy related sickness or anything.

Lovely news, I really like Dianne, I know she is a bit marmite on here.
Maybe she won't have a partner this year, we will find out on Saturday 🤗

Well, we know for certain that Luba, Nancy and Gorka have been benched.

I really like her too she seems such a genuinely lovely girl, exciting news i love Strictly babies.

Ah that’s lovely news. I wonder if she will still compete?

If she's 3 months now, she'll be 6 months when it ends, if they get that far. It seems a big ask, doesn't it?

I know they say that if you're used to exercising, you can keep going for the same rate as long as you're up to it, but it feels like it would be hard. And I can't think she'd want to be thrown all over the shop either! (Especially as your centre of gravity changes during pregnancy!)

Interesting how they will pivot this. If they’ve announced at 3 months, she’ll be six months by the time the show finishes. She won’t be able to do lifts?? One of the benched girls may have to step in partway

That's good news for Dianne but if I were partnered with her I would feel terrible if I accidentally dropped her or knocked her over. I'd certainly feel more than a little constrained. IIRC, KFG adapted the choreography for Frankie Bridge's showdance once he found out she was pregnant.
