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

Eime

It will be fine.
If she does end up with a partner, they'll do the lift-less, low-risk first: a nice, easy foxtrot, a tango, a waltz, a Viennese, a cha cha and leave the lifts: AS, Charleston, salsa, paso (floor spin) to one of the benched.
So half-half, same as JB last year
It's easy enough to do and adapt and means Dianne could still choreo latter routines.

Curious as to whether production were in the know or not, before today. Also, they have announced the sex so I'd have said further along than 3 months. Pleased for them both.

What sex is it I’m not on Social Media?

Normally you’d say pregnancy doesn’t affect your ability to do your job but in this case?

A boy.

Thanks!!

I wonder if we see him on next years show?!

That’s lovely news about Diana and Joe 🥰 wonder how Vicky Giggles will deal with her growing bump? Lots of empire lines or maybe an opportunity to inspire other maternity designers that you can be more adventurous than a tent.

You can find out from 10 weeks with a NIPT test, so maybe it was that which revealed it.

A few contestants have got pregnant during the show: Frankie Bridge, Emma Bunton (I think). Anyway, lovely news for Dianne

I thought I’d lost you all for a while there! Never fear, I’m back 😜

Lovely news for Dianne and Joe, just hope she doesn’t end up too exhausted doing the show.

Sorry I've lost the link, but I read last night that Toyah has admitted to turning down two younger pros and actually choosing Neil as her partner as he was slightly older and that suited her better.

I actually think that's quite sweet, although it didn't really work out that well for her in the end!

Hi cave good to see you.
That's really interesting frog.
I did expect someone else to get her last year.
I'd still like to see Neil prove everyone wrong one year.

I reckon Dianne knows she can carry on during her pregnancy as she’s been partnered with a duffer, and will likely be out on the first couple of weeks. Previous year winners usually are after all. Pro dances have already been filmed. So she’ll be completely safe.

You know this for certain? They may be a popular duffer or even a contender.

It doesn't always follow that a champion gets someone less competent the following year. Look at Vito - 3 ringers in a row!

Stefan looked like he had some moves in his VT

Of course not. Hence the use of reckon. It’s my theory, that’s all.

I’ll be starting the first of the Main Threads at about 5pm tomorrow just so everyone is aware

I think guessing she's going to be given a Duffer is correct. I do wonder how far along she is, they must have got an early test for the sex because she can't be as much as 20 weeks already? She would be ready to pop by the final! I watched the YouTube video on Joe's channel and he said she wanted to show that pregnant women aren't useless, basically, which I like. How often do you see pregnant women on TV just being excellent at what they do? It doesn't happen.

Even if she does get given a duffer, they could be a popular duffer who gets to the semi final.

Anyway, whether she gets given one or not, l agree that she may have to withdraw in the middle of the competition.

Pete and Jowita are definitely a thing now, apparently!

Is that Pete who was in the last series? They do look good together.

Yeah, Pete of the Pink PVC trousers, poor guy!

Why did Tom storm out ?

Oh are they ? I know he is a.love/hate person but I like Pete he is hilarious.

I'm still traumatised by those trousers! 🙈🤣
