Starting a new thread as can't seem to find one yet, and suddenly feeling very aware that we are likely only days away from line up announcements!

Who do we all think will be on the line up this year? I thought last year was one of the best line ups, a good mix.

Rumours so far include Gino D'Campo, Scarlett Moffat, Steph McGovern, Dawn French..

The first announcements last year were on Wednesday 4th August, so hopefully the same again this year..

He just loves himself so much and he is obviously skint and doing a Bros reunion.

Yes to this!

You only have to look at a few of his recent interviews, he totally does love himself. Pity he didn't do a Craig and get a decent job after his 15 minutes of fame was over. It's a pity too, Luke comes across as far nicer than Matt!

Matt will be utterly unbearable on Strictly.

All the Brosettes I knew were total mean girls. (No offence!) Remember the Grolsch bottle tops? I'm cautiously pleased with Matt as a signing, although he has massive Donobot potential.

Hmm not sure about all Brosettes being mean girls? DB's ex GF from years ago was a Brosette and she was lovely!

But you were either a Wham! or Duran Duran fan (I was a Wham! fan though I did like some Duran Duran songs) or you were a Brosette - but slightly later on I think they were than Wham! or Duran Duran.

Another one Team Matt. Bloody loved Bros. I’m hoping he drops the tude and the boy and shows me the guy I had a crush on all those years ago.

I’d love it if he made me go wibbly at the knees again.

MrsJamin · 08/08/2022 14:51

I feel really sorry for whoever gets to dance with Matt - yes he has rhythm but unless he's changed, he seems to have the biggest ego possibly ever seen on Strictly! He's going to act as if he's too good for the show and will just go on about his Vegas residency.
I've just pressed play on the After The Screaming Stops documentary (now on Netflix) - it is SO funny, like some David Brent mockumentary!

Maireas · 08/08/2022 15:14

I often don't know who these people are, but you get to know them as the series goes on. I'd never heard of Rose or Ugo before, but they were lovely.
Jayde has done competitive dance, so could be a ringer.

MrsJamin · 08/08/2022 15:22

I wonder if he'll dance to Superstitious 😂

Oh, it was just the Brosettes I knew who were mean girls. (Not all Brosettes! Don't set them on me!) I was going through my The Cure/Echo and the Bunnymen phase. The Brosettes were obsessed. They genuinely couldn't comprehend why anyone wouldn't be into Bros, to the point that it made them angry. They would have been absolutely mental on Twitter, had that existed.

That's one of my evening viewings sorted - thanks!

Matt Goss was a very good looking man when he was younger - but sadly (unlike one of my best friends!) I've never really been into tall, blond haired blue eyed men (well was for a bit but then changed type Wink!

Claymorekick · 08/08/2022 17:01

Yy to the documentary being exactly like a mockumentary but obviously that was not the intention! It was genuinely upsetting to see how the twins relationship had deteriorated so much though.

I was definitely not a 'mean girl' Brosette - just am obsessed 14 year old crushing on a handsome popstar 😆in hindsight, I think the attraction was the fact they were non threatening pretty boys. My tastes have definitely changed since then onto very masculine, dark hairy men 🙈 couldn't be more opposite to Matt Goss 😅

It's a pity how the twins relationship has deteriorated so much over the years. Matt seems to have gone the total opposite to Luke, who's got married and had a step-daughter and it seems a more secure career as an actor.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 08/08/2022 17:07

Oh, just seen Luke split from his wife but it was a long marriage. That's a shame.

JanisMoplin · 09/08/2022 04:51

Olivia Newton-John has died:( Really hope they do a tribute to her. Gio and Faye's quickstep to " You Are The One That I Want" was one of my favourite quicksteps of all.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 09/08/2022 06:53

oh no Sad

A wee tribute would be lovely.

To Xanadu.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 09/08/2022 09:05

That's very sad about Olivia Newton-John, she always seemed a lovely woman.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 09/08/2022 09:11

For anyone who hasn't seen the Bros documentary 'After the Shouting Stops' - it's hilarious but sad in so many ways!

Matt comes across as a total bell-end, when he's being interviewed in his Las Vegas home talking about his decor, his life, about how he likes rocks because they remind him of London's concrete. I don't know what he's on but he really doesn't seem all there.

Luke on the other hand - he's also very egotistical (unsurprisingly) but has made a career as an actor and he's had a very different childhood from Matt with ears that stuck out (and needed an operation) but I also feel he was overshadowed by Matt as a child/teenager/adult as he said he often went for walks as a teenager by himself to get space! Matt's a total child though, when they were talking about concert set ups, he didn't get one part of it, was rude to Luke who tried to ease the situation and then stormed out, equally rude to Luke when they were practising.

Mrsjayy · 09/08/2022 09:50

Ellie Taylor is next I do like it.

Mrsjayy · 09/08/2022 09:51

Her*

FartOutLoudDay · 09/08/2022 10:45

Oh I like her too!

MrsJamin · 09/08/2022 10:52

So thrilled that Ellie Taylor is in it - I've seen her live and talked to her a little after the show - she was really nice and SO funny. Let's all remember how wonderful she was in this clip

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 09/08/2022 11:02

Aye. Ellie is a cracker.

DameHelena · 09/08/2022 11:21

She annoyed me on the Throw Down and I was pleased when Siobhan came back. Sorry Ellie. She is ace in this clip though.

I'd LOVE Sue Barker to do it. Seriously sobbed when John McEnroe did that unscripted thank you bit at the on-court legends session at Wimbledon. I'll miss her so much.

Maireas · 09/08/2022 11:27

I'd love Siobhan to do it! She's great.

lollipoprainbow · 09/08/2022 11:36

Ellie Taylor yay !! I love her she'll be great

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 09/08/2022 11:44

I too loved Siobhan. They both brought different things to the wheel and although I loved Ellie, I think Siobhan just pipped it for me.

I need one of the lovely people from the Repair Shop now.

I don’t care who it is. They are all ruddy lovely and They’d be my favourite.

So there.
