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..

Aljaz and Janette have also been on holiday with Sara and her family. John and Johannes are also very much in touch with each other. I met John a few weeks ago and he told me that he and Johannes had been to London Pride together. I met Johannes on his Freedom tour back in April and he talked about John quite a bit!

DH just interrupted my shower to say BBC breakfast announcing first two contestants this morning 🥳

Sidisawetlettuce · 04/08/2022 07:49

Don't they usually leave the big guns til last and announce the Z Listers first?

Sidisawetlettuce · 04/08/2022 07:53

Ooh Will Mellor!

Samcro · 04/08/2022 07:56

pleased

TitsInAbsentia · 04/08/2022 07:59

I think he's a great first announcement...at least I know who he is 🤣

Last year Tom Fletcher and Robert Webb were announced first.

Pleased with Will for a first announcement, I think he'll want to do well. I think he'd go well with Karen maybe?

He might work well with Katya.

I am adding them to Instagram as they are announced. Mainly so I get a bit of insight before we get going. He does seem like a properly lovely man

Danikm151 · 04/08/2022 08:20

Hopefully they won’t turn all his dances into comedy dances. Will be good to see him be serious

Sparklingbrook · 04/08/2022 08:24

OMG I love Will Mellor. The podcast he does with Ralf Little is hilarious, I can't wait for all of Ralf's comments they will be gold. Grin

SequinsandStilettos · 04/08/2022 08:25

I'd pair him with Amy I think. I like him a lot. He has refused IACGMOOH in the past and possibly Glitterball as he did not want any drama.

Runwalkskijump · 04/08/2022 08:25

I doubt there will be anyone from football. It clashes with the World Cup.

I thought they normally bookended the announcements with big hitters

They suck you in with an a-lister or 2 then announce a load of people you might not have done. Then they think well I know most of you might not have of heard of any of them so here is two more a-listers

God I love the Strictly build up every year! So exciting and so comforting at the same time ☺️

Sparklingbrook · 04/08/2022 08:42

There will be interesting uproar because Mrs Mellor owns and runs a very successful performing arts school. Wink

Kim Marsh has just been announced. I like her.

MinglingFlamingo · 04/08/2022 08:53

Tv presenter Kim Marsh has just been announced on BBC breakfast

Mmm. She's quite annoying, and also uproar because she must have had previous dance experience.

GrouchyKiwi · 04/08/2022 08:55

I've seen Will Mellor in things (though didn't know his name), and I've heard of Kim Marsh, so this is a good start for me!

Mrsjayy · 04/08/2022 08:56

I'm watching now I like Kim I took dd to see Hearsay in concert and can confirm Kim isn't a "Dancer" 😄

Oh ok, so she's tried to dance before but it wasn't great. Grin I'm pleased with one out of the two announcements so better than last year already.
