Heard on the radio earlier that Jeremy Vine is the first one to be named to compete in this year’s series.

Gosh it is not that time again already is it :shock:
SCD makes me think of dark nights and a word I won’t mention until December ….shudders
I will be watching this if only to see the colourful costumes ,it has become too regimented in its format and every series is the same old same old which is a shame.
Oh dear, I do hope he doesn’t bare his chest and wear lurex 
Nah, they didn’t make Anne Widecomb, did they. 
Better get the sprouts on…
SCD …lovely jubilee :-p
LOL Mups…norty!!
Each to his or her own of course, but …
You would have to chain me to a chair
and force my eyes open with matchsticks to watch one of these dance shows.
Never yet seen a male person dance
(any type of dancing from ballroom to ballet, boot-scooting to break-dancing)
who did not look like a ‘poof’ !
Regardless of what they say,
I reckon the only reason men ever dance is to get into some bird’s knickers.
Isn’t that poofist??
Never heard the term “poofist”, Ruthio … could it be a Pommie-ism ?
But I know that not even in my occasional randy youthful dry-spells did I ever consider prancing around like a fairy in order to satisfy my ‘lust’ 
Neither have I I just made it up.
You’re fairyist too!
Dry spells? - you’re a meteoroligst too !!
I’m tired of it already. Seems to be litle to do with dancing - all silly sketches, whooping and screaming and a top class band that you can’t hear for the clapping and yelling.
Number 2 announced …
Ainsley Harriot , can’t stand him and his endless inane chatter , let’s hope he shuts up for once and concentrates on his feet :roll:
The only good thing about Ainsley H is his excellent cup-a-soups!
I agree with grumble, it’s not what it was. I watched the very first series and it was lovely, beautiful gowns, elegant dancing, clever footwork etc, it was lovely to watch.
Hasn’t it got a bit exhibitionist and rather sleazy now, just outrageous costumes, bare chests, and the dancing resembles gymnastics.
True - it has been influenced by the X factor mob and theres a lot of drivel to get through before the dances, best to record and run on …
Number 3 has been named - Kellie Bright who plays Linda Carter (landlady of the Queen Vic in Eastenders).
Another contestant I’m not keen on!
Number 4-some actress that was in Corrie.
The ex Coronation Street star is Georgia May Foote who played Katy Armstrong in the soap… 
Am I the only one who absolutely loves Strictly? But then I like all competition programmes. I love picking my favourites out and hoping they will win.
I personally think the proffessional dancers teach novices to dance as professional as they are in only a few weeks. Amazing.
