Posted July 28, 20177 yr The Saturdays’ Mollie King becomes latest celebrity to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing with BBC bosses hoping the singer will bring sex appeal THE Saturdays’ star Mollie King will bring Saturday night glamour after signing for the new series of Strictly. Bosses hope the 30-year-old singer adds the same sex appeal as model Daisy Lowe last year. A show insider revealed: “Mollie is all signed up and will be this year’s Strictly babe. “She’s a talented performer because of all her experience with The Saturdays and her solo career — so she’s someone who is very likely to make it to the final rounds. “Producers loved the sex appeal and performance skills of Daisy last year and believe Mollie offers the same. “She’s also very well connected and has a lot of celebrity friends who will attend filming each week.” Mollie may also be looking for love on the show — and avoiding the Strictly curse. She is single having previously dated supermodel David Gandy. The London-born beauty is the second Saturdays star to go the BBC1 dance show. Frankie Bridge was runner-up in 2014 — the year the band agreed to take a break from recording. Mollie is signed to Island Records and a source said: “Her solo career is still very much a priority. She is working on new music and will continue to release and perform alongside her Strictly commitments.” The X Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke, 28, is also set to take to the dancefloor following a successful spell on the West End stage. This will be huge for Mollie and (hopefully) her solo career! Edited July 28, 20177 yr by (Zach)
July 29, 20177 yr Fantastic platform to get some more exposure, especially with them being the lead for ratings over X-Factor in recent years.
July 29, 20177 yr Wow We could actually get a decent sized album sales if she releases and promotes on the show!
July 29, 20177 yr Wow We could actually get a decent sized album sales if she releases and promotes on the show! It'll never happen given how other artists have fared/how The Sats fared but I'd love for her to at least reach 60,000 sales for an album but it'll end up being not even close to 20,000 :(
July 29, 20177 yr !!!!!!!!!! I can't see her being as good as Frankie, but she will definitely be better than Rochelle :lol:
July 29, 20177 yr !!!!!!!!!! I can't see her being as good as Frankie, but she will definitely be better than Rochelle :lol: Is it bad I forgot Rochelle had been on the show? :rofl: I think she'll fare pretty decently and shes very likeable so hopefully the public get behind her!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor got her biggest album for years doing the show in 2013. Likewise McFly had a big turnaround in fortunes after Harry Judd won in 2011. Great news for Mollie if its true! I could see her doing well on the show - I'll certainly vote for her! Edited July 29, 20177 yr by ThePensmith
July 30, 20177 yr Not entirely true. Sophie Ellis-Bextor got her biggest album for years doing the show in 2013. Likewise McFly had a big turnaround in fortunes after Harry Judd won in 2011. Great news for Mollie if its true! I could see her doing well on the show - I'll certainly vote for her! Arguably they were bigger acts than Mollie was/is at the time they were going on the show. The Sats fanbase has dwindled heavily since GH so it'll only be core fans who buy any music (similar to Una, although she had R2 support) and the type of music she's going for probably won't appeal to the public all that much either.
July 31, 20177 yr Omg mess, she's gonna flop on this show lmao We're chatting about Mollie here Tim let's not reference Mrs Humes xo "hoping to bring sex appeal"? they didn't sign Una though.. :kink: :kink: etc... Una would be incredible - the motormouth would be good for asking and begging for votes!
August 1, 20177 yr Is it bad I forgot Rochelle had been on the show? :rofl: I think she'll fare pretty decently and shes very likeable so hopefully the public get behind her! Perhaps not as bad as the author of the article forgetting.
August 1, 20177 yr You can just tell she's going to do a BRITNEY routine, hopefully she does a SATS routine though, I'm guessing the 'What About Us' microphone routine x
August 2, 20177 yr Author I just hope she can make her hands look less awkward than they were in the Sats performances :lol:
August 2, 20177 yr You can try your hardest and still flop at something :kink: Makes all for good television then :kink: Perhaps not as bad as the author of the article forgetting. I suppose it was just a seasonal special so easy to forget about. lol good luck :lol: Totto!!!!! Come back and post here more :wub: You can just tell she's going to do a BRITNEY routine, hopefully she does a SATS routine though, I'm guessing the 'What About Us' microphone routine x Una should perform Battlelines and Mollie can dance to it, two promo for the price of one xo I just hope she can make her hands look less awkward than they were in the Sats performances :lol: Or as Danni Minogue calls it, a puppet show :lol:
August 4, 20177 yr Looking at her Instagram stories today it would appear she is at a 'secret' photoshoot for you know what!
