Also just additionally: Ore Oduba is standing in for Steve Wright on Radio 2 all week, and had Joanne Clifton on as one of his guests today, where he confirmed they will be returning to the launch show for one last dance - and have heavily hinted it'll be one they did in the final last year! If they do their Jive to Bruno Mars again I will cartwheel with excitement :D

Debbie McGee and Johnnie Peacock also confirmed and...yeah. How funny would it be if Aston and Alexandra wound up in the final? X Factor 2008 all over again!

The paralympian? If so then i'm SO IN.

It's not the strongest line-up of names but super excited for Alexandra as I was for Ruth's announcement :wub:
I feel that this series is certainly ticking the diversity boxes - it's also the first year where I at least vaguely know all of the contestants. Looking forward to it hugely! Haven't decided who I'm rooting for yet.
The "performers" (singers / actors, so I'm thinking Alexandra, Mollie, Aston, Davood, Gemma, Chizzy, Joe, Brian) usually have an advantage when it comes to dancing - some of them will have had previous experience of choreography, playing characters etc. It'll be interesting to see whether this plays out in the series or not!

The dances and songs for week 1 have been announced: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/strictlycomedan...82-fd7a44d509e4

 

Got to say I'm surprised to see both the Paso and Foxtrot coming out this early in the series. Should be an interesting first show by all accounts!

 

Also the launch show was brilliant last week. They have got the pairings so right this year. The Brucie tribute was very moving mind. I had actual Shirley Ballas read my live blog I did for it as well - she Tweeted me to say so! Can't get higher praise than that. It's all here if you missed it: http://wp.me/p4UO9N-pG
