Posted September 1, 20204 yr First contestants announced! Caroline Quentin (iconic), NFL pundit for the BBC Jason Bell and The Wanted's Max George! Good 3 so far I think, particularly Max for me
September 1, 20204 yr Max may be the most natural dancer of those 3 BUT I don’t think he’s as unassuming as what Jay was.
September 2, 20204 yr Max often comes across as up himself, maybe we will see another side on strictly but if not his public votes may suffer.
September 2, 20204 yr 3 more confirmed - GMB presenter Ranvir Singh - Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo - Boxer Nicola Adams OBE (which will be the first same sex pairing!!)
September 2, 20204 yr Amazing that every single time for every single reality show for every single reveal, you get people who think they’re being really original and ask ‘who?’, ‘where are the real celebrities?’ and ‘I thought this was celebrities!!!’ as if all previous years have had massive A-list stars and they don’t ask the same questions themselves each and every time
September 2, 20204 yr I think I actually know all of these names so far :o I met Ranvir Singh in a lift once :lol:
September 2, 20204 yr Think it's a good line-up names wise so far, except that Jason Bell bloke I've no idea :lol: Excited to see the same-sex pairiting with Nicola, she seems lovely on everything I've seen her on so far. Union Jack flag Twitter are ofc foaming at the mouth at the mere IDEA, I'm sure the BBC are in panic mode that Roger, 56 from Stockport won't be watching this year :rolleyes:
September 2, 20204 yr Author Yeah the reaction to Nicola has been disappointing but not surprising unfortunately :( I wish her all the best, because I know I certainly couldn't deal with that sort of abuse
September 2, 20204 yr Think it's a good line-up names wise so far, except that Jason Bell bloke I've no idea :lol: Excited to see the same-sex pairiting with Nicola, she seems lovely on everything I've seen her on so far. Union Jack flag Twitter are ofc foaming at the mouth at the mere IDEA, I'm sure the BBC are in panic mode that Roger, 56 from Stockport won't be watching this year :rolleyes: Nearly all these people don't have themselves as their profile picture and have moulded their personality to right-wing politics only. Bizarre. Good line-up so far! I'm a big fan of Clara so I'm hoping she can stay longer than Adele Roberts did on I'm A Celebrity. Also glad there'll be a same-sex pairing for Nicola and it'll be a female one this time! I've been watching a Netflix documentary series on Extraordinary Houses with Caroline Quentin co-hosting and she seems like she'll be a right laugh although I'm not sure on her dancing ability.
September 2, 20204 yr I’d love for Jamie Laing to get another shot at Strictly, he was robbed way too early last year and really deserves a chance Also going off rumours online I’ve seen Alex Kingston’s name thrown about which I would ADORE more than anything, but again that’s only rumours and there’s plenty of those to go about
September 2, 20204 yr It says a lot that the reaction to Nicola hasn't even been as bad as I expected! Hopefully the show just treats them as any other couple and it doesn't go the way of H on Dancing On Ice. Max George feels like he should've done it in 2014, but it's not a bad line-up so far otherwise
September 2, 20204 yr Nicola comes across well so I hope she does well on the show maybe an Alex Scott like journey? Who knows. What let H down on DOI in my opinion was that every week in his VT he kept hammering on about the same sex element and how they shouldn’t be treated differently that’s what ended up in them leaving early in my opinion he kept drawing attention to it himself more than what anyone else did and it felt annoying. It was as though he wanted to prove that point more than just enjoy the experience and Matt looked as though he couldn’t stand him anyways :lol: I wonder if we’re gonna get a soap star announcement soon, like someone from EastEnders? I’d like to see Jessica Plummer do it if they were or her onscreen brother Zak Morris. I do think if anyone was to do it though it could be Maisie Smith but she’s already done a special for it but she’s probably the most high profile star from the show who’s likely to do it :lol: They’re announcing two people on This Morning tomorrow though!
September 2, 20204 yr I hope they cast Mark Feehily dancing with a man and Juno Dawson to complete the whole 'pissing off the gammons' set!
September 2, 20204 yr The Sun are saying the following are confirmed Maisie Smith (Tiffany from EastEnders) Jacqui Smith (Labour politician/first female Home Secretary) JJ Chalmers (Invictus Games medallist/TV presenter) A final contestant, believed to be somebody from YouTube, will be unveiled in the next 24 hours. lineup: Bill Bailey Caroline Quentin Clara Amfo Jacqui Smith Jamie Laing Jason Bell JJ Chalmers Maisie Smith Max George Nicola Adams Ranvir Singh Edited September 2, 20204 yr by Jαsє
September 2, 20204 yr Author Seems like a strong lineup overall if that's true! Can't wait for Bill Bailey in particular
September 2, 20204 yr Think it's a good line-up names wise so far, except that Jason Bell bloke I've no idea :lol: Excited to see the same-sex pairiting with Nicola, she seems lovely on everything I've seen her on so far. Union Jack flag Twitter are ofc foaming at the mouth at the mere IDEA, I'm sure the BBC are in panic mode that Roger, 56 from Stockport won't be watching this year :rolleyes: I know Jason but oh my bc he has a child with Nadine Coyle :lol: i think most of this site will only know him through that. Edit: that should say only ^ :lol: :cry:
