Posted June 10, 20241 yr This year's series of Strictly marks 20 years of the show! Thought I'd create a thread (never too early x) as we have some concrete news today: Giovanni won't be returning as a professional dancer after 9 years on the show. On the other hand - Amy is returning after taking time out previously while undergoing treatment for breast cancer! All other professional dancers from last year will return, including Michelle Tsiakkas, who hasn't had a celeb partner yet. Anton, Craig, Motsi and Shirley will all be judging again too.
June 10, 20241 yr I assume we'll see some Olympians potentially this year (or will it be too soon after the games?)
June 10, 20241 yr I’m predicting an EE actor (Max Bowden?), a retired footballer (Lucy Daly?), some singers (Olly Alexander, Heidi Range?) and a presenter - maybe Alexander Armstrong if he hasn’t already done it.
June 10, 20241 yr Shame about Gio! Nice to have Amy back... i'm guessing she is going to get a mega-ringer
June 10, 20241 yr I’m predicting an EE actor (Max Bowden?), a retired footballer (Lucy Daly?), some singers (Olly Alexander, Heidi Range?) and a presenter - maybe Alexander Armstrong if he hasn’t already done it. I don't know... wasn't he sacked from EE? The last 2 years have been EE males too; so we're probably due one of the women doing it; Harriet Thorpe :lol:
June 10, 20241 yr Praying this is the year Shona McGarty does it :cheeseblock: Can't believe Strictly season is just around the corner. Where the hell has this year gone? :mellow:
June 10, 20241 yr The Sun have "confirmed" Chris McCausland (Comedian) Dave Fishwick (Entrepreneur/TV personality) Toyah Willcox (80's singing icon) They're also saying they want Nicola Roberts after she did the Christmas special a couple of years back.

What was he sacked for out of interest? Praying this is the year Shona McGarty does it :cheeseblock: Can't believe Strictly season is just around the corner. Where the hell has this year gone? :mellow: Oh yes Whitney is a good shout!

Who who and who? The last one would be great though!
July 4, 20241 yr Celebrities due to start being announced soon supposedly!! Hopefully some good names this year and no Amanda TERFingtons x
July 14, 2024Jul 14 Yikes at what's coming out now about Graziano, who has been dropped from the show too. Seems there's a bit of a picture forming of a culture behind the scenes where the pros just have zero respect for the women they're training.
August 5, 2024Aug 5 First couple of names announced today: JB Gill from JLS and the stand up comedian Chris McCausland.
August 8, 2024Aug 8 He has just confirmed on Lorraine that he's doing it! Also confirmed: - Toyah Willcox (80s pop icon, Brum / Teletubbies narrator, actress and presenter) - Wynne Evans (the GoCompare dude) - Pete Wicks (TOWIE) - Sarah Hadland (Stevie in Miranda) - Tasha Ghouri (Love Island) - Dr Punam Krishnan (BBC Morning Live)
August 8, 2024Aug 8 Sarah Hadland, this series just got iconic :cheeseblock: I know right! What-I-call such fun 😁
