Strictly Come Dancing 2015

I did Scottish Country Dancing at school. It doesn't mean I'd be any good at ballroom or Latin. Though she can presumably keep time.

Peter Andre! Have you heard them on Mock the Week about him? Very funny.

I do too kitty. Strikes me as a loving Dad and he is very handsome!

I like Peter Andre!

Sorry Ana I didn't mean to ignore you. My excuse is that I already knew he was taking part and posted about it on Monday, when the BBC slipped up on the website. One minute he was announced as the next celeb with his 'Strictly' photo and blurb, the next he was gone. So I wasn't surprised at today's announcement. I should have acknowledged your post though, sorry.

Sorry, had a ratbag moment there...

Are my posts invisible now?

I said Peter André is the next one!!!

chelseababy Gok Wan and Helen George (Trixie) are strongly rumoured, especially Helen. Next announcement is tomorrow on the Steve Wright show between 2-5pm on R2.

I don't mind the drip feed anymore. Lots of chance for gossipy speculation!

Oh dear - ghastly memories of New Year's Eve and The White Heather Club on the TV! Although I must confess I rather liked Jimy Shand's band - they used to produce a splendid relaxed 'bounce'...

Could be giving away my Caledonian originas here but Scottish country dancing and hopeless dancers don't normally go <upcoming pun warning> hand in hand! Unless obviously it's a wedding and everyone's been imbibing the water of life when some brave or insane soul suggests Strip the Willow ... Or it's Hogmanay in Edinburgh www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq9ryg0A4uY
Wonder if the pros'd give it a go on Strictly??

Peter André's the latest to sign up!

Any opposite sex to inflame the male there?!

Why don't they just give out the list of competitors? I'll have lost interest by the time they drip feed the last name. I suppose it all stems from the manufactured 'tension-building' delays in announcing who's going through to the next round. Drives me mad. #patienceonamonument

I hear there's Gok Wan and the actor who plays Trixie in Call the Midwife.

We need some younger names now.

She was saying on Breakfast TV that she's a hopeless dancer and has only ever done Scottish country dancing time will tell.

I like Carol, will be amusing to see her switch from the cheery , sunny presenter into a smouldering seductress

daffydil I think this is the first year for ages Vince Cable hasn't been mentioned on the rumour mill - so he might be on!

KatyK

Carol will be a big favourite me thinks!

A weird thing happened yesterday on the BBC site. Peter Andre was announced as the 6th celeb, but within about 10 minutes the page was withdrawn and Katie Derham was showing again. So at some point Peter will be announced as taking part.

No pun intended there as she is a weather girl!

I don't watch Strictly but Carol Kirkwood comes across as such a sunny character.

DH will be watching now, Carol is his favourite

She's great. Never stops smiling.

Lovely Carol she will be good fun.

I agree, nina she is good fun.

Carol Kirkwood, weather forecaster has just been announced as a contestant
I like her.
