Strictly fans

I think Lesley Joseph will last a few weeks. She seems pretty fit and I'm guessing she's been to stage school which usually involves dance.

The first one out of the door will be either Ed Balls or Lesley Joseph. The winner will be the 18 year old gymnast Claudia-sorted. Any bets?

a gawky flat footed tomboy who couldn't dance and wouldn't be seen dead near anything sparkly...... You too, merlot? I also like strictly!

Oh , she is such a great dancer , pity to waste such talent

Orla has a new job Anniebach saw her online yesterday cleaning cars with her baps out, and modelling Ann summers gear today, pity I thought she was a great dancer

I will miss Orla

Me too. I follow Marion Keyes on Twitter and she's daft about the programme. She's declared that everyone is entitled to up to 3 'agins' (dancers you don't like!). Interesting concept

DH always says, 'I don't know why you like Strictly so much. By your own admission you were a gawky, flat footed tomboy who couldn't dance and would be seen dead near anything sparkly!'

Yep! That's exactly why I LOVE IT.

I recognise seven of them which is a first for me.

Love Strictly.

Well I could name 7 of them and have heard of most of the rest.
I don't watch the programme until the last three weeks or so, when those left can actually dance

Until I saw Greg Rutherford on the One Show last night, I had no idea how tall he was. He has a lovely smile.

I can recognise seven of the celebs which I think is more than I could recognise last year. If I was an avid soap-watcher, I suppose more of them would be familiar.

Here they are

Apparently the launch show is on Sat 3rd September. I have never heard of some of them either but looking forward to seeing Kim from 'Enders and Will Young particularly. Will be interesting seeing what Ed Balls is like and whether or not I overcome my loathing of the man for what he did to the economy. Oh sorry, that last bit is on the wrong thread.

When is the "pairing up" show, does anyone know?

Not heard of a lot of them but I expect we will soon get to know them. Will Anton get Lesley Joseph do you think only she has said she'd like Kevin Clifford as her partner!
