" Strictly" Line-up!!

I had never heard ofRichard Coles - thanks for the info. Alima - I used to love the Communards. When I saw his photo I thought he was the priest son of Mrs Brown in Mrs Brown's Boys

The only person to date that I have heard of is Ruth from This Morning. I do watch and enjoy the show from week 1 to the bitter end even although I have no idea who most of the folk are. Like others, I am more familiar with the dancers names.

He's very funny.

I love him.

The Reverend Richard Coles has been announced today. He used to be in The Communards in the 80s and now sometimes pops up on programmes like HIGNFY. He is very funny on that. Have no idea if he can dance, will have to have a look at some Communards stuff on You Tube. He is in his 50s, bit too young for this year's old duffer?

Gemma Atkinson was in Emmerdale Alima

So Google tells me, no, I hadn't a clue either.
Davood Ghadami is Kush, I didn't know that either.

Why, oh why, do people love to put down "Strictly" when I know for a fact that many people really love it. It's quite simple, you know - If you don't like it then don't watch it!

I think the programme has done it's time - as have some of the other competitive ones. Where's originality gone?

Every year I mutter, 'Who are these people?' until the old duffer is named.

Anyone know who it is this year?

Anyone know who Gemma Atkinson is?

Kush dosen't make me swoon but I'd like to see him dance. He is fit in the old fashion sence of the word.

Lush kush!!

Freudian slip?

Hahaha, meant Kush

Lush is in Eastenders, have to agree with others, yum!

Who's Kush? I expect I'll be asking who several of the celeb's are but as DGD is often here on Sat evening I'll take an interest.

Kush? I just don't see the attraction somehow. You are most welcome to him ladies!

Definite nina but I saw him first!!

Definitely worth watching for Kush! Don't know either of the other two named so far.

Is that wishful thinking kitty or fact ?
I'd like to see that too

I've heard several celebs say they have been asked but turned it down paddyann it's not your average TV job is it.
I think they have to take who they can get to some extent.

Kush!!!!!!

It will be the usual a couple of sports people, a few C list soap actors, a newsreader, a couple of older actors who haven't been on TV in a while and a complete Joker. I would like to see Matt Le Blanc and Joanna Lumley not much chance of that though.

I don't really care who's on it. I might watch a few proggrammes, probaby nearer the end.

Every year I say I am going to watch it from the beginning but have never done it yet.
I like Ruth she is up for anything but she does not have lots of self confidence so I don't think she will relax enough to enjoy it or be very good at the moves.
