Angela Rippon to become oldest Strictly Come Dancing contestant aged 79

She really is so good for 79. She will do well, with those long legs !!! I can’t even walk properly, let alone dance and I’m younger than her. Good luck to her!

She is in fantastic shape, will do well. Can’t believe how good her neck is, like a young woman, mind is saggy now🙄

Bet Anton is relieved he's now on the judging panel instead these days😂

Yes I remember her also dancing with Eric and ernir

I remember Angela Rippon dancing on the Morecambe & Wise Show! She was amazing! Her legs went on forever. Good luck, Angela! 🤞

Yes you're right varian, she wore a white Christmassy dress and looked a bit like Julie Andrews to me.
1976 - I was still at school.

She did dance on the Morecombe and Wise Show. How long ago was that?

If you'd asked me before, I would have said I could have sworn she had already been on Strictly.

Good Luck to her.
She has such enthusiasm and if she has the energy to keep up with the training and the memory to get her routines down quickly, well Go Angela! 💃

I'm sure she'll do well and get a lot of votes from us Grannies.

Good on her! I remember her dancing on Morecambe and Wise.

She's one of only two whose names I know, so far, and the only one I'd recognize. 💃

Yep good luck to her. Think she will do okay.

I think she'll be brilliant!

Good for her! 💃
