Egluntyne Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The line up so far: Rev Richard Coles. Love him Mollie King. No, me neither. David Ghadami Ruth Langsford. What's the betting that she is teamed with Anton - if he is still in it. Gemma Atkinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No, sorry, know none of those! We don't follow Strictly or any other 'celebrity' things anyway but I am always slightly embarrassed when the line ups for things like that, Big Brother and that jungle thing are announced and I know no one! OH says maybe we should get out more but I think its prob a matter of staying in more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Had to google a couple of those, never heard of Gemma Atkinson or David Ghadami, and am none the wiser after googling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Only one I know is Ruth Langsford if she is married to Eamon Holmes. I too will have to goggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought that was Bonnie Langford....her of the flowing very curly locks. I am SO out of date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Reverend Coles is nice he does Saturday live on Radio 4. I usually don't know who half of the contestants are but you get to know them and usually end up liking the ones that you didn't expect to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rev Richard Coles (formerly of Communards) is the only one I know. He'll be good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rev Richard Coles (formerly of Communards) is the only one I know. He'll be good fun.

Charlottechicken Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Wonder if they will make him dance to one of his own songs?! Celeb no 6 is someone called Joe McFadden, I'm none the wiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Simon Rimmer has been around as a TV chef for years. Seems like a nice guy soft scouse accent. Presents Sunday Brunch on Channel 4 each week used to be on BBC2 for years. Like I have said before it really wouldn't matter if they were all people off the street like Bake Off etc does because you soon decide who you like and who you don't and who has talent and who doesn't. I almost wish that they did it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Does anyone know when Strictly starts? My mom is Strictly fan and is looking forward, but can't seem to find when it starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I know that the launch show is recorded on the 5th September so it will be a few days after that I would think probably the Friday or Saturday night after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Haha! I love a bit of Strictly. I guess it helps if you know who these "celebrities" are though. I'm struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Me too... the usual mix of some very good dancers, some with promise and others with no hope at all. Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Loved it. Some real surprises and I like the new judge - she gives some interesting technical advice. Can't take to Mollie Wotsherface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
