Egluntyne Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 First 'celebrity' sign up - Vick Hodge. No, me neither. She is a local radio person who once interviewed Harrison Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Oh dear, hope it’s not another year of unknowns. I don’t watch any soaps or reality shows so that usually half unknown for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 As I only have access to BBC1 and 2, 99% of the peeps on this are unknown to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Kate Silverton, Dr Ranj Singh (never heard of him), Catherine Tyldesley, Scarlett Moffat are all rumoured to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Still none the wiser When I go to the hairdresser and they offer magazines I always ask for something with Mary Berry, Davina McCall, Nadia Hussein or a newsreader on the front: I don't know who anyone is anymore! Some people seem famous for being famous! (Sorry,Grumpy Old Woman mode today, obviously!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I had heard that Tom Daley was being signed up........ he's the only one I would have heard of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I guess they are running out of ‘celebrities’. Or am I getting old...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but then so am I if that's the case. I think that the definitions of 'celebrity' has also changed, and unless you keep up on the gossip mags and social media, then you're unlikely to be able to identify many. Thing is that we all have more interesting lives, and aren't tied to/impressed by the 'celebrity thing'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I thought Vicki Hodge was the little blonde in Allo Allo. How old am I? I spent last yr explaining to elderly aunt who was who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 What do we think after the opening show? What I want to know is why is Katya's husband, the ginger bloke with the beard, always sniffing around on the periphery, but never actually taken on as one of the professionals?

Grandmashazzie Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I settled down to watch it,as I love Strictly and was left unimpressed. I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t heard of any of them or just tired of it now. Will give it another go next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I managed to sit still long enough to watch it - I see that Tess still isn't co-ordinated enough to walk in heels, let alone get downstairs under her own steam. Some of the 'celeb' contestants looked quite promising (sorry, no idea of their names) Susannah Constantine - could never understand the appeal there - is almost as uncoordinated as Tess, and I don't think she will last long. Which one is Katya, Eggers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I couldn't watch, it was like a car crash in slow motion. Does Anton get paid danger money? Some good dancers already, but 3 cocky ones which I think will wear a bit thin over time.

The Dogmother Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thank Dog!!!! Susannah is off, poor woman, not really her fault... she just has no natural aptitude for dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Sad to see Anton go, but it was the best decision. Still cudo’s to the woman, I wouldn’t be able to dance any better after any amount of training. No rhythm whatsoever. I was surprised by Lee being in the dance off. Don’t know the guy, but they danced really well, I thought. BTW: didn’t we decide last year that we wouldn’t do spoilers? Although I have to say this result wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone...
