Ricki Lake signs up
 

The Sun are reporting she has signed up for the Celeb series.

They also said it will happen next year

She just done the Masked Singer in the US and still has a great voice

They said TMS UK will happen next year, XFactor this year

I just have zero interest in a celebrity series of X Factor

I hoped they’d quietly drop it and do a normal series

Also Gemma Collins was at Syco HQ yesterday so she’s probably in too

Tbh I think the reason why it was axed was because they couldn't find any talent in the few auditions they did

This sounds like ITV's 'Reborn in the USA' from 2003 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reborn_in_the_USA

or the other ITV show 'Hit Me, Baby, One More Time' from 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Me...ime_(TV_series)

Ricki would for sure be a ''ringer'' for celeb x factor, speaking in strictly terms where a experienced dancer there is called a ringer, and ricki for sure has singing experience

but i guess we need few of those for quality performances and not just novelty beginners otherwise quality would be bad in first weeks

A lot of the good talent who make it through at the judges auditions are actually scouted by producers the shows producers do their own auditions where they look on YouTube , find buskers and go open mic nights etc then ask people to compete on the show

Brendan Cole is in talks

I think all of them should ideally have some sort of singing experience or are at least very good at it, otherwise it would just be ****. Celebs who can sing but are best known as something else and who are aspiring singers for a record deal.

Vinnie jones would be good, have a feeling he'll be on in fact.

Megan Mckenna might do it

Maybe but probs not if Gemma collins is doing it, I imagine they'd go for the bigger name over the better singer tbh

Duo for the drams, GC threatens to quit in week 3 after screeching over Meghan in week 2s live performance and they get to compete separately going forward.
