Eastender to sign up for Strictly.
 

Bobby Brazier, aged 20. Son of Jade Goody.

A show source said: “Bobby is the dream signing for Strictly — he’s a young heart-throb who comes with a huge fanbase.

“He also has a very personal backstory and there’s so much love out there for Jade.

“There’s a few last-minute details to sort but the talks are in final stages.”

Bobby, born to Jade and TV star Jeff Brazier, first started work as a model but has since turned to acting.

I think he would be brilliant!

Good luck to him.

personal backstory and the Jade Goody sobstory: the next predictable winner :sleep:

doesn't need much luck, doesn't have to rehearse either as he will obviously get the votes week by week no matter what his dancing skills are like


in this mediocre british version


unlike in Germany where they all have to work hard and give their 110% in training week by week, getting challenged to the outer limits too as weeks go on (not in dull strictly every time the same weeks over and over, wonder if strictly is even live?)


also the duffers in Germany can become really better middle of the road beginner dancers, those pro dancers are absolutely MEGA GEIL



i'm more of a lets dance fan nowadays than strictly, my own favourites tend to be in one line with most of the other german viewers tastes

not to forget the showdances which are snoozefests on strictly compared to on lets dance where they are complete masterpieces usually with a movie theme and medley of music choices


and the Magic Moments week, also something strictly doesn't have (no stupid BBC chooses to derail each week with couples choices nonsenses) where we have one themed week for all of that and then more a mashup of dance styles (out of 10 dances or even outside that such as ballet, contemporary, jazz, lindy hop)


---------
if Bobby was on lets dance, i think they would've paired him with the cutest of females, Christina Luft (although then there is a chance for the curse to happen and tbh Luca Hanni & Christina Luft are one of their media hype sensation couples besides Rebecca Mir & Massimo Sinato, germany's hollywood-like dream couple)

He could be given the winner's journey.

It depends on what type of theme the production goes for.

Heart throb? Each to their own but I don’t find him that attractive

here's me hoping for a older bloke in a same-sex partnership, to try and appeal to the older viewers some more that way


i'm pretty sure Sir Ian McKellen would be very open to that, or at a slightly lesser famous but still pretty well known scale, Simon Callow i've seen mentioned over on DS's strictly rumour/wishlists topic, whom also would be in for a same-sex partnership + he had recently said apparently he wants to do more things which includes dancing at his current age



-------
i'll do one shout of a decent acting name myself, how about Jack Davenport? (he's known for being in Pirates of the Caribbean, FlashForward and also Snow Patrol's music video for Called Out in the Dark where he lipsyncs to the songs lyrics) don't think we've had someone from Pirates fame before on the show either, and besides the lead 3, you've got plenty of other relatively B-stars to go through and consider
