[Kizzy]

Great I like her! She was in Leeds on sunday and I missed it.

[BBfanUSA]

Wait why would Teri Hatcher do the British version? There's an American version that would probably take her.

I don't know tbh she would be a real coup for DWTS. Come to think of it the only American we've had on ours in 10 years is Michelle Williams from Destinys Child. And she wasn't massively popular :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

She's quite hot in a weird way. Will Probs casually watch

Also saw it's going back to blackpool Permanently.. Probably something to do with being closer to Media City

Get ready for the onslaught of awful jokes from Bruce Forsyth... I like Sophie, I hope this does something for her career.

[Marc]

Joe has won it

Heard Jade Ewen might be on it

I didn't know we had a thread on this.

I HAVE BEEN SO ****ING EXCITED FOR DAYS SINCE I HEARD THIS RUMOUR, OMG YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.. #myfirstcrush

I can't.. I WILL VOTE HER LIKE 80 TIMES A WEEK.

She has an album out during her run on Strictly, cheeky plug a couple of times a week to an audience of 9million viewers and she might have a #1

Yeah we've had two brits that I can think of. Mel B and more recently Katherine Jenkins. Mel B made it to a Semi and Katherine Finished Second in her season.
