[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

on the other hand, i expect perfection from Aston from week 1, due to his previous dance experience :smug:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

on the other hand, i expect perfection from Aston from week 1, due to his previous dance experience :smug:

He still has too learn all the different dances. But he will be awesome.

[Nicky91]

He still has too learn all the different dances. But he will be awesome.

don't worry, celebs with previous dance experience Always nail the different and difficult dances, remember Pixie Lott, Denise Van Outen, Kellie Bright

;)

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I think he will get Chloe, because he's so short? They could be great dancing together.

[Nicky91]

I think he will get Chloe, because he's so short? They could be great dancing together.

okay, personality wise i won't be paying that much attention to him i guess ;)


i rather prefer the celebs without previous dance experience, i loved Jeremy Vine, Ed Balls in previous strictly years


and so far from the ladies i only want Ruth to do well :)

[RileyH]

[Braden]

apparently Susan Calman has been announced as celeb number 9, but no one seems to care about her doing strictly :joker: :joker:

Aw, I really like her. I remember she used to appear on BB11's Big Brother's Big Mouth sometimes—I found her quite funny, but yeah, she's not exactly well-known :p

[Nicky91]

no more celeb reveals, so we'll have nine celebs this year, LMAO :laugh2:

[Lewismacfarlane]

The next anouncment is on radio 2 this afternoon

[Nicky91]

The next anouncment is on radio 2 this afternoon

on radio 2, we're getting Alexandra Burke then ;)

[Nicky91]

RIP to our strictly legend Sir Bruce Forsyth :(

[Nicky91]

when is the next celeb reveal :mad:

[Nicky91]

Charlotte Hawkins, well Strictly has become so dull that they have to sign non celebs these days :joker:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

on radio 2, we're getting Alexandra Burke then ;)

She would be amazing!

[Black Dagger]

Charlotte Hawkins, well Strictly has become so dull that they have to sign non celebs these days :joker:

She's on television every morning :bored:

[Nicky91]

She's on television every morning :bored:

:umm2: don't know her then

[Black Dagger]

And. She's not a non celeb. And the show can't be that dull wjen you are going to spend the next 3 months crying over it and wanting your favourite out every week.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Nicky you cant make an Official thread on this and then trash talk it the whole time

I think you should resign as the host of this thread and let Black Dagger take up the reins as he is a faithful fan?

[Black Dagger]

:clap1:

[Denver]

I the biggest fan of strictly on this forum than you

[Nicky91]

Nicky you cant make an Official thread on this and then trash talk it the whole time

I think you should resign as the host of this thread and let Black Dagger take up the reins as he is a faithful fan?

no i won't, i am a strictly fan but i am entitled to my own opinion ;)

[Christmas Dynasnow]

no i won't, i am a strictly fan but i am entitled to my own opinion ;)

ok :)

but try and be more consistent this season

[RileyH]

line up seems dire so far, apart from Mollie & Ruth :love:

and I don't want no ringas to take over

my opinion hasn't changed as of yet x

[Nicky91]

ok :)

but try and be more consistent this season

yep i will, and first year for me i'm not liking the ''good looking girls'' for a first impression


from first impression so far: Chizzy, Simon, Richard, Joe, Davood are my current faves, and i like Ruth

[Braden]

Chizzy is stunning, though.

[Nicky91]

Chizzy is stunning, though.

:flutter:

[Nicky91]

so with our cast confirmed, faves on first impressions anyone


mine: Alexandra Burke, Chizzy, Simon Rimmer, Brian Conley, Richard Coles, Ruth Langsford, Jonnie Peacock, Davood Ghadami

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Aston definitely. I get the feeling he could be amazing..

[Nicky91]

Aston definitely. I get the feeling he could be amazing..

he'll do great, but i get the feeling i will be not quite interested in him this year


but Jonnie looks hot as well Nessa :hee:

[Time to Sleigh]

Aaahhhh yes alexandra is doing it woooo

I know who I will be supporting

[Nicky91]

Aaahhhh yes alexandra is doing it woooo

I know who I will be supporting

:flutter: our soul diva doing strictly

[Nicky91]

so, so far i like Jonnie, Alexandra, Simon, Ruth, Debbie, Davood, Joe

[Ross.]

Alexandra is the only one who matters

[Christmas Dynasnow]

That flop will stink the whole show out

[Ross.]

Charlotte Hawkins, well Strictly has become so dull that they have to sign non celebs these days :joker:

Don't you dare come for Charlotte like this

[Ross.]

That flop will stink the whole show out

I assume this is about Aston

[Braden]

I think Alexandra will end up in the bottom 2 more than once, but will probably make the final.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

I assume this is about Aston

it covers both the talent show flops, yes

[Ross.]

I miss Jamelia and her escape from elimination every week :love:

[Nicky91]

Don't you dare come for Charlotte like this

sorry Ross :(


i just don't like her that much, same is for Gemma



i like celebs with personality :hee:

[Braden]

I miss Jamelia and her escape from elimination every week :love:

As well as Michelle Williams and Heather Small :love:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Aston and Chloe would be fabulous together! :dance:

[Nicky91]

i so cannot wait for strictly now, my number 1 show for Saturday night :D

[Black Dagger]

sorry Ross :(


i just don't like her that much, same is for Gemma



i like celebs with personality :hee:

Yet you loved Daisy Lowe

[Nicky91]

Yet you loved Daisy Lowe

who wouldn't, she's gorgeous :love:

[girlfighter1992]

Loving this years line up especially Aston, Jonnie, Davood and Mollie. Before the celebrities are paired up with the pros this is how I think this year will go:
1 Jonnie Peacock
2 Alexandra Burke / Mollie King
3 Joe McFadden
4 Gemma Atkinson
5 Ruth Langsford
6 Aston Merrygold
7 Davood Ghadami
8 Charlotte Hawkins
9 Debbie McGee
10 Brian Conley
11. Chizzy Akudolu
12. Susan Calman
13. Rev. Richard Coles
14. Simon Rimmer

[RileyH]

I'm doubting whether to watch it this year, there's no one from the line up who I really like

[Nicky91]

Saturday at 19.00 the launch show

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Saturday at 19.00 the launch show

Can't wait to see who Aston is paired up with. Jeanette would be good. Or Chloe. Oti would be brilliant!

[Nicky91]

Can't wait to see who Aston is paired up with. Jeanette would be good. Or Chloe. Oti would be brilliant!

Simon with Dianne or Chloe hopefully, cause i think he has potential to do really well, i also find him looking a bit similar to Robin Windsor :D


but i think i am gonna go for the novelty, entertainment factor who i will support this year

[Jase.]

Really want Davood to be partnered with Oti :love:

[Nicky91]

Really want Davood to be partnered with Oti :love:

i think Davood will get Karen, she needs a good partner after Will Young



but we have 2 major musical performances Saturday, Shania Twain and Rita Ora


and a dedication remembrance to Sir Brucie

[Lewismacfarlane]

I know who's paired up with who

[Morgan.]

I know who's paired up with who

Pop it in a spoiler tag and tell us then ;)

[Nicky91]

I know who's paired up with who

don't tell us :fist:

[Morgan.]

don't tell us :fist:

It's fine if he puts it in a spoiler tag, then you can choose to look or not.

[Nicky91]

It's fine if he puts it in a spoiler tag, then you can choose to look or not.

no then i'll be tempted ;)

[Lewismacfarlane]

I'm not posting on here Blurryface I could pm you the pairings if you want

[Morgan.]

I'm not posting on here Blurryface I could pm you the pairings if you want

I PMd you already :suspect:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm not posting on here Blurryface I could pm you the pairings if you want

Pm please! :amazed:

[Nicky91]

ugh why do you all want spoilers, it could ruin Saturday night launch show :(

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

ugh why do you all want spoilers, it could ruin Saturday night launch show :(

I just want to know who Aston is paired up with :laugh:

[Morgan.]

ugh why do you all want spoilers, it could ruin Saturday night launch show :(

I'll still watch regardless

[Nicky91]

I just want to know who Aston is paired up with :laugh:

yes okay i understand, you might be nervous :)

I'll still watch regardless

:flutter:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

yes okay i understand, you might be nervous :)



:flutter:

I'm sure he will be fabulous. He can dance already.

[Nicky91]

but any first elimination predictions

i'd still say Susan, cause it will look pretty awkward with any of the male pro dancers

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

but any first elimination predictions

i'd still say Susan, cause it will look pretty awkward with any of the male pro dancers

Don't think anyone leaves on the first week.

[Nicky91]

Don't think anyone leaves on the first week.

okay then second week, but i already don't think Susan might be doing well, the height difference with every male pro dancer is so enormous, only one i can think of her dance partner is AJ


and AJ might be her best chance at going further than the first 4 weeks maybe


Chizzy is also someone i can't see doing well with the votes, similar Melvin Odoom scenario here, the black voting public sorry if i'm racist here, but Alexandra and Aston might steal away her votes, similar last year where Melvin had competition from Tameka and Ore



i can see Brian, Simon doing well with the public cause they seem likeable guys, and voting public loves the genuinely likeable celebs, as we've seen with Ed Balls last year or Jeremy Vine, they love rooting for a people's champion

[Morgan.]

I have my two favourite pairings already :fan:

[Nicky91]

ugh don't tease me Morgan :nono:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I have my two favourite pairings already :fan:

Can you tell me by pm who Aston is paired up with? Please ?

[Nicky91]

pm not dm :fan:

[Nicky91]

bumping this already for tonight :D

[Time to Sleigh]

Aaahhh excited but I already know the pairs so it kind of ruins it for me but I find it out every year before the show so I never learn. My queen Alexandra needs to smash it

[Denver]

So perched for King Jonnie and Queen Oti winning

[Nicky91]

Aaahhh excited but I already know the pairs so it kind of ruins it for me but I find it out every year before the show so I never learn. My queen Alexandra needs to smash it

even if you know it, you can still watch it for fun but also to get to know some of the celebs you didn't quite know yet

So perched for King Jonnie and Queen Oti winning

ugh Adam don't spoil it :mad:

[Braden]

I'm quite excited to see who's paired with who. Also, are they performing the tribute to Bruce tonight?

[Braden]

Susan Calman has strongly defended her decision as an openly gay woman to dance with a male professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Scottish comedian and writer has faced criticism on social media for taking part in the show - because it does not have same-sex dancing couples.

Calman said the criticism had offended her, adding: "No one can say I haven't stood up for my community."

It is understood show bosses have not ruled out same-sex couples in future.
'I have protested, I have fought'

Calman is one of 15 celebrities taking to the dance floor on the BBC One contest.

The stars will find out who their professional partners are in the launch show, broadcast on Saturday night.

The 42-year-old said she was "absolutely not disappointed" that she would not be paired with a woman and that it was her decision to dance with a man.

She said: "I think politically, there's nothing more powerful than having an openly gay woman on the biggest show on television, whose wife's on the front row, doing what she wants to do."

I think Susan had a good chance of getting quite far with a female partner. I'm shocked that it seemed like Strictly producers gave her decision.

[Nicky91]

i think Susan might still have a chance of a few of the male pro dancers

[Braden]

i think Susan might still have a chance of a few of the male pro dancers

I hope so. It's be nice to see her get far, unexpectedly. Or just be really entertaining with her dances.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Can't wait to see Aston. I love him :lovedup:

[girlfighter1992]

Can't wait to see Aston. I love him :lovedup:

Agree Vanessa love Aston looking forward to see who is partner is and who Alexandra, Mollie, Davood and Jonnie are paired up with

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Agree Vanessa love Aston looking forward to see who is partner is and who Alexandra, Mollie, Davood and Jonnie are paired up with

I get the feel he could be amazing. He has good rhythm already.

[Nicky91]

I hope so. It's be nice to see her get far, unexpectedly. Or just be really entertaining with her dances.

look if you want that to happen, you might want to vote from week 2


you never know what might happen if you vote for Susan



but lovely of you stanning her :D

[Braden]

Oh, I never vote in these things. I'm not engrossed by talent shows and will probably stop watching when I go back to uni :p

But thank you. Part of me hopes that Austin is an early out, or frequent bottom two'er (no offence to Vanessa, lmao)

Sorry, I've never been much of a fan, and I feel like his win is already predictable :hehe:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Sorry, I've never been much of a fan, and I feel like his win is already predictable :hehe:

Ruth Joe Aston Mollie Alexandra Gemma top 6

[GiRTh]

I wonder who Aston will get as a partner. I hope its not Jeanette.:fist:

[Tinsel Toes]

There can never be a big enough tribute to 'Sir Brucie' what an all round good bloke.

[GiRTh]

Called it - Aston and Jeanette. These two are gonna be the most annoying

[Braden]

It'd be nice if we could hear Shania.

[Denver]

It would be nice if she retired

[Denver]

She peaked with a party for 2

[Jack.]

Ore wasn't as good as he was last year :idc:

[Denver]

He was never good

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Aston and Jeanette look great together. They're going to be a great partnership.

[RileyH]

Ore wasn't as good as he was last year :idc:

He was good last year?

[GiRTh]

Not sure about Charlotte and Brendan. Thought she would get a better partner than Brendan

[Lewismacfarlane]

Ruth and Anton to win

[GiRTh]

Why isnt Chloe Hewitt isnt getting a partner. second year running and she wont the Xnas special too

[Denver]

Why isnt Chloe Hewitt isnt getting a partner. second year running and she wont the Xnas special too

[Braden]

This makes me want to be a dancer.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Aston looked so confident in the group dance. Looks like he can move as well. :love:

Did anyone else see Charlotte mess up in the group dance, she was out of synch in one part near the end.

[Nicky91]

Chizzy to do what Tameka couldn't?

'I got kicked out of ballet for dancing like an elephant'

[RileyH]

another Rita Ora bop :clap1:

[Nicky91]

i just find Gemma bland, sorry but this is what i honestly think

[RileyH]

Jonnie is a cutie :flutter:

[RileyH]

isn't Brian Conley the one who quit I'm A Celeb the same series as Ashley, Helen and Janine?

[Nicky91]

Jonnie is a cutie :flutter:

yes but i don't want sympathy votes for him, cause he's a paralympian, that prostetic leg of his, is actually a advantage in a paso, look at Cassidy Little he won the people's strictly, with a paso

[Nicky91]

isn't Brian Conley the one who quit I'm A Celeb the same series as Ashley, Helen and Janine?

yes that's him, but maybe i'm a celeb wasn't his cup of tea, apparently a relative of him is working behind the scenes of strictly :hee:

[RileyH]

yes that's him, but maybe i'm a celeb wasn't his cup of tea, apparently a relative of him is working behind the scenes of strictly :hee:

lmao, awkward :joker:

[Morgan.]

Jonnie looked like he didn't know it as well :joker: Simon Debbie and I think Mollie (?) look pretty good.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I get the feeling that Aston and Jeanette are going to do a brilliant Latin, especially the Charleston. Aston can do backflips and can dance fast.

[Nicky91]

i have the hots for Davood and Nadiya, i think Davood could be similar to your Danny Mac last year :D

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

i have the hots for Davood and Nadiya, i think Davood could be similar to your Danny Mac last year :D

I think he will improve. Hope he does well

[RileyH]

Charlotte is coming for that win :clap1:

[Braden]

I predict that Aston will be in the bottom 2 early on, but probably get to the final.

I really want someone unexpected like Debbie or Susan to win :love:

[Nicky91]

Susan will be a quite tough challenge there to win, not impossible but very nerve wrecking if you support her i think

No. He won't be. He will smash it!

[Denver]

He should be banned

[Braden]

Susan will be a quite tough challenge there to win, not impossible but very nerve wrecking if you support her i think

Don't worry. Like I said, I don't take the show that seriously, and I'll probably stop watching after a few weeks :p

No. He won't be. He will smash it!

Just how I feel. People may think he's safe, and if he messes up a dance one week, he could end up in the bottom 2.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

He should be banned

Why? He isn't dance trained. Others have been to dance /stage school, but that's ok by you? :nono:

[Denver]

He is and was also a judge on a dancing show

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Don't worry. Like I said, I don't take the show that seriously, and I'll probably stop watching after a few weeks :p



Just how I feel. People may think he's safe, and if he messes up a dance one week, he could end up in the bottom 2.
People said the same about Jay,, but he was never bottom two.

[RileyH]

I feel like Aston won't live up to expectations and will flop tbh

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

He is and was also a judge on a dancing show

But he hasn't been to dance school.

[Denver]

He knows how to dance thogh

[Braden]

People said the same about Jay,, but he was never bottom two.

I think Jay came across more likeable and humble than Aston will, personally.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I feel like Aston won't live up to expectations and will flop tbh

No, he will be great!

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I think Jay came across more likeable and humble than Aston will, personally.

Aston is lovely :nono:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

He knows how to dance thogh

But he doesn't know ballroom or Latin. Same as the others.

[Braden]

Aston is lovely :nono:

Like I said, just my opinion :p

[Denver]

Aston is big headed and thinks his gods gift

[Denver]

Cant wait for Alex to beat him again

[RileyH]

Cant wait for Alex to beat him again

:fan:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Aston is big headed and thinks his gods gift

No, he's not. :nono:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Cant wait for Alex to beat him again

She has been to dance school. Of course she will be the best one.

[Denver]

She has been to dance school. Of course she will be the best one.
She hasnt danced since she was a child

[Denver]

Anyway it was confirmed last night that Jonnie and Oti won

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

She hasnt danced since she was a child

She still has an advantage. And she has danced in plays and as a singer.

[Denver]

Not ballroom, but there's dancing in it. Aston hasn't done ballroom either.

[RileyH]

Anyway it was confirmed last night that Charlotte won

well said :clap1:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Both Alexandra and Aston have an advantage. But I think both are natural dancers and will both be great.

[Nicky91]

Don't worry. Like I said, I don't take the show that seriously, and I'll probably stop watching after a few weeks :p



i am already liking this line up more than last year, just all really nice celebs


so yes i agree bits with you, this is a entertainment show :hee:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Debbie has done ballet. I think she will do a brilliant ballroom.

[girlfighter1992]

Official favourite couple are Aston & Janette for me they are the perfect partnership. Been a fan of his since he was a children's presenter on CITV and disagree with people calling him big headed and arrogant he isn't. People call him a ringer and that he shouldn't be on the show he may know how to dance but he isn't a professional ballroom dancer.

Out of all the celebrities he is the one I most looking forward to watching him I think he will do great and over the moon he has agreed to do this year after previously saying no before.

[Denver]

Another reason Aston wont win is because Jannette is the worse dancer and struggles with some of them

She's one of the best pros in there for me.

He's fit and he can dance a bit already. But he has never done ballroom or Latin. Personally I think they will make brilliant Latin. Especial the Charleston. He will be amazing at the faster dances.

Yes definitely going to be good at the Latin if they are in for a bit then I'm hoping we see them do the Salsa, Samba and Charleston
