It is. There’s no info. It’s just numbers

[Morgan.]

It is. There’s no info. It’s just numbers

Yes but at the Celebs get confirmed Nicky is going to add them to the OP. Stop getting carried away on your power trip of controlling what people post and when, because I guarantee you it's getting on everyone's nerves.

lol to be fair to him, people always used to say his threads similar to this one were pointless and it’s only since then that i’ve seen him start doing the same?

[Nicky91]

Yes but at the Celebs get confirmed Nicky is going to add them to the OP. Stop getting carried away on your power trip of controlling what people post and when, because I guarantee you it's getting on everyone's nerves.

:thumbs: thanks Morgan for explaining it, this is exactly what i'm going to do

[Black Dagger]

Vick is clearly doing it but you hit that control trip hun.

[BBUK-Fan]

Yes but at the Celebs get confirmed Nicky is going to add them to the OP. Stop getting carried away on your power trip of controlling what people post and when, because I guarantee you it's getting on everyone's nerves.

What? Idk what you are on about.

[Nicky91]

Vick is clearly doing it but you hit that control trip hun.

Vick Hope, well if she is doing it, then we do already know our first boot of the year :hehe: with her lack of popularity

[Morgan.]

What? Idk what you are on about.

Okay you carry on then

[Black Dagger]

Vick Hope, well if she is doing it, then we do already know our first boot of the year :hehe: with her lack of popularity

Yet you stanned Daisy Lowe lol.

[Nicky91]

a) First name at some point in the next two weeks
b) No current plans for same-sex dance partnerships (killing off the stories prompted by Rev Richard Coles and Robert Rinder's recent interviews)
c) No Cath Tyldesley (killing off the stories started by her Tweet)
d) The line-up will be 'more well-known' than Vick Hope (which is a fairly tepid endorsement).

this is what the press office said

[Nicky91]

Yet you stanned Daisy Lowe lol.

yes i shouldn't have done that, i really went that low LOL get the pun :laugh:

[BBUK-Fan]

Okay you carry on then

What did you mean? I only think this is too early to have when it’s not even close to the celebs being revealed. That’s like me making the CBB 22 Launch Thread now

[Morgan.]

What did you mean? I only think this is too early to have when it’s not even close to the celebs being revealed. That’s like me making the CBB 22 Launch Thread now

Figure it out.

And anyway the first celeb will revealed any day now. Nicky is just opening this thread in speculation - we can post rumours etc here in the meantime. Like the CBB22 Speculation Thread

[ethanjames]

Don’t think you understand

[Nicky91]

first celebs will be revealed in these 2 weeks


the OP is where i will post the confirmed celebs in, that's why i created the list of numbers

[RichardG]

if bbuk posted this thread y’all wouldn’t go along with it but sure go off i guess

[BBUK-Fan]

if bbuk posted this thread y’all wouldn’t go along with it but sure go off i guess

True

[Morgan.]

if bbuk posted this thread y’all wouldn’t go along with it but sure go off i guess

I probably would tbf - with celeb announcements imminent it makes sense.

[RichardG]

I probably would tbf - with celeb announcements imminent it makes sense.

nope, it would be criticised for having a misleading title for a start

[Morgan.]

nope, it would be criticised for having a misleading title for a start

Oh I'm not saying others would of wouldn't criticise James, but I'd definitley go with it.

[BBUK-Fan]

^ Hmm

[Morgan.]

^ Hmm

We might not like each other but I wouldn't have a go at you for something that made sense

[BBUK-Fan]

We might not like each other but I wouldn't have a go at you for something that made sense

What do you mean we might not like each other? I like you :)

[Morgan.]

What do you mean we might not like each other? I like you :)

I don't think we've ever had a friendly conversation

[Jack_]

We might not like each other but I wouldn't have a go at you for something that made sense

What do you mean we might not like each other? I like you :)

:skull:

[Nicky91]

back to speculations

- Vick Hope being rumoured in a very negative article for Strictly, that's how i've never seen a celeb reveal, with the focus on the strictly curse and also Vick Hope is romantically linked to a member of rak su if i'm correct so not very good she doing strictly, in terms of that curse

- who i do think might do strictly this year, Piers Morgan he's already said he's eager to do it this year, David James or Gary Lineker, the BBC sports pundit signing of the year i think

[Withano]

I think the thread is a good idea. Nicky will add the names to the OP once they have been confirmed. I think somebody just likes to complain.

[Nicky91]

yes a win win scenario, now you don't need to make all these threads anymore, so majority here for now is for speculation and when the celebs get confirmed we can chat about them in here

it's a similar thread as on DS strictly subforum, which is also really popular

[Matthew.]

imagine piers doing it

but im not watching it this year because it’s a load of crap

[Nicky91]

imagine piers doing it

but im not watching it this year because it’s a load of crap

i'd stan Piers :clap2:


him getting redemption and coming over more likeable through strictly

[Matthew.]

i actually like piers, don’t agree with everything he says but he makes some good point sometimes and he makes the breakfast tv not boring

[Nicky91]

i actually like piers, don’t agree with everything he says but he makes some good point sometimes and he makes the breakfast tv not boring

i do think he could be good at ballroom & tango, and having a fun latin :D

[Black Dagger]

i'd stan Piers :clap2:


him getting redemption and coming over more likeable through strictly

The bloke is a bellend through and through. A dance show wouldn't help that.

[Denver]

a) First name at some point in the next two weeks
b) No current plans for same-sex dance partnerships (killing off the stories prompted by Rev Richard Coles and Robert Rinder's recent interviews)
c) No Cath Tyldesley (killing off the stories started by her Tweet)
d) The line-up will be 'more well-known' than Vick Hope (which is a fairly tepid endorsement).

this is what the press office said
No they did not

You stole that from DS

[Matthew.]

No they did not

You stole that from DS

expose ha

[Denver]

People like to discuss individual celebs and will go to the thread about that as was proven last year

[Nicky91]

No they did not

You stole that from DS

expose ha

in my defence i thought it came from an article in the media which is what i understood in ''press office''

[Nicky91]

edited the OP slightly, radiotimes confirming line up is complete, 15 names soon to be revealed, so that's 3 pro dancers benched then

[Twosugars]

I'd like to see a same sex couple tho
Aljaz said he'd be up for it :flutter:

[BBUK-Fan]

I'd like to see a same sex couple tho
Aljaz said he'd be up for it :flutter:

There’s no need though.

[Twosugars]

There’s no need though.

Disagree

[Denver]

Same sex couples do not work in ballroom

[Twosugars]

Seen some in a tv docu and they were amazing so changed my mind on the issue and now I'm in favour

[Nicky91]

i doubt that there will be a same sexcouple this year at strictly


to be benched i think: Neil, Amy, Karen

Luba to replace Karen i think


Neil's competition are Graziano, Johannes, Anton, and no way that there will be 4 tall ladies on the line up, and i think graziano, johannes both will get partnered, and same goes for Anton with the comedy older lady again i guess

[BBUK-Fan]

Same sex couples do not work in ballroom

Exactly. It’s just because the pc brigade want to change everything we do

[Nicky91]

who i think might do strictly

Tulisa, she isn't linked to any ITV at the moment, so she could be signed up for strictly now

Shaheen Jafargholi, as our younger male contestant he would be a good signing for strictly i think

[Denver]

Why do you keep stealing things from D'S and making them your own??

[Nicky91]

Why do you keep stealing things from D'S and making them your own??

ummm because i made this a confirmed line up and for now speculation thread

just stating some facts hun :notimpressed:

[Twosugars]

Exactly. It’s just because the pc brigade want to change everything we do

don't remember joining any brigade

[BBUK-Fan]

don't remember joining any brigade

I’m not referring to you specifically

[BBUK-Fan]

Tulisa isn’t doing Strictly

[Nicky91]

Tulisa isn’t doing Strictly

i get the impression of that she is rumoured every year but never signs up

:hehe:


for me i don't necessarily want the biggest celeb names but just a bunch of lovely likeable people who want to learn how to dance

[Denver]

Yet you slagged of poor Vick for not being a big name

[Jase.]

I think Mel C's doing it!

[LukeB]

I think Mel C's doing it!

Why do you think that?

[Jase.]

Why do you think that?

Just a feeling in my bones hen

[Nicky91]

Yet you slagged of poor Vick for not being a big name

for me she isn't a big name but maybe to the more youth in UK who listen to that particular radio channel


i only listen to BBC Radio 1 & 2 honestly

[Nicky91]

so our possibilities for the line up

DJ Vick Hope - would be an awful signing for strictly, and also an early boot for sure lack of popularity

Faye Tozer - would be a finalist for sure with her dance experience i guess, and Steps does seem a popular group


if these rumours are true, i don't know, maybe BBC are getting better at keeping secrets these days

[glibberglobber]

Nicky stop!

[Nicky91]

Nicky stop!

:laugh: :laugh:

[Nicky91]

i will put those 2 names in the OP until proven otherwise then

[RileyH]

Hmm

[Nicky91]

Hmm

:joker: :joker:


Vick just isn't a Maya Jama sort of celeb tbh

[Lewismacfarlane]

Nicky were going to fall out soon take the two names down just now from the confirmed list

[RichardG]

i will put those 2 names in the OP until proven otherwise then


if these rumours are true, i don't know, maybe BBC are getting better at keeping secrets these days

So is this the real confirmed celeb line up thread or just another speculation thread :think:

[Nicky91]

So is this the real confirmed celeb line up thread or just another speculation thread :think:

real confirmed celeb line up

[Nicky91]

updated the OP now with our third signing

[Vanessa]

Lots of rumours around, including some big names. Hoe exciting :cheer2:

[Lewismacfarlane]

No one is confirmed take the names off the list

[Nicky91]

No one is confirmed take the names off the list

usually those rumours are true, the closer we get towards strictly


so yes i trust these rumours now

[Lewismacfarlane]

usually those rumours are true, the closer we get towards strictly


so yes i trust these rumours now

Tale the names down or I'm reporting the thread

[Nicky91]

sure Lewis

[Morgan.]

Strictly are confirming names starting the 13th.

[Matthew.]

Tale the names down or I'm reporting the thread

:skull:

[Nicky91]

Strictly are confirming names starting the 13th.

thanks for this information Morgan, i will pay attention from then and onwards :)


on BBC Breakfast, Radio 1, This Morning, The One Show who could all have celeb reveals (which they did have in the past) :think:

[Denver]

Strictly are confirming names starting the 13th.

The sad thing is The Sun are he'll bent on ruining the daily reveals and taking away the shock factor

[Nicky91]

i won't ruin the daily reveals i will only edit the OP when reveals have been made

[Nicky91]

anyway i've been reading Neil Jones will get partnered this year :cheer2:

[RichardG]

Tale the names down or I'm reporting the thread

sure Lewis

lmao

[Nicky91]

Neil in, and AJ out :amazed: :clap2:

[Black Dagger]

Neil in, and AJ out :amazed: :clap2:

This isn't something to be happy about.

[Morgan.]

NEil is replacing Brendan Cole not AJ :laugh: Anyway AJ >>>> Neil

[Nicky91]

NEil is replacing Brendan Cole not AJ :laugh: Anyway AJ >>>> Neil

it's a dancing show, Neil is a better dancer maybe less good looking as AJ but it ain't a modelling show :joker:

[Black Dagger]

It's an entertainment show and I don't need to see Neil's face on my telly every week. He's a bellend.

[Nicky91]

It's an entertainment show and I don't need to see Neil's face on my telly every week. He's a bellend.

:o and me thinking that Neil was so popular on here, all the moaning last year like so sad that Neil doesn't get a celeb dance partner

[Nicky91]

so we have Neil as brendan's replacement

i might think Graziano will get a celeb partner, Aljaz seems popular, Giovanni has confirmed it now on twitter that he will get a celeb partner

AJ also said on his twitter that he has a few goals for this year, one of them includes trying to win strictly glitterball so this might be a slight clue he could have a celeb partner


Pasha or Anton, i think Anton has the fanbase which is good for ratings and he usually does a good job with the comedy older celebs

Pasha seemed bored last year tbh, he could be benched for one year and then come back with a contender next year

Johannes, hasn't really danced for a while now, so he could be benched in his first year but he could also be a Keo and be first boot in his first year

[Nicky91]

Katie is a nice first signing, maybe in terms of fan fave potential up there with the Susan Calman popularity Heights, Katie also is a fan of the show like Susan was, so i hope Katie is a better dancer than Susan was

:)

[Nicky91]

ok so now we have 4 names revealed, who else are we hoping for

musician slot - i'm hoping and he would be a realistic signing Chesney Hawkes

actor/actress slot - Rachel Shenton, would be a decent signing for sure, but maybe for me personally i don't know if he's realistic or not Jeremy Irons or his son Max Irons

politician slot - Boris Johnson, he would be good fun similar to Ed Balls i think

sportspeople slots - Tim Henman, Boris Becker, David James, maybe someone from this years Team GB winter games :think:

other slot - astronaut Tim Peake, tv gardener Monty Don

[Nicky91]

so 9 celeb reveals we had so far, a very diverse line up :love:

[Nicky91]

shame strictly doesn't got Hardeep, he would've been a worldclass signing for this show :sad:

[Strictly Jake]

4 spots left and based on rumours heres who I think it could be

Lee Ryan
Samantha Womack
Anneka Rice
Tom Daly

[Nicky91]

nah i hope

Lee Ryan

Nick Knowles

Sheila Ferguson

Dina Asher-Smith

[Strictly Jake]

So Lee ryan was a correct choice from me

Then lauren steadman dont know who that is

So 2 spots left obviously the next is a man im going for tom daly

So that makes it 7 males 7 females so it opens it up to if celeb 15 is a man or woman

Maybe a bigger name

[Denver]

So for the first time ever we don't have a actress

[Strictly Jake]

it's best to post the real confirmed celebrities for strictly all in one thread i guess


and only go for reliable sources preferably BBC themselves


1. Katie Piper, Charity Campaigner/Former Model
2. Faye Tozer, Steps singer and west end performer
3. Danny John Jules, actor, stage & screen
4. Joe Sugg, Youtuber
5. Vick Hope, DJ & The Voice UK digital reporter
6. Graeme Swann, Cricketer
7. Ranj Singh, tv presenter, author and tv doctor
8. Stacey Dooley, Media Personality, Journalist, TV Presenter
9. Ashley Roberts, Singer (Pussycat Dolls) & Reality Star
10. Kate Silverton, BBC Presenter
11. Seann Walsh, Stand Up Comedian

13. Lauren Steadman, Paralympic athlete
14. Charles Venn, Actor known for his role in Casualty
15. Susannah Constatine, tv fashion personality known for

Guess this is the full lineup then

[Nicky91]

updated the OP now

[Daniel-X]

I’m ****ing howling at that line up slsksks ahhhhh

[Nicky91]

I’m ****ing howling at that line up slsksks ahhhhh

who cares about the line up :rolleyes: it's about the dancing anyway

[Scream]

who cares about the line up :rolleyes: it's about the dancing anyway

It's likely down-hill from here. This line-up is not going to encourage bigger names to sign-up next year and the show will start losing credibility. It's the same that happened to #CBB

[Nicky91]

It's likely down-hill from here. This line-up is not going to encourage bigger names to sign-up next year and the show will start losing credibility. It's the same that happened to #CBB

i don't dislike anyone from the line up, that is a first for me with strictly


nah i hate the moaning, cause we never will get hollywood stars on strictly, so people should now just not have high expectations as for the line up from next year and onwards and just enjoy it as a light entertainment show
