The official Strictly Come Dancing 2020 line up is to be confirmed before the end of August.


The BBC has said that the show is "absolutely" going ahead although will see changes due to the ongoing pandemic.

Describing the 2020 run as a "special series", the BBC have already confirmed the upcoming season would have a shorter run.

It's expected to launch in October with the line up to be confirmed from the end of this month (August).

BBC entertainment controller Kate Phillips said: "We'll announce the celebrity lineup at the end of this month - they are all on board and very excited."

Names rumoured for the cast include radio host Clara Amfo, Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, TikTok star Holly H and Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing.

Also linked to the cast are TV favourite Scarlett Moffatt, Westlife's Mark Feehily and Presenter Michelle Ackerley.

It has been rumoured that the new series could see the first ever same-sex celebrity and pro pairings, with potentially two such couples.

A source claimed to The Sun newspaper: "Everyone assumed producers would simply pair gay pro Johannes Radebe with a male celebrity but they felt that was too obvious. Then there was a suggestion they would opt to put two women together.

"But nobody expected having pairings of both genders."

Meanwhile, it's been confirmed that Bruno Tonioli won't appear on the judging panel at the start of the live shows this year due to current travel restrictions.

However he will still be a part of the Strictly series this year in a brand new way.

Bruno will be keeping a close eye on the series throughout the run and will be involved remotely in the Sunday night Results show each week, from across the pond.

Plus, all going well, Bruno will be making his grand return to the show in person towards the end of the series.

"Lockdown has resulted in me being in LA for the foreseeable, but I'm excited to be involved as much as I possibly can. There was no cha-cha-chance I'd miss out!"

we might have still some audience, but just not the same amount as normal

as for the line up, i hope there are some surprises among the mix, who weren't among initial rumours

Nicky91
29-08-2020, 07:16 AM

Andy Abraham - Musicals Star, X Factor runner up, Eurovision Star

Karthik - Apprentice Star

Jenny Ryan - Star of Chasers

we can at least rule out Beverly Callard, apparently she has a hip replacement, and still very painful for her

so won't be doing any RTV at all for next years

i think Bill & Caroline are the ''end of the month'' sort of reveal producers talked about

they'll probably get a official reveal by bbc strictly later on though


i think first official reveal to come on either bbc radio 1 or the one show, or could also be bbc breakfast

Nicky91
31-08-2020, 04:45 PM
now tonight there is no One show due to bank holiday, right


and it is also a later and shorter series, so maybe also therefore no august reveals

and probably just 12 names to reveal (also lot less than usual 15)

and i saw a Dermot O'Leary rumour, i would love it if he does strictly this year, i think he would be good, and at least have some entertainment potential

There’s one supposedly this morning, and another on the one show tonight. The truth is, no one really knows when the first reveal will be.

I’m presuming they won’t be in the studio due to covid, but Bill Bailey is in Newcastle doing that socially distanced venue tonight

Nicky91

I’m presuming they won’t be in the studio due to covid, but Bill Bailey is in Newcastle doing that socially distanced venue tonight

via a livestream feed probably, so if we spot newcastle location we can know it is Bill or a theatre venue

Good Morning America also did theirs via that live feed, i saw for AJ McLean reveal


as for third name maybe someone from sports, yes i read it too on ds but i already knew this myself too that they did a lot of sports star reveals too, kinda hope for a nice surprise, bit of a well known past sports star (hope a footballer again) i personally would like someone like Teddy Sheringham, Emile Heskey, Sol Campbell in that direction like 98 or 02 world cup alumni

Considering Mo Gilligan's filming the Masked Singer UK S2, I'm not sure he'd have the time.

01-09-2020, 03:49 PM
Nigel Farage

:fc:

Farage's anti-bbc propaganda and then him being on a bbc show


but hey i believe he can be as messy and entertaining as Ed Balls with all honesty

i think it might also be good for him, to just have more fun rather than stressful politics and brexit all the time

I didn't know the footballer. Love sport but not NFL. Apparently he works for the BBC though so it's not as random as a signing as I thought.

Shaun
01-09-2020, 06:32 PM
Yeah I've seen Jason working in Super Bowl coverage before, pretty well known among British NFL fans

He's also Nadine Coyle's babydaddy
