never heard of him, but thank god another young celeb, so vile saffron won't have the younger fanbase for herself

so Karim and Mike are the more internal BBC signings of this year :D

First one I’m unaware of, but sure he’ll be great

he's been to Sylvia young performance school, so yeah he can dance

maybe Karim & Katya, #TeamKaKa anyone :think:

Katya is almost certainly not getting a partner

not bad so far the line up, i only have a ''who'' with Karim, but he seems nice, likeable i guess

and hope some of rumours are true though

we need that male actor still, maybe line of duty's Adrian Dunbar is in

from music those who were rumoured a lot this year, Ella Eyre and The Vamps's Bradley Simpson

i guess Anneka Rice is most likely to be in, same as Michelle Visage

Is it 8 women or men this year?

or both ;)

They have to always have more women as they have targets to meet

Turns out he is 25

Another shockingly bad casting. Typical BBC choice

You dont know that yet, only time will tell

Why is it a bad casting?

There are no bad castings imo. All start with a clean slate and have to improve week on week. You can't tell if they'll be any good till it starts and even if some are not so well known so what? They could be dark horses. Look at Joe Sugg from last year. I would not write anyone off out of hand. Bit harsh.

Exactly right, well said Kate!
This show gives people a chance to shine.

yes i agree 100% :clap1: 6 out of 7 for me personally seem like a fun bunch

and the BBC internals Karim, Mike are well chosen with their bubbly loveable personalities

I wouldn't write Saffron out either Nicky.

:idc: i don't care about that vile blonde bitch, and if aj gets her i still wouldn't support her, i would just happily ignore her performance, switch channels probably when she's on

But why is she a vile blonde bitch? She may be lovely. Everyone makes mistakes especially when they are so young.

Nicky she will be best thing since Alice bread in a few days time, stop attention seeking

yes agree with this, I would never have thought someone like Stacey Dooley would be such a natural

Oh get a grip.

:joker::joker::joker:

OMG i cannot believe this

and btw i want AJ with Michelle Visage, she's great for him height wise i've seen on aj's insta, he and curtis stood close to her and michelle is a match for aj :dance2:

Wait, they show the British Strictly in The Netherlands?
