4% of the UK is black so therefore if there are 14 contestants at least 8 should be black.

Maybe black women were too busy auditioning for Big Brother?

Seriously though there's definitely going to be some demographic overlap here, which will harm all three of them in the vote.

Also just to edit, I want to apologize as I've saw that there's only two black men in the Show, because if I'm not mistaken I think Krishnan is of Asian origin.

Oh. My apologies. 2 black men and an Indian then. It's still overkill.

Got to say, not surprised at the whole ‘too many non white people’ thing on this forum, definitely surprised by who started it though, big yikes

No, it's not that they aren't white, it's just overkill to have 3 male Pocs in a line up of 16. 1 male and 1 female would have been adequate.

I have no idea who he is. But I'm sure I'll get to know him during the show.
Comedians are usually fun on Strictly.

So you think there’s too many non white people and that there should be a limit of them

In regards to a Strictly lineup yes.

1 male Poc
1 female Poc
1 male gay contestant
1 female gay contestant
The rest a good mixture of ages and talents.

Hopefully the lineup will be good regardless of demographics.

Personally I think that Reality TV Shows does suit the diversity casting quota better than scripted TV imo, Channel 5 BB proved to me that a UKIP-esque vision of a Reality TV Show is really not a good idea.

Ironically though I do think scripted TV Shows are finding it much harder for some bizarre reason, it's like being inclusive and being well written is impossible for some of these writers.

umm no

you only need one LGBTQ+ celebrity to appeal to that demographic


also you also have diversity in the POC contestants though

Layton = Jamaican roots
Krishnan = Indian roots
Eddie = Congolese roots

all with roots from 3 different continents in the world



i'm already more happy we have (some) elderly taking part again, as that has been a while now, will deffo root for Angela Rippon and also Les Dennis (i am like 98% sure he is in now Miss Scanlon was officially revealed) to hopefully avoid the first few eliminations


as for a ''Love Island'' star like Zara being in, i'm personally not against including reality stars as long as they got other claims to fame than their LI fame
