She's a well know ambassador for Downs, don't be mean Nicky, and she's had a Barbie doll made in her honour. Hardly a nobody.

I am dreading how patronizing the judges will be towards her.

You've definitely hit the nail on the head with them two.

the voting will be false and it will make a mockery of the competition.

…I think that @Strictly Jake could plan on a Go Woke category round to his TiBB game…

[Time to Sleigh]

She is a celebrity actually nicky in the UK, many will know who she is

[JingleJones]

I don’t know who she is.. but tbf they’re always sticking random radio presenters, sports people in there and i have no clue who they are either..

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't known who she is, but good luck to her.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Members triggered by Down syndrome. Let’s add that to the extensive list.

Please yourself.

Shirley Ballas calls this years line up ''The Cast of All Casts'' as a big tease


so yeah i share the same hype as Shirley honestly, and i don't think i am too far off regarding my guesses



also would be nice to have a year with not sympathy narrative, but multiple, here with Ellie (first contestant on the show with down syndrome) Cavendish (his whole returning to his childhood love for dancing narrative will go down well with the show's most passionate fans of dance i think) and Donal Logue (regarding his story being the parent of a trans daughter and being proud of that, as well as being Pro-LGBT+, and honestly he might have been noticed with the 300th anniversary ep of murdoch mysteries)

…go woke or go samba…?…I don’t regularly watch Strictly but I believe that she’s done some acting as well as modelling…she’s as celebrity as some and possibly moreso than some also…I’m also reading that she’s written a children’s book about growing up with Down Syndrome…and not just with Strictly but with much reality TV …what Ellie has achieved, she’s achieved in her own name and not through being an uncle of/a daughter of/a neighbour of or whatever attachment to a well known person…
