somehow i could see the rumour of Thomas Skinner being false, while he was a fan favourite in the apprentice, there would be other more known entrepeneur castings than him


what about that other guy from the apprentice, Ryan-Mark Parsons? he is from same series as Thomas, although he is more a celebrity than Thomas is

I can’t stand Ryan Mark, so full of himself

[Nicky91]

with Poppy O'Toole rumoured to be in, i am less hopeful on Rosemary Shrager taking part, we wouldn't have two female chefs in one series


and Miranda Hart idk, she'd be an amazing name for sure, but i don't know if she will want to do the show herself


who knows the older lady might be Dawn French surprising us all and finally saying yes to this show, all thanks to a comedian like Chris winning and a older female actress like Sarah going all the way to the final, but then we need Dawn & Johannes honestly they would be my dream pairing (for many years now) i also think Dawn will love this show, and JoJo would indeed the perfect gentleman partner for her

[Nicky91]

me literally this time of year, and now more than evah, for the likes of Mark Cavendish and Dawn French to be taking part, a prayer circle everyone

[Nicky91]

my hopes

- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
- Stefan Dennis
- Donal Logue
- Mark Cavendish
- Thomas Skinner
- Jake Brown
- Ashley Cain
- Harry Aikines-Aryeetey
------------------------
- Dani Dyer
- Poppy O'Toole
- Balvinder Sopal
- Shini Muthukrishnan
- Vicky Pattison
- Nicola Roberts
- Georgia Toffolo (or Dawn French if they insist on a older female)


something like this to be the line up

alright updating this


maybe no female music star this year then, but a model with a disability


but otherwise i believe this could be our line up the only one whose more wishful thinking for me is Donal, but that is me having a gut feeling in terms of a decently known acting name with a ''special story'' considering what the producers of this show do is box ticking, and i think we might get someone outside the box for the LGBT+ community (regarding Donal's daughter who is trans)

the one in Bold - confirmed

[Nicky91]

i mean we don't necessarily need an older lady casting, could also be 3 older male castings, and having a slightly more competitive females line up


in light of a male winning last year, i reckon producers want to come up with few more on paper ''contenders'' from the celebrity females side

[Nicky91]

Donal competing here, would be good for all parents with trans children in the UK so yes i hope the BBC also realize this

[Nicky91]

Dawn French is someone like Bill Bailey, who would want to taken seriously on this show, and not the novelty act


thats why Johannes i think would be perfect for her, should she be in

[Mystic Mock]

I don't know who will fit this profile that I'm looking for that hasn't already done the Show already, but here it goes.

I want:

Gender - Female
Age - In her 20's or 30's
Hair Colour - Dark (black or brown, I'm not fussed)
Occupation - Tennis player
Personality - Be really funny and charismatic.

And of course this doesn't coincide with my preference for dark haired women at all.

No offense to blondes, redheads, pink, or blue haired women. A bit of offense intended for green haired women.

Emma Raducanu won't do the show this year though


but in terms of dark haired women, you'll love Vicky Pattison then and she is quite funny

Raducanu won her match today.

And maybe I should stretch my criteria to Sportswomen in general, rather than just specifically Tennis players?

They’ll be announcing the cast soon I’d think

yes as The One Show is back this week, maybe not this week, but could be next week


and the list of professionals is announced, two newbies, one new male pro (Julian) and one new female pro (Alexis)

[Nicky91]

we can rule out Rosemary Shrager i think, she's more gonna do some new cooking show in autumn

[Nicky91]

Alex Kingston, OMG YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Arrow's Dinah Lance such a great name signing

[Nicky91]

tomorrow the reveals could begin to happen maybe



i'm crossing every finger and every toe, i really really really want Donal Logue to be this years surprise booking, interesting that he has no current filming work commitments, and this year having been first time he had a role in a BBC production, 300th anniversary of Murdoch Mysteries

plus his life story is one which appeals quite well to the BBC bosses me thinks


height wise he is 5.10 (1.78 metres) might make him a possibility for either Dianne, Alexis or Michelle, i think Dianne wouldn't be a bad one for him, she is a sucker for lovable celebs with extra baggage, but Michelle also wouldn't be too bad for him, considering he is one of those actors who deeply care about raw storytelling, building a connection through his harvard acting training


i also think the public might warm to him, even if he isn't a UK celeb, his likeable nice guy vibe, similar to Nick Knowles last year he has that same-ish charm about him

[Nicky91]

tomorrow first reveals at The One Show 7 PM


my prediction for the first reveals: Stefan Dennis, Dani Dyer and then perhaps a surprise third

[Kate!]

There is zero chance of Strictly signing Donal Logue.

well my theory isn't too far fetched honestly


his first time this year with a role in a BBC production, not just a small guest role either, a important guest starring role, someone who the main character William Murdoch idolizes


and honestly, based on this i would think him with his story he brings with him, he would be appealing in terms of their box ticking

[Kate!]

2 new rumours, though I doubt both will be chosen as we already have 1 rumoured Neighbours star in Stefan Dennis. 2 Neighbours actresses/singers are said to be potential contestants. Natalie Imbruglia and Delta Goodrem.

Natalie and Delta are too big for this show though

But Donal Logue isn't?

The guy was in a Batman programme for 5 Seasons that was also incredibly well known worldwide.

no?

he was just lucky to have landed decent roles in quite some series


he's nothing too A-Lister, in fact many of his acting colleagues find him off set very down to earth and a normal nice guy
