Strictly 2024 (2 Viewers)

[Rita]

Are the press jumping on it already? As I said above the signings don’t have any impact on me watching. It’s the show itself I love rather than who takes part but if someone I really like does take part it’s a bonus.

 

[Ellie]

Fun fact - A recent film called Save The Cinema was based on a real life campaign to save a cinema in Wales from closing in 1993, where they managed to convince Steven Spielberg to premiere Jurassic Park there simultaneously with the London screening. The main campaigner was Go Compare man’s mum and he’s portrayed in the film.

Is a LOOSE WOMAN not usually part of the line up?

Is a LOOSE WOMAN not usually part of the line up?

There's usually someone from ITV daytime, but not necessarily from Loose Women.

 

[Nancy]

Good Morning Britain / This Morning/ Loose Women are usually represented.

 

[Nancy]

I hope they also announce the "Calm down dear, it's a commercial" man.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I hope they also announce the "Calm down dear, it's a commercial" man.

He's dead, love.

 

[GALA]

Has anyone said they wouldn't watch? Because I haven't. I've missed seasons before, but never because of the line-up as the dancing and dynamics are their own things entirely.

 

[Rita]

19!!! Loose Women over the 23 seasons.

 

[Nancy]

19!!! Loose Women over the 23 seasons.

Wow! But I think some of them became Loose Women after they appeared on Strictly, like Gloria Hunniford or Penny Lancaster.

I can’t be bothered looking that up so I’ll take your word for it.

 

[ButterTart]

Just went through the list of every Loose Women panellist ever - there are actually 22 who’ve done Strictly

 

[Nancy]

What's your favourite Strictly catchphrase?

 

[Nancy]

Mine is, "It's never too early for a 10 from Shirley!"

 

[Rita]

Is the full line up that has just been leaked correct??

 

[Rita]

Jamie Borthwick
Nick Knowles
Pete Wicks
Tom Dean
Paul Merson
Tasha Ghouri
Sam Quek
Shayne Ward
Fire from Gladiators
Sarah Hadland

 

[rhythm bandit]

Montell Douglas would be a great signing, and another olympian.

 

[Nancy]

Hmmmmm .... I doubt it. No Martin Roberts.

 

[Nancy]

Dave too.

 

[Rita]

Dave too.

Dave who?

 

[Rita]

It’s the two X Factor alumni that makes me sceptical.

 

[Nancy]

Dave who?

The one who's got a bank.

Alexandra was the same year that Aston JLS bombed out fairly early though so wouldn't rule out on that basis.

Good point.

The Snu has leaked it so not really sure how reliable it is.

I would guess most are right but they've missed on one or two.

Martin Roberts or is that just in @Nancy’s dreams?

 

[Nancy]

Beloved BBC daytime TV favourite is latest star to 'join Strictly line-up'

The BBC have their sights set on property expert Martin Roberts.

[FetchFugly]

Martin Roberts or is that just in @Nancy’s dreams?

I know they've had issues with their male pros but the list looks light on female celebs, especially as three men have been announced already.

 

[rhythm bandit]

Pete Wicks and Tasha Ghourie confirmed.

I'm surprised by Pete given his close connection to Zara, otherwise, two low-rent bookings.

 

[Nancy]

Both great signings and pleased to see the BBC signing two celebrities with sensory disabilities this year.

 

[Rita]

A cast member from TOWIE and a former Love Island contestant. Those will be sure to WHET MOOPY’S APPETITES.

 

[FetchFugly]

I don't think Strictly has gone for two reality stars in one series previously. I guess the celeb pool is only so deep.

I know who Pete is but I'm not familiar with Tasha - I see that she was a pro dancer prior to Love Island so she should be capable at least.

 

[FetchFugly]

Shayne Ward and Sarah Hadland confirmed IN

 

[ButterTart]

Sarah Hadland should be great fun. If she doesn’t do her first dance to Heather Proud’s ‘Small’ then they need to fire the entire production team.

[FetchFugly]

Rattling through them now... Tom Dean and Jamie Borthwick confirmed.

 

[disneyteletubby]

The ones I know from children's TV shows - Chris McCausland (Rudi from Me Too!), Sarah Hadland (several characters from Fireman Sam s5, newer Bob the Builder )
Why don't they ask Miss Hoolie?

Scot Squad’s Julie Wilson Nimmo would 'love to do' BBC's Strictly Come Dancing

Ewen also asked if her fellow actor husband Greg Hemphill, who is known for shows such as popular comedy Still Game, would do Strictly or any other reality TV show.

This has all been 100 percent dead on so far.

Pray for our @Nancy and Martin Roberts .

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Montell Douglas is the 12th celebrity to join this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up.

The former Olympian is perhaps best-known to audiences for her role as Fire in the BBC One series Gladiators.

 

[FetchFugly]

I thought they might get through the whole line up this week but apparently not.
