1st competitor announced on the Chris Evans' Show - Jeremy Vine :-\ ........ ::)
His name was the tenuous link too :D
-
I dont watch 'Strictly' but do listen to radio 2 all day. Gives me someone else to yell at ;)
-
Especially him ::)
Anyone announced this morning, I was in the garden working hard .........
-
Dont think so. But then I only hear from 6.30 - 8ish as go out then. Sometimes catch the last few mins.
yes, I shout at him a lot.. you dont want to know were I think those horns should live ;)
-
Ainsley Harriot is the 2nd one to announce.
-
I thought he'd done it before :-\
-
So far not good contestants rather poor, hope it improves
-
I adore Strictly - look forward to it every year!! Was sad to read that Robin Windsor isn't one of the pros this year - can't think why - he's always been popular. Probably best I don't get started talking strictly.....
-
I think he had an injury followed by doing his own Show?
-
I know he was injured, but he dearly wanted to carry on - I think reading his twitter he's slightly miffed lol. I see a girl from Eastenders has been named as the 3rd contestant - so far I at least recognise all the contestants which is a first lol
-
I don't know the girl from East Enders - our family has enough 'east enders'-type stuff going on I never watch the soaps :D
-
Lol I used to watch them all years ago, but then stopped, too busy with family etc, but recently got hooked on Eastenders again - I'm annoyed at myself, but life on Eastenders is so bad and far fetched that it makes me feel quite content with my own ::) Strictly and Bake Off I just cannot give up....
-
Peter Andre just been named as seventh contestant ......Mmmmm, I think he will be good but......not sure!
-
Katie Derham
-
:-\
-
;D can't remember, will have to wind back the page …….. who, who is Carol Kirkwood ?
-
Does the weather in the morning on the BBC.
-
another fan of Carol Kirkwood here. I like Katie Derham too. Did anyone see her in Maestro some years ago?
-
I missed Maestro.
Weather in the morning: in our house it's when we look out the bedroom window ;D
-
Peter Andre will be interesting....
-
CLKD - carol kirkwood is the one who does the weather on Chris Evans show around 7.20am.
-
There's a mid-wife involved now ;)
-
Jamelia from loose women is another in the line up :-\
-
Crikey - it will take weeks to vote that lot off ;D
-
Jeremy Vine, Ainsley Harriott, Kellie Bright (Eastenders), Georgina May Foote (Corrie), Katie Derham, Carol Kirkwood, Peter Andre, Daniel O'Donnell, Anthony Ogogo (boxer), Jay McGuiness (boy band), Anita Ranir (The One Show), Jamelia, Helen George (call the midwife).
-
:thankyou:
-
Iwan Thomas (athlete/TV presenter), Kirsty Gallacher (Sky sports news anchor)
That makes 15 so far I think last year there were 16, 8 men and 8 women :)
-
Ewan Thomas :-* …..
I think he presents a programme at the end of MotoGP with Colin Edwards and James Toseland :-* :-*
-
??? on all the reports and articles it says Iwan Thomas ::)
And Twitter, and Wikipedia and Google and Facebook............. :)
-
Isn't the spelling Iwen Welsh and Ewan Scottish?
-
:thankyou:
I wonder whether he'll be able to dance ?
-
we will not have to wait too long to see :)
-
Kirsty G could be one to watch - didn't she win the gymnastics part of the series The Games a few years ago?
-
He was being teased at Silverstone MotoGP earlier on ;D
-
Ooh Gleb! :hotflash: ;D
-
:-\
what a start :bounce: ……….
-
From what I could see in the group dance, I think the girl from Call the midwife will be good.
-
good line up. looking forward to it :)
-
I love this programme. I can't stop laughing at Daniel O'Donnell ..... He is so laid back that I am wondering if he's on some sort of tranquilliser. ;D
-
Peter Andre's impromptu 'paso' pose .... if he can do that with no training Jeanette should have no trouble getting him to do the Latin attitude!
-
About twenty years ago Danial O'Donnel was appearing in our town, and me and a friend used to have a real crush on him :love: :oops:...We went to his show and we baked him a cake! After the show we went back stage and gave him the cake and took turns to sit on his knee..... :meltdown: :madeyes:.......
So twenty years later the crush has worn off......but I was telling my six year old Grandaughter the story......she was rolling about laughing and said...'Nana do you still think he's sexy'?
Errr the answer is no lol, and I just cannot imagine him being any good......arrrrr poor Danial! ;)
-
Apparently those from the South are having to travel to Northern Ireland each weekend in order to cast their votes - however, voting can only be accepted once for each pair from a phone …….. if someone else tries to vote for the same person/s you get 'you have already cast your vote from this phone' …… ::)
-
When I did a search this didn't show up :-\ hence my new thread
-
So happy that Anton was top of the leaderboard. After all the duffers he has had! My favourites so far are Jeremy Vine and Anton's girl and of course Carol! Not saying of course they are the best dancers - that goes to PA and Jay.
Bramble
-
He might be in with a chance of winning for a change!
-
I was rooting for Jay, but after looking at the eBay clips of him dancing, I am not so sure......he was a good dancer before strictly and it seems unfair on the others. I know some of them have done a bit of dancing before ,bit Jay really could dance......
-

You just can't compare him with his six years of dance training to people like Carol, Ainsley and Jeremy who had none.
-
This argument will whittle on ::) - however, the Producers probably need to have a few Selebs with dance background otherwise the programme could be a farce with no-one improving. Some are actors so will be able to bring that skill to the performance. Others are athletes who should have stamina. But I tend to agree that 6 years is a little 'steep' ....... good last night won't it!
-
Lots of good dancing. Jeremy Vine just doesn't do it for me, looks awkward. Daniel was better this week, but only good at "in hold" dancing.
-
I think Daniel and Jamilia will be in the dance off :-\ (don't tell if you already peeked! )
Jeremy looks awkward whatever he does. :-X
-
I would have preferred Jeremy to have gone ;D …… I think Daniel required more practice. Kristina always gets so emotional which can't be helpful to the partner!
-
Who is voting for Jeremy? Can't really see him lasting much longer. But the voting public are a fickle lot.
-
Now there's an idea! ;D
-
:o ……. he probably has a following on Radio2, but I turn him off as he tends to push his opinions and talks over anyone ringing in who doesn't agree with his! :beat:
-
I like JV - he comes across as a really nice, self-deprecating bloke. And yes, he can't dance but he tries. A bit like Bambi on ice!
Bramble
-
Getting bored now ::) ……. whose going tonight? Carole or Katie …….. Anton isn't doing Katie favours although each dance has to be learnt in a week :-\. How about Bruno's outburst ;D - don't think it would have been noticed if Tess hadn't drawn attention to it :D
-
Think Katie will be safe enough, Carole I'm not so sure about. Jamelia wasn't too good either.
-
You can predict the next batch to go (not necessarily in order). But it's obvious the ones that will be in the last 4 or 5.
-
I reckon the following celebs will be the last 5 in the competition.
In no particular order:
Anita
Helen
Jay
Katie
Peter
-
Plus the one that did that really good jive (can't remember her name). I think Katie could go either way after this weeks disaster.
-
Kellie, forgot about her. She's very good too. Katie struggles with her legs, stiff whilst doing Latin. Maybe some WD40 would help.
-
WD40 ……… perhaps there's a reason why her legs appear stiff, do you think she drops by here ;)
-
She may well do. She is a good dancer, but something awful happens during Latin dances. She does have very long legs, so maybe that's a problem for her. I put her in my 5 as I reckon public will keep her in for a while.
-
Her legs are the same length as my own in that they go from the floor to her hips ;D
-
;D ;D ;D
-
Not sure who will go this week. There were a few poor routines tonight. Katie, Jamelia, Carol, Jeremy.
-
I think there was too much hype on the Hallowen Theme :-\ and less concentration of footwork ::)
-
Peter was good at the beginning of the series but others are are catching up now.
-
He doesn't alter his attitude - he's Peter Andre what ever dance he's given. Probably due to concentrating on the legs and feet and not enough brain to remember to get in the zone ::)
-
Carole: Katy: Jeremy - to go tonight ?
-
I would think so too, but who knows?
-
Glad to see the Strictly thread again (smile)
-
Jeremy went :P :-X
I think that he was too tall for his partner ::)
Oh those costumes :-*
-
It was time for him to go. Jamelia next, then ???
-
Probably - then it will get really 'close' :o …….. probably Katie then Jay ………
-
I think Peter may go soon. He's good but .....
-
He needs to be less 'peter' and more in character!
-
Right decision. Jeremy is a nice guy and great entertainment but it was his time to go.
-
I think Jeremy himself would agree with you.
-
Bet security is tight up in Blackpool :-\
Whose to go later ? Katy ………. or Jay?
-
Will see how they dance first. I think Jay is good. Jamelia must be due to go, she's been in the bottom two so many times.
-
I think Jay might stay in till the end.
-
Not long to wait :)
-
I think jamilia will go...
-
Great show!
-
I reckon it will be Jamelia too or maybe Peter.
-
Kate
-
Peter didn't do well but it depends upon the fan base ……… though once a person has phoned in from a land-line another person can't use the same land-line if they want to vote for someone else ::) - I get 'you have already voted for ???? ' :-X
-
Do it through website CLKD, that's what I use. Much easier.
-
:thankyou: it's unlikely that Himself would want to vote and as yet, I haven't decided :o too close to call ;)
-
Ola Jordan has 'walked' ::)
-
Always felt she might go sooner rather than later, especially after what happened with her husband.
-
Apparently she's staying until the end of the series :-\ ……… she has raised concerns about the 'judging' and various results. Does seem sometimes that the dances are talked up but the Judging Panel don't always seem to follow through with the scoring paddles >:(
I think that Peter should have gone because the judging is supposed to be on the night's dancing ……. and Jamillia has certainly improved over all.
-
I agree CLKD , Jamillia was much improved
PN x x
-
I agree CLKD , Jamillia was much improved
PN x x
I agreed as well that she had improved a lot but suspected that she would still go. If it had been my choice, Peter would be gone.
-
Yep. It's supposed to be judged 'on the night' ::)
-
I have a confession, I can't wait until Sunday to find out the result I check a website on Saturday night before going to bed ☺️
-
Did someone spike Gleb's food :o
-
Why do you ask CLKD? ??? (http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php???)
-
His face did look pretty swollen. Wonder what he was allergic to.
-
Dancing!
-
;D
-
He danced OK last night …… now watching the 'results' ;)
-
Thought Anita would be in dance off. Hey ho.
-
Could believe the bottom two. The judges looked shocked too.
-
Well I had final 5 wrong, only 2 made it & they will be in next week's final. Not sure I agreed with dance off decision though.
-
Can't alter it now ;)
-
I assume Jay will win as he's the only one that hasn't been in the bottom 2.
-
That's it! Feet up! Waiting to see how the Judges manipulate the scores :-X ………. don't want Anton to win because I really will think it's not kind of honest :'(
-
Judges scores don't count tonight, just public vote. However, a lot have protested about Anton & Katie getting final place, so as a result they maybe will be first out.
-
When Craig gave a '4' and sometimes the Judges talk down/up the performance/s but don't score accordingly :-X - pity we can't see the public vote as it comes in !
-
>yawn<
Apart from Georgia and Giovani I think that the other show dances were messy :-\
Watching Ecars now in the sunshine …...
-
I am glad about who won! :)
-
Georgia should have won.
-
I voted for Georgia....I have never seen anyone look so miserable to win as Jay did, and his show dance was just boring...... :-\
-
When I think back to how Jay shook with nerves in the 1st programme he's done well. But he did have dance experience :-\
I wanted Georgia to have won but Kevin and Kelly had worked hard too. Did you turn over to the Red Button ……… meant I was late for my bath ::)
-
They all deserved to win. It won't have done either Geogia's or Kellie's careers any harm, when they move on from soap opera land. They have shown what they are capable of and bring ready made fans. Watch out West End.
-
Well Craig said he'd have Georgia in any of his productions. They were all good, but think Jay had a bigger fan base right from the start. I'm glad he won, but would have been equally happy if Georgia or Kellie had won. The only decent "show dance" was done by Kellie & Kevin. The celebrities can only do what is choreographed for them by their partner. Kevin clearly has that skill in oodles.
-
Yes, the show is a brilliant place to show choreographic skills for the professionals, but they are limited by how able the celeb is. Kevin has been in his element, so original and so much fun. What a lovely man!
-
I don't watch Eastenders and couldn't take to Kellie, I really didn't mind Jay won but I voted for Georgia.
It's nice to see all the celebs who took part this year, I'd forgotten Kirsty Gallagher was in it and the boxer.
I'm going to miss Strictly and it takes two :'(
-
Anyone going to the Stritcly 'on the road' shows?
-
I wanted Georgia to win and yes I do have tickets for the roadshow... never been before so I hope its good! LOL
-

I wanted Georgia to win too and Kellie would have been a good alternative for me. I was disappointed when Jay won. He just didn't click for me. The roadshows are great fun. I saw one earlier this year. I hadn't booked but a friend asked me to come when someone else was ill. I only paid half price for the ticket and we had a front row seat at Wembley Arena.
-
I was looking for 2016 but of course, we haven't got there yet ;D
Has anyone seen Lisa Riley this week?
-
Yes. How different does she look!
-
Will it last though? Wonder what Robin thinks?
-
She looks amazing, but it's a huge loss over 10 months.
-
I weigh 8stone 3 :o
