Yep - I see Vanessa Feltz has confirmed she's in    That ought to be ermmm... interesting? 

First Lauren Harris and now vanessa  you'll be telling me myleene bloody Klass is doing it next 

I do enjoy Strictly. I like it much more than all the other celebrity entertainment programmes. Looks like The One Show are featuring the male contestants on  their programme.

I have watched X-Factor in the past, but I was not a regular and have not seen it in a few years now.

Strictly for me is so much more engaging, the contestants having to improve as the show progresses and challenged via an assortment of dances. They also have some great professionals.

I love SCD too EC ...

  We should have some good numbers on the thread then 

Yes, we usually have a good few EC ...and it's usually very gentle

If memory serves I joined in last year and recall there seemed to be some "discussion" about the male professionals. It would appear some FM's like certain dancers!

I don't know WHAT you mean

I was a bit of a fan of Dani last year.

Think I'll join in the banter on here for Strictly, I loooooooove it, far more class than that x-factor tripe 

I bet Anton gets Vanessa

Good call  I wish they would let him have a good partner for once 

I just get this feeling that Vanessa will try to lead all the time could be wrong

OMG

This is great news...

I sort of kinda fancy Susanna Reid. I have already picked my winner  I also know that she runs marathons so is pretty fit and she does the newsreader dance numbers for Comic Relief or one of the charity shows Children in Need. Got a finalist stamped all over it. GO SUSANNA !!!

ah it was you  I knew someone on here had a fancy for her 

be prepared for shouts of unfair etc in the thread as she has already had training to do the CIN special thing she did with Robin Windsor

Yes, it's me. 

I will vigorously defend her dancing honour 

another for you  confirmed on The One Show

 Golfer Tony Jacklin 

  <<<<<   whose that EC 

Just been watching it MrsH 

Seems like a good inclusion.

I thought you were an avid BB viewer. You should probably recognise her!

Let me know if you can't figure it out and I will tell you (or someone may beat me to it) 

well you confused me as I thought you were all BB'd out and wanted to move on ......  reverting back to Sophie for an avvie didnt seem right so had a wobble and wondered if she just looked like someone else 

good choice 

You are right MrsH, I am quite BB'd out, but I liked this picture of Sophie with her bottom lip out like a disappointed child 

But I have changed my avvie three times already today (and likely to do so again before the end of play). Erin used to be the arbiter of my avvie's.

I feel like a change, but it can confuse people 

Were you a Sophie fan then?

I quite liked Sophie and found her the most grounded of the females in and now out of the house 

I'm seriously flummoxed by your avi EC. Who is it?

 I see that I have caused something of a slight confusion today, your the second person to quiz me over the avvie. If you scroll up Cologne I have put a detailed explanation, but it's Sophie L. 

A golfer from waaay back

This just gets better and better.

Could this be THE best SCD ever - it sure could.

I am so looking forward to this years show.

aha thought that would brighten your day 

just need a few younger Male hotties now then I shall be  with you

Yay... roll on next weekend.   Looks like they're going to drip feed us one contestant a day, doesn't it?  I like it...     My Mum used to love Tony Jacklin.

and yes to the male hotties please.....    the only other male I've seen rumoured to be going in is Dave Myers from the Hairy Bikers    Now... I like him.. but he's not exactly tottie...
