Sooooo, excited, I do love me dancing!

#cha cha cha-ing off the thread.#

Ah the smell of the fake tan, the glittery dresses, the rippling muscles. Only a few days to go now.

Looking forward to Anton, Brendon,......................and Kevin.

Lovely Kristina, Ola and Natalie.

Roll on Saturday


:-D :-D

Celebrities :-S :-S I only know four of them :-D

still, I love the show - wonder who the "John Sergeant" of the show will be?

I love the glitz and glam of the show,
a feel good programme.

deffo - makes my Saturdays something to look forward to :-D

Right ladies, I have my copy of the TV Times to hand.............

First show is on SUNDAY at 8pm.

Presumably this is the introduction, and the pairing of the contestants and the professional dancers.

Then I presume there will be a two week break, as usual, and the programme proper begins on a Saturday.

Be still my beating heart!!!!

I wonder who Anton will be lumb............erm, partnered with this year!

:-0 :-0 ;-) ;-)

Seen the latest pics in the papers?

Andys' Mum in a killer diller dress, looking over her shoulder, a la starlet.

Pixie Lott looking cute.

Claudia with her toenails painted, cotton wool between the toes, walking barefoot along the road.

Yep, we are back, warts and all.

:-D :-D :-D

Just giving this thread a nudge, cos we begin our dancing adventures tomorrow at 8-pm.

:-) <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Ann, less than 8 hours until we do the soft shoe shuffle!

SPOILER ALERT. It has been in all the papers, so nuffink secretative about it.

The show was filmed on Wednesday. Bruce is going to make a 'guest' appearance. Why?

Judy Murray is paired with Anton [he may stand a chance this year] and Gregg Wallace is paired with Aliona.

Why do the papers do this?

#walks off stomping!#

:-D :-D :-D

Can't wait :-D :-D

I enjoyed that...don't have brighten up a Sunday evening :-D

Actually I thought it fitting that Bruce should appear, to biw out and wish them good luck. :-)

It seems that Brucie has not gone after all! He will be coming back for a Charity show, and the Christmas show. So it seems he will be popping in and out during the series.

Thought the two girls did very well, they were quirky!

Love Craig and Len, they are the funniest thing.

Dont know if Tim will do well, but he will have a heck of a go, trying.

Thought it was quite insulting to introduce Imelda May and Smokey Robinson. Surely it should be the other way around, he was been singing and writing songs for over 50 years!

Cant wait until the show proper starts.

:-D :-D :-D

anyone else think Jennifer from Mrs Brown's Boys is the spitting image of Liz McDonald off Corrie?

brilliant intro to Strictly - nice pairings and just love Claudia!!!

Really enjoyed it. trouble is - I forgot to record it.

Agree MotownGirl - Tim might not do very well. Looking forward to see him trying though.

Suprised to see Brucie on tonight - but thought that it was a good idea - nice way to pass on the batton.

Will be supporting Alison - as she is a local girl.

Rachel Riley, who was a contestant last year, has confirmed that she and Pasha [her partner last year] are an item.

It must be very hard to be wrapped around your partner, dancing, for 8 hours a day, without getting very friendly.

However, if you have a solid relationship, then it should not be a problem

:-0

Outraged :-|

Agree with you Ann C

UPDATE.

Just to let you dancing dollies know. The first show will be next Friday night, 26th September.

The first six couples will be dancing, and the next seven couples will be on Saturday night.

I knew that Kevin from Grimsby has a sister who is now one of the professional dancers, but I did not know Kevin was engaged to Karen. another dancer on the show.
