Strictly Come Dancing 2017

Cleoriff — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 07:56:42 GMT

It's that time of year again....Some love it and others hate it....

However, BBC have announced the first 'celebrity' to join the line up for Strictly Come Dancing 2017.

It's Mollie King from the girl band The Saturdays (Frankie Bridge from the same group appeared in 2014)

I will watch the first show and take it from there. Watch anything here at the moment thanks to Modbro and the various iplayer and tv apps

We will soon get you hooked @jonsie

Even if you aren't fussed about the dancing....then there are other things to look at

That makes two of us @Cleoriff. Though I must say his face is familiar. I must have seen him in something else.

Cleoriff — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 09:01:19 GMT

I think he was in some episode of Doctor Who....but I don't watch that much either....:smileywink:

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2017

Glory1 — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 09:13:47 GMT

Again I haven't watched much of Dr Who for a few years now. Could be I saw him in that but I've a feeling it was one of the cop/crime shows I watch that I saw him. But just couldn't tell you which one....🤔

I would have seen him in Spooks! Thanks @jonsie

Glory1 — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 10:30:58 GMT

Well I would've seen him in Taggart, Law and Order, Silent Witness, Criminal Justice and Spooks. No wonder his face was familiar to me. Thanks @jonsie for the info. Drives me mad when I recognise an actor but can't think where I've seen him/her.

You and me both @Marjo. I would love to see him on Strictly.

Funnily enough she plays it a bit dowdy in Emmerdale. Never seen her look like that. I also wondered why she had 'left' the soap... temporarily ..
