Strictly Come Dancing 2017

[Cleoriff]

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)

Mollie King....

He also paid a very moving tribute to Sir Bruce Forsyth

I'm trembling with anticipation

I think they are doing it like this due to the sudden death of Sir Bruce. It seems disrespectful somehow to make a big thing about a daily celeb reveal...when most of the Strictly team will be mourning his death..::smileysad:

I'm sure you are right and hopefully there will be some form of tribute to Sir Bruce on the first show.

There certainly should be considering how long he hosted the show - bad jokes, fluffed lines and all.

First one of the last 5 has been announced on Good Morning Britain...

It's Charlotte Hawkins one of their presenters

Still to hear the rest...(probably on the One Show tonight)

Launch show confirmed as airing on Saturday 9th September, which is when we find out which celeb is paired with which pro.

[Glory1]

I've never watched Good Morning Britain so no idea who she is.

Thanks for the update @Cleoriff and the date of when the show launches. I hope I know at least one of the final four.

So far rather underwhelmed 🙄

Hopefully someone in the final batch will be from the world of sport.....
