Strictly Come Dancing 2018

[Cleoriff]

It's that time of year again folks.

From Monday August 13th they will start revealing the candidates for this years show. I understand the first one will be on that nights episode of the One Show.

Many names being bandied about and people are even putting bets on them? (A bit stupid when there's been nothing official yet)

Anyway names in the mix so far

Cheryl Cole (can't see that happening)

Ashley Roberts  (former Pussycat Doll)

Lee Ryan (from Blue)

Faye Tozer (from Steps)

Les Dennis

Tom Daley

Steph Mc Govern BBC Newscaster.

Dan Walker (Sports Presenter)

Colleen Rooney (can't see that as they have just upped sticks and moved to the US for Waynes football career)

Michelle Keegan (Corrie and Our Girl)

Mark Labbett (The Beast) from The Chase.

Kate Silverstone (BBC Newsreader)

That's all I've got so far and probably half of them are wrong but hey...

What is certain , the judging panel and the presenters remain the same.

Also the guy who will replace the lovely Brendon Cole is Neil Jones. He has been on the show as a back up dancer and is married to last years winning professional Katya Jones

By the way there are three new professionals joining this series

The one on the right looks a bit yummy

It's a deal....

[jonsie]

Sorted! The rest can fight it out between them for the guy on the left

[Glory1]

I'll definitely take the one on the left thanks. He's very dishy 😘

[Cleoriff]

So the first celeb revealed on BBC News this morning is Katie Piper.

A TV presenter. (the lass who was a victim of an acid attack 10 years ago)

[Glory1]

Thanks @Cleoriff. I vaguely remember reading about her attack. So that's one TV presenter. Let's see who the next 'celebrity' is.

[Cleoriff]

Apparently, there will be two more announced on the One Show tonight....

They keep moving the goalposts!

I actually like Katie Piper. She is quite inspirational in the way she got her life back together after that horrendous acid attack. She also set up the Katie Piper Foundation

The next two contestants are actor Danny John Jules.

Appeared in Red Dwarf and Death in Paradise

Faye Tozer from Steps will also be in the show

[Glory1]

I like Danny John Jules. He's not bad dancing to Reggae but how he'll be on SCD is another matter. As for Faye Dozer, I know of Steps but have never seen them perform and wouldn't know one from the other.
