Strictly Come Dancing 2019

[Cleoriff]

A little early to start this thread, although the new judge to replace Darcey Bussell has been announced

It's Motsi Mabuse (sister of Oti Mabusi)

Motsi Mabuse, elder sister of Strictly Come Dancing star Oti, has been named as Dame Darcey Bussell's replacement on the BBC One show's judging panel.

Originally from South Africa, Motsi is a former South African champion and German Latin champion and a judge on Strictly Come Dancing's German version.

Mabuse, 38, said she was "absolutely overjoyed" to be joining the panel and hoped to "add her own bit of sparkle".

I don't doubt her credentials at all but can't help wondering how this will work as Oti is still appearing on the show?

Wait for next year's selection

It started off quite well and seems to have gone downhill pretty quickly!!

Given the first three guests, I thought yes ok, I'll watch it. But from 3 down to 10 across I will definitely not be interested at all. And we haven't had the resident must have village idiot announced as yet!

The next contestant Is Alex Hope ex Arsenal and England Footballer.

At least I know her!

And one I don't. Radio 1 DJ

[Cleoriff]

So that's 14 in total. Probably 1 more to be announced.
