I thought he'd signed for Hursterpierpoint

He'll be busy on Saturdays.

I always intend to ignore but my wife loves it so I get drawn in over time but only as a distraction to being on here or at the game should we be lucky enough to have a 1500 kick off. Must confess to being impressed by the quality of dancing as the series goes on. The only reality tv programme we watch too.

I don’t get the hate

I predict Toyah will be SHIT, as will the annoying Go Compare guy be

I wasn't going to read this thread till I saw this post.

It would spice things up if we could watch the contestants being kicked and spat on in training.
This week we reveal who punched Toyah and just how close the Go Compare bore was to getting stabbed to death in training.

The rumour doing the rounds hands in Mumsnet is they're going to get the Co Compare! guy to dance to his own TV advert.





That will be box office.

Great suggestion.

Done.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

As he has a regular show on Radio Wales and is often photographed supporting activities in Wales I would be surprised

 

[A mex eyecan]

oh no, not this cobblers for the next x weeks. Luvies sucking up all over, ‘oh thats the greatest waltz ever’ until ‘that’s the greatest greatest waltz ever’ tosh, tosh, tosh.

20 years of this amazes me.

My other half loves it, good excuse to go out for a good walk.

Oh, my mistake. Someone I worked with in Worthing said he lived along the road from her in Findon!!

Strictly Come Dancing 2024: the contestants – ranked!

The 20th anniversary series’s hopefuls include the Go.Compare man and the first ever blind contestant – will they be enough to overshadow the scandals? We rate the lineup

www.theguardian.com

Stellar line-up for the 20th anniversary edition. Sad to see the lack of LGBTQIA+ contestants meaning this will be the first time in 6 years there are no same sex couples. Lets just hope that the BBC have gone big on safeguarding now and going forward to save this much loved and cherished but now tarnished show.

 

[Muzzman]

Are they gonna show the regular rehearsal beatings the contestants get this year?

Might watch it if they do.

 

[junior]

Blind guy dances better than Paul Merson

 

[METALMICKY]

Off topic a bit but my money is on Anthony Joshua for Strictly in 2026. And his professional dancer will take him out in rehearsals with a left hook in the first!

 

[crodonilson]

Despite the controversy Strictly 2025 has got off to a flying start.

Anyone who witnessed Strictly history being made last weekend will attest to that with the very first Bollywood show dance which went down an absolute storm with no dry eye in the house.

Now there will be more history made with two new theme weeks, Icons and Vicars & Tarts.

Icons week will celebrate some of the most iconic music performance, from rock acts such as Wet, Wet, Wet and Status Quo to R n B superstars like Usher and Eagle Eye Cherry.

Icons Week will be shimmying onto screens on Saturday 2 November
