Jeremy Vine is the first celebrity to be announced - will he be the first one off?

Anniebach Mon 10-Aug-15 09:32:57

That's a surprise , is it official ?

kittylester Mon 10-Aug-15 10:04:39

I don't care so long as his mum doesn't come in here and push us to vote for him!

Teetime Mon 10-Aug-15 10:32:32

It was from the BBC on Twitter

Teetime Mon 10-Aug-15 10:32:56

Whose Mum was that?

Anniebach Mon 10-Aug-15 10:34:17

It is official , ooooh

nightowl Mon 10-Aug-15 10:40:28

kitty, naughty! grin

Elegran Mon 10-Aug-15 11:02:03

I remember that thread. A good marketing ploy. We have never heard from that mum since.

annodomini Mon 10-Aug-15 11:14:50

As far as we know, Elegran, she may be here under a new name or lurking, watching what we have to say.
Wouldn't it be fun if they also had Jeremy Vine's wisecracking brother, Tim, on Strictly as well?

Elegran Mon 10-Aug-15 11:17:24

That is true, anno

nightowl Mon 10-Aug-15 11:41:11

I think she had been on here before that when she was asking for sponsorship advice about a charity walk she was doing. She used us good and proper.

annodomini Mon 10-Aug-15 12:21:33

Best forgotten, I think.

merlotgran Mon 10-Aug-15 12:57:28

At least I know who Jeremy Vine is. Most of the line ups in previous years have been a total mystery to me.

kittylester Mon 10-Aug-15 13:59:43

Teatime, it was Susanna Reid's mum and, for me, that series of Strictly was spoilt because it seemed impolite to say anything about any other contestant! I still feel cross if I think about it!

yogagran Mon 10-Aug-15 14:02:35

I'm with merlot on this, I often don't know any of the "celebrities"

Teetime Mon 10-Aug-15 14:42:55

No I don't especially if they are from the soaps or sport. I'm usually interested in the has-beens.

Charleygirl Mon 10-Aug-15 16:27:52

Apparently Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan are joining- I have placed my bet already on the one out of the door first.

Anniebach Mon 10-Aug-15 16:37:38

Oh no not Madley , nooooooo

jack Mon 10-Aug-15 17:08:00

There's a rumour that John Prescott has been approached. Watch this space!

kittylester Mon 10-Aug-15 17:10:29

Sorry, Teetime.

rosesarered Mon 10-Aug-15 21:51:14

I went off Strictly for a while , but feel ready for watching some again now.The judges put me off more than anything, Len's twinkly grin, Bruno and his predictable antics etc.We will probably record it and then fast forward past all those annoying bits.

numberplease Mon 10-Aug-15 22:03:43

Aw, I love Bruno! We always watch it, but it gets spoilt for daughter and me, because hubby decides on day one who he thinks should win, and it`s hell around here if they don`t! They never have yet!!

I am pretty much dance-proof - but this performance warms my cockles in an extraordinary way...

From the first notes from the orchestra, it's drama...

Lona Tue 11-Aug-15 09:03:40

Phew! And phew! again!
Thanks for that feetle, you've just reminded me of things I was trying to forget! grin
