Strictly Come Dancing 2022

The next reveal is going to be on This Morning today.

In other Strictly news I’m not a happy bunny as my Strictly mug has a split in the porcelain all the way down. I got it when I saw the SCD tour a few years ago. I expect you can find them online. Trying to remember if it was me or DH who did the last washing up who was to blame. I think it was him ?

That might be true of some tv programmes, Dil694, but it's not the case with Strictly.

Who? All these unknown names.

I went with DD2 to enquire about a house once she wanted to view and the estate agent told us Tiny Temper lived in the road. I stupidly said, oh that will be nice for the GCs to have like minded company.
It was some rapper called Tinie Tempah!?

I’ve not heard of him either Pittcity

If there are TV programmes I do not like I wouldn’t go on a thread about it I would just pass it by.

They've just announced the first one I've never heard of. Tyler West is a DJ on Kiss FM.

It’s not even a fair or accurate summation - there’s quite a bit more involved than that!

Strictly is just a load of overpaid ‘celebs’ getting their faces on tv - no thanks!

Thank you for sharing that insight.

I guess we'll all just not watch now, based on that

Seriously, why come onto a "fan" thread, and write a bitter, unpleasant comment like that? If you really feel the need to denounce a very popular programme, why not start an "anti-Strictly" thread so all like-minded posters can share their views, and leave the fan thread to those who like it.

Looking forward to it all.

Oh, I must put in a good word for Ritchie, I for one think he’s great. Always cheery and well informed. Never screeches like the dreaded Zoe Ball.

I agree.
Richie often reports for The One Show and seems to be game for anything.

I loved Alma's Not Normal starring Jayde too.

Another vote for Claudia, she doesn’t take herself seriously and makes me giggle.

I really live Claudia - she makes me laugh.

I agree about Claudia too but my family love her and dislike Tess. I don't mind Tess - she does the job she is there for and does it well!

I agree re Claudia. She thinks she's so funny. She's not.

I am also a fan of Strictly. Usually I know only 2 or 3 "celebrities" but this year to date the only two I have never heard of are Jayde and Richie but no doubt I will over time.

It is padded out too much but that is when I make myself another cup of coffee or take a trip to the loo. I do enjoy Saturday evenings when it starts. I would be happy for Claudia to take a one-way ticket anywhere and for the two female members on the panel to be replaced. I do like Craig and Anton.

I wonder how her professional will overcome the challenge of Ellie's height. They are usually very creative so it will be interesting to see.

Ellie always seems to be a lovely person when interviewed. I will be rooting for her

Ellie Simmonds has joined up.

That's good. She looks as though she is up to a challenge and seems very nice.

I’m looking forward to it too, it doesn’t matter to me if they have minor celebrities as contestants as it’s so much more: the dancing, the music, the costumes and makeup. I have no problem with Richie who is from our neck of the woods and a West Brom fan too, I think Claudia has a great sense of humor, she doesn’t take herself too seriously whereas Tess does seem to - a friend went to Strictly and was seated behind Tess who apparently ate a lot of Polo mints but only a half at a time. I also love to talk about the show with my sister-in-law when we call her on Tuesdays. I can’t wait for it to begin and those who don’t like it can watch something else.

I enjoy the dancing, I record it and just watch the dancing and fast forward the gushing.

Ooo When does it start?

Love the show ... always have! BUT I am away on holiday in September for 1 week and really hope I don't miss the start

After the first two were announced I have betted (no money involved!) that Will Mellor will win.

Shame I no longer like the programme. Too little dancing, too much filler.

Bit difficult to make that decision when we don’t even know the rest of the contenders. Let alone seen them dance.
