Angela Rippon to become oldest Strictly Come Dancing contestant aged 79

Good for her! 💃

I think she'll be brilliant!

Yep good luck to her. Think she will do okay.

Good on her! I remember her dancing on Morecambe and Wise.

She's one of only two whose names I know, so far, and the only one I'd recognize. 💃

I'm sure she'll do well and get a lot of votes from us Grannies.

Good Luck to her.
She has such enthusiasm and if she has the energy to keep up with the training and the memory to get her routines down quickly, well Go Angela! 💃

If you'd asked me before, I would have said I could have sworn she had already been on Strictly.

She did dance on the Morecombe and Wise Show. How long ago was that?

Yes you're right varian, she wore a white Christmassy dress and looked a bit like Julie Andrews to me.
1976 - I was still at school.

I remember Angela Rippon dancing on the Morecambe & Wise Show! She was amazing! Her legs went on forever. Good luck, Angela! 🤞

Yes I remember her also dancing with Eric and ernir

Ernie

Bet Anton is relieved he's now on the judging panel instead these days😂

She is in fantastic shape, will do well. Can’t believe how good her neck is, like a young woman, mind is saggy now🙄

She really is so good for 79. She will do well, with those long legs !!! I can’t even walk properly, let alone dance and I’m younger than her. Good luck to her!
