uhhm.. did someone a few pages back say something about snobbishness?
Yes... and I don't care.
The day a Jade Goody clone turns up on Strictly is the day I switch off.
Top Gear's "Star in a reasonably priced car" has never had a TOWIE / Big Brother Housemate (OK Davina has driven) etc etc.
They have only had 1 x page 3 girl (Peta 23 from Essex) which was a joke when they had the first "open day" for the Lacetti.
If Top Gear can keep up the standards then I am sure Strictly can.

Top Gear only needs a 1 day commitment. It's much harder to find celebrities who are able to commit to 20+ hours a week (and that's not even including the filming which takes up the whole Saturday) for a potential 3 months.
Top Gear had James Hewitt on it, who is famous for sticking his dick in Princess Diana. And Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, who was Made In Chelsea before Made In Chelsea even existed.
Katie Price, the archangel of What I Did Next shows, was on Top Gear, too. Is she more worthy than anyone who was on TOWIE or got their boobs out? (both of which she probably has, actually)
Louie Spence was also on, who's irritating enough for that to be a valid excuse.
I'd say the most likely people to be in at the moment are:
Teri Hatcher, 48, Actress
Abbey Clancy, 27, Model
Rebecca Adlington, 24, Swimmer
Dave Myers, 56, Chef
So, I think we've still got a lot of stuff to fill for the next month!
Really don't think Rebecca Adlington is bluffing ,she has told quite a few twitter followers today she wasn't wanted . Seems genuine to me . Few mentions of Nicola Robers today though .
Where did you get that from? I can only find one mention of her on Twitter, and I doubt they'd go for her so soon after having Kimberley last year. One was enough!

I agree, I wouldn't mind having her on, but it's too soon after Kimberley really.
I'd say maybe we'll see a Sugababe like Jade Ewen now they've 'split', but after having a GA member they might be going for someone more current!
Its difficult with 3 new female pros, I guess none of them could really be put with a more challenging celeb. I do not know his hight but from what I see Dave is too short for Natalie. I think he would not work with Ola somehow, rather like Artem and Holly not quite working out. Unfortunatly I really did not take to Karen last year and as I like Dave I do not want that pairing ( I am looking forward to being wrong over Karen) So Kristina and Dave it will be and should work she can do some good fun numbers
The problem is Kristina is smaller than Ola and she had a really tall celeb last year who she was mismatched with - I don't think she'd be as mismatched with Dave as she was with Colin and she has had tall celebs before ie Joe Calzahge, John Barrowman but really she suits short to medium celebs the best. I know some FMs don't care about fairness on here but would it be fair to give her another celeb she could potentially be mismatched with for a second year running? She could still work around the height difference and do something entertaining but I think it still might be a bit of a problem.
Personally I don't think Karen would be a bad call - apparently she was the 'comedy' act with Tuffers on tour - I think I remember someone saying she worked well with him. I also think she'd maybe feel at ease with David and hit it off in a way that she couldn't with Nicky.

Has there been anything to completely deny her appearance for strictly?
I would have thought that she'll likely be due to film for Doctor Who in and around the September-December period, and has other roles in the pipeline is enough to deny her appearance.
Yes... and I don't care.

Bizare comparison as it only takes a few hours and Top gear UK is shown worldwide. Which is why it can attract the likes of Tom Cruise, Michael Fassbender , Cameron Diaz and Hugh Jackman

Fun Strictly fact Claudia's husband used to go out with her.:)
In terms of the "chef, cook, food writer, chief heater-upper" debate, I think they were putting all their foodie eggs in a Paul Hollywood shaped basket, and then he selfishly got divorced and decided he couldn't spare the time (I jest)
Correct! Metro saying that Dave is taking the slot they expected Paul to fill.
They probably map out the cast in terms of types quite early on, and cast around that!
Interesting to note that the past two Sunday's have revealed a strong potential (Teri, Abbey), so I wonder if we'll get another name in the papers tomorrow
WOW at Fiona. Not a big name but I love it when they get a glamorous older woman. Hope this doesn't spell the end for Teri though. She seems less likely, unless they're going for "Battle of the Bond Girls".
Just Googled Tony- it's my sporting ignorance, not his name recognition, that made me never hear of him. He's nearly 70 and a CBE.
So, the weekend papers are suggesting a line-up of-
Fiona Fullerton, 56, Bond Girl
Teri Hatcher, 48, Hollywood Actress
Abbey Clancy, 27, Model
Rebecca Adlington OBE, 24, Swimmer (but has denied on Twitter)
Tony Jacklin CBE, 69, Golfer
Dave Myers, 55, Hairy Biker

How about Karen - she would be around the ideal height wouldn't she
I just mentioned Karen a few posts above Suzy I think she could work well with Dave.
If she does then she would have been ideal height for Vincent as she is only about 5ft 2. She could go to Robin though
I hope to God the BBC DO NOT consider these two!

Anyone like to see the one & only Karl Pilkington? He'd be classic
I thought so!

Tony Jacklin? He's a famous golfer. He'd be interesting as we haven't had a golfer yet.
Abbey is also mentioned in that article once more.
I avoid Golf like the plague (any sport that encourages sweater vests is an instant no-no) but he's quite high profile, it would seem.
Maybe they couldn't get Teri and went for another Bond Girl?

I assume there's some hunks yet to be announced!
