Hi,

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but I thought it'd be interesting to have a thread to see who we can see blagging a ticket or two to the live shows throughout the series.

Did anyone notice anyone of note last night? It was surprising. I only clocked Darcey and Chris Hollins' parents.

    I read somewhere that one celeb was under the impression that the free tickets available to any random celeb have been stopped. It kind of looked that way last night- obviously the two you mentioned have connections to the show so wouldn't apply.

    It was nice to see what looked like general public getting the front row seats, or even if it was just family and friends of the show stars. It always winds me up to see random celebs concealing yawns in the best seats.

    I saw Matt Cutler's brother in the front row but I don't think that counts as a celebrity.

    I imagine Christine might be a guest of Rav, and Kara a guest of Natalie or Ricky G?

    Hopefully the contestants have been given a couple of guest tickets per show and told that's it, rather than an open invitation to bring as many celebs as they can chase up!

    Darcey will be judging at some point so it is reasonable to see her there regularly.

    It was a refreshing change not to see wall to wall celebrities there because their Agent thinks it's a good place to be seen. At last the BBC seem to have taken on board all the complaints about the licence fee paying public not being able to get tickets.

    I saw a few lookalikes but didn't see any celebs. Well done BBC! I better get tickets this year because I've basically convinced myself I'm getting them. Picked out my outfit already (sad!) :o

    I think I saw Shirley Ballas sat there too (if not, she has a damn good lookalike!)

    I'm sure she was there, after all, she did choreograph the dance. :)
