I have tickets for the launch show and it says entry into the site at 3pm and entry into studio at 5pm...sooo...realistically what time do we need to turn up to start to queue, we are coming from suffolk and realise we need an early start...but...how early to defo make it?
Any hints and tips really are most welcome...ooh ooh can we change once in the tv centre and are there lockers does anyone know? really can't walk too far in ultra high glamourous shoes.
Thanks for all your help x

I don't know about lockers but I would get there for about midday.
Did you get my PM Brimstone

Yes.

If you are in first 50 or so in queue once you get in bagsy some chairs first then one by one go and change. Then hand in all bags / seats and other paraphernalia to the left luggage people. You usually can only take in a small bag into the studio that has to either go on your lap or under your chair.

You are allowed to take screw top bottle soft drinks with you so suggest you take a bottle of water with you.

In the waiting area you are likely to have to wait approx an hr/hr and half so keep tour chair as long as possible as there are only chairs/tables for approx 70/80 people and usually there are 400 odd people in there. Tonight they were filming 4 shows (3 on top of Strictly) so the place was pretty packed

Hope this helps.

No lockers but there is a free ticketed left luggage/cloakroom thing.

Hi Brimstone, when I went last year, we got there around 11am and there were about 70-80 people ahead of us. Well worth taking something to sit on (a rug you can roll up) and taking it in turns to wander around Westfield centre (get a coffee from there). Once in, the loos get packed with ladies trying to change, but it's manageable. They confiscate your phone and camera at the beginning, but you get a ticket for getting those things back at the end. Very slick. Have a wonderful time! Oh, and obviously take a small brolly....just in case.

Celebs : Looking FAB! Jerry, Denise and Victoria

I don't like Kimberleys dress at all though I have to say!.... She looks dumpy in it, and is practically spilling over the top!

You need to see a full length of her from a different angle.

She reminds me of Katy Perry a little too.

They were all wearing the same earrings. Part of the costume!

Actually that dress was really nice and elegant when you saw it close up. It doesn't look that brilliant in the photo I agree. She is very very slender though - I was surprised.

Thanks Dilly, i really enjoyed that. What a great presenter aswell. The shimmying was great by most, poor Michael though didn't seem to have a clue

I realised that earlier when I watched a few other videos from it. Now I think I do want a pair!

Hah I had the same thought, although Nicky didn't actually do the shimmy so he could be just as bad.
