Londoners Diary: Dance queen Lucy Worsley banned from Strictly
Historian Lucy Worsley has a rather unusual pre-nup agreement: she’s not allowed to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

    Thanks for that,


    The bad news is that there's going to be another naffin' programme with Len Goodman!

    Shame. I love Lucy and watch her programmes. I'd have loved to seen her on Strictly.

    LOL. Lucy would have probably preferred to do the programme with one of the male pros, but her husband said it's Len or no-one. :D

    She wouldn't be partnered with Kristina, would she? ;-)

    Very disappointing to click on this thread. The title made me think she'd got legless at Saturday's after-show party, twerked Aljaz, run round the room with Anton's chest-wig shouting 'Look at my merkin!' and then started a punch-up with Aliona over the last vol-au-vent.

    ...and then went out clubbing with Craig and didn't arrive home till Monday morning with a stonking hangover.

    Ah, so THAT'S why Craig was tight lipped about who he was out with!

    I love her too. She seems to be always brimming with mischief that is just under control but might spill out at any moment.

    e. :D

    She would have made an interesting celeb on the show. Sad that her husband doesn't trust her and has no confidence in their marriage.

    They are trying to keep that quiet.

    I love Lucy Worsley. I don't doubt for a minute that she was once a member of the Famous Five (anyone else old enough to understand that reference? :o) She'd have been a hoot.

    It's about time Strictly recruited some celebrity 'istorians - Dr Michael Scott would do very nicely for starters. ;-)

    Or the Scottish guy with the long dark hair. (Why don't we have a lascivious smilie?) :D

    Neil Oliver's been on the "Coast" programme for a very long time.

    "Over the years his hair has progressively grown practically down to his waste and his Scot's accent has got broader and broader.
    I think by next year, we're gonna need subtitles."

    I wouldn't mind Dr John Callow from Most Haunted. He's rather handsome.

    I'd quite like to see Suzannah Lipscombe. I love her. Lucy just irritates me which is frustrating as she features on most of the Tudor programmes and they're my specialist area (I'm a history nut myself)

    The broader it gets the more it makes my toes curl and sends shivers down my spine. :D

    As they say, "You have to have a gimmick to get on in show business."

    I would imagine the early episodes of Coast before he replaced Nicholas Crane as "Top Banana" which turn up on the minor channels now and again, must be a bit embarrassing for him, as his hair was much shorter and his accent nowhere near as broad.

    I'm much more interested in his mind, of course. ;-)

    Historian wise can we have Neil Oliver.

    He's a natural historian and is a huge fan of the show. Imagine that flowing mane in a Paso?! He does Tweet a fair bit about it too (which always makes me laugh- he seems so incongruous in Strictly world!)

    He wouldn't get Paso - that would be too normal.

    In Movie week he'd get something like We dig,dig,dig, dig dig from Snow White and be dressed up as a sparkly tartan clad dwarf with a pick axe in a trench before having to come out and samba.

    Me too if I am honest, was sure it as something she had done or said :cool:

    The first thing I did when I saw he'd been suggested was try and think of some archaeology related songs :blush:

    Just remember, I suggested him first. As a contestant for 2007. :D
