Hyper-ringah, but I think she'll be AMAZING, so I don't care.

She has ridiculously long legs, I'm sure if she gets the chance she will be a great at the Argentine Tango. Actually all ballroom in general I think she'll be good at….
Maybe Aljaz and Pixie? another hot to trot couple
Never gonna happen.
Aljaz won last year so will not get anyone considered to be an obvious contender.
never say never ;-)
Sorry, but I say "never" to this - Aljaz will more likely get Alison (a partnership I would love)...if not, then Judy.
Me too.
I think she'll be great.
Still, her stage school training will help.
Her fit model boyfriend should have signed up instead.;-)
Considering she went to a performing arts school, is trained in dance and ballet and has learned choreography since the age of 6, if she doesn't win I'd be very surprised. It has to be said, it must kind of suck to have her career in pop music basically dead by the age of 23 and reduced to doing Strictly so soon.
I don't think Strictly is always about dead careers, it's not like she is in the jungle eating kangaroo penis yet.
I wonder why Kara never got that treatment, she went onto win and is by all accounts maybe the most popular winner (her or Jill anyway) to the wider audience.
She had that romance with Artem.
Predicting a possible 9 or two week 1. ;-)
If anything a "showmance" would usually put people off. I think it might be more the judges didn't make her their pet like they did Denise and Natalie. I think in Denise's case it didn't help she had James as a partner either.
I'll put her in the same group as Dani Harmer and DVO. They all attended stage school from a very early age (Pixie at age 5) and were appearing in West End shows before they fiinished school. Kelly only went to stage school later on.
Pixie even played the part of a ballroom dancer in her video "Broken Arrow".

Haha I know I was saying it also, its either going to be good for her or very very bad lol
... yet.
Strictly is for BBC contracted folks looking to lose weight, retired sports personalities, daytime TV presenters, famous people's wives/exes and soap actors. It is one step above Celebrity Big Brother at this point.
Which category did Colin Salmon fall into? Sure, there are loads of reality people, pop starlets, soap actors etc but there have been some interesting signings too over the years and good people, by which I mean genuine people. Given most of them at outset are unknown, it really is about the process of learning to dance and how they are able (or not able) to forge a connection with their dance partner.
Jobbing actor out of work in between seasons on a superhero soap opera... so, soap actor.
Nah, Colin was in work at the time to his detriment on the show. He's a proper actor.
OK, another few for you. Which of your categories fitted Felicity Kendall? Or john Sergeant, bless him. Hairy Dave -- is there a category for him?
Admittedly there aren't enough poets, true musicians, jazz men or novelists, serious journalists or scientists on SCD -- whether because uninterested or because not sufficiently well-known -- but not everyone who has taken part falls exactly into your boxes.
I know he was in work. I watch Arrow and I am aware he was filming for 24. However Arrow is a superhero soap opera and he filmed 24 on a break between that show's seasons. He might be a "proper actor" but Arrow is still a superhero soap opera.
Felicity Kendall... jobbing actor, out of regular work since Rosemary and Thyme ended.
John Sargeant... BBC employee looking to lose some weight.
Hairy Dave... BBC employee looking to lose some weight.
Kimberly Walsh... I'd put her in the Alisha Dixon/Sophie Ellis Bextor bracket of flagging pop star trying to branch out and appeal to the public again, which Pixie will soon be joining.
I hope he gets Allison :cool:
