She did the dancing with Ramps for Sport relief I think it was. She's rumoured to be joining and has said she can't say anything.

to be fair, its not as though celebs who've had some training before aren't allowed to do it.

Plus look at DOI - David Seaman and Jessica Taylor did the BBC version and then appeared in the show...

I think she is a cert to do the show personally - probably with Brian or Anton if I had to put some money on

I thought you meant because of things like this from Wikipedia - not that you can trust everything you read on there!

"As well as being an actress, Kara is also highly trained in dance, specializing in Aerobics, Ballet, Choreography, Contemporary, Jazz and Tap."

Actually, she wrote a column in one of the trashier mags this week (closer or something? ) saying that she heard Natalie Cassidy might be taking part but that she isnt and that she'd love to do it in the future. Would she be so sneaky do we think?

I've thought she's a sure thing for SCD for a while now......if she does do i bet she's paired with Brian

OMG - the show hasn't even started and we're already knee-deep in 'previous dance experience' ... :yawn:

ALL trained actors and many presenters have dance experience. And the same goes for many singers who've been to stage school. Kara isn't that different from most other actors and quotes like this will come from the details her agent sends out to try and get her work. It means she would be able to pick up (for example) a dancing scene in something like Pride And Prejudice. It doesn't mean she can do a flawless cha cha cha at the drop of a hat.

She won't have had more than a couple of weeks' training for the Sports Relief show - which will be similar to what she will have had at stage school.

So really not that big a deal for her to participate - although I can already see the threads from 'outraged' posters who want to find excuses to not like her ... :yawn::sleep:

Who would they prefer? Sharon Osborne?

Would love to see her on SCD this year since she is obviously mighty fit

Pairing her with Anton might be a good idea too

/QUOTE]

Don't be cross, Servalan! I like Kara and would like her to be in the show. I was just remembering all the nonsene over Cherie's childhood ballet lessons and Tom's tap video last year (and yes, it was tedious) and wondering if Kara would be dogged by the same sort of thing. If I could find stuff alleging she's an expert dancer, then others will and might harp on about it. I was just thinking aloud ..

I personally don't think Kara should be allowed to do SCD and that she burnt her boats doing the charity dance thing. If she wanted to do the main SCD show she should have held out for that offer imho.

There will be uproar on here all the way through the series if she is on - plus there could be a huge backlash against her given she has already clearly demonstrated she's be a serious contender. We just don't need that kind of thing happening again.

Kara was hosting a chat on FB and I asked if she was doing SCD. She said that she would love to but what with all the rumours going around about her doing it BBC declined her interest.

Then again, Joe keeps posting about her being away quite a bit recently so perhaps she is in training.

We shall see soon enough.

she could be in hiding for celebrity big brother

I hear what you're saying, Buddy - but bear in mind that the 'previous dance experience' mudslinging will happen with or without Kara's participation. :yawn::sleep:

Personally, I'd be fine with her present. The more people who aren't Geri Halliwell, the better.
