Definatly Natalie just cannot bear her as soon as she opens her mouth plus all the publicity she has already gone for before the show even starts. Also have a feeling Jo Wood is going to be very annoying.

my vote is for sonia, i simply cannot stand the woman in any way

Another vote for Natalie I'm afraid, she's already annoying me, and I'm not exactly Vincent's biggest fan.

Much as I love the Joe/Kristina pairing, it will be hilarious if he can't dance at all

I would have thought that would be difficult to believe with Ian being gay and all?!

Not being able to see any of the pre-show stuff here in Europe, I can't form an opinion yet about any of this years celebs.

I'm afraid it's looking like Jo Wood "model and entreprenuer"


or in the real world some women famous for being married to a Rolling Stone who has dumped her for a younger bird.

Didn't know there was a celebrity called sonia in ths year's show

If only there was ...!

I'm surprised she's never been asked - maybe they could go for the Reynolds Girls, too?

Hello again Agent. I'm nearly recovered from the Austin trauma last year. My therapist says I'm doing well.

If he 'comes aht' like JS I shall die laughing.

If sonia was on it, people would only complain about previous dance experience.

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

We do not want to see your chest.
We do not care that you are going to show your chest
Tess is the only one who wants you to show your chest

Do us all a favour, nip into the loos with Tess for a couple of minutes before the show starts and get the fondling and chest showing out of the way then

Reading this thread I am so suprised that Natalie seems to be the one people think will be annoying. Whenever I've seen her interviewed I think she comes across extremely well. She's very down to earth and seems a lovely young woman. I actually thought she would be one of the more likeable ones out of the female celebs. I don't find her annoying at all. Maybe everyone is confusing her with her EastEnders character, who I did find slightly annoying towards the end. But as far as I'm concerned Natalie is a funny, bright and perfectly pleasant person.

I'm of that opinion too, yentson. I have seen a couple of clips from interviews recently, and natalie comes across as very pleasant, and articulate, too

I'm glad it's not just me!

I'll also second the prospect of Ricky Whittle showing off his bod as if that's all it takes to win a darnce competition.

Ricky Whittle is already starting to grate on me and I thought I'd really like him. Does he really think telling everyone he's going to dance with his chest out, promising to wear a thong and already saying he can get to the final is going to get anywhere it'll only backfire silly boy

I'm hoping to be off the tablets very soon

Joe is my early favourite (but refuse to get emotionally involved this year) but if he dances more like JS then Ramps I will wet myself laughing

Exactly. But I'm pretty sure that the papers reported it anyway! Or have I imagined it? Confirmation anyone?

Knock yourself out.

(Also it's nice to see just how lovely and diplomatic the judges were pre-Sarge. Truly he was a special case who needed special protection.)

evening all!

who is everyone voting for when strictly starts??????

my votes will be for vincent and natalie

Thanks for confirming it Monkseal
Have to say that when I read the feature at first I thought it was a spoof!

This is a link to an article in that well-known lover of the BBC and testament to truth and accuracy, the Daily Mail ...

So hardly worth anyone's time of day, surely?

Surely the hilarious image of Kate and Letitia standing in front of the mirror wailing "why? why? why are my legs not longer?" whilst twisting and turning in psychological torment is worth it?

Or the idea that the public were going to love Dominic "Groper" Littlewood and John "Permenent Resident Of The Bottom Two" Barnes?

In fairness I found Dom Littlewood entertaining until he started bitching about his marks in Paso week (I didn't watch ITT religiously so missed his remarks about Gaby and didn't know about him slagging off Penny pre-competition) - judging by it was that week he was evicted probably other people felt the same. The stuff about him groping Lilia emerged that night too.

Yep, the 'cheeky' routines really came back to bite Lilia on her ... cheeks ...

In this weeks closer magazine, Natalie says 'i know i can win strictly'. If she comes over with that attitude on the show, I think people will find that annoying, and therefore won't vote for her.
