There are a lot of threads like these, you would think, but they are mainly 'who would you like to see' or 'fantasy' threads. This is a prediction thread. Who do we honestly think will participate next year?

* A Sports Man
* An ex-Corrie Actor
* A Loose Woman
* A Hollyoaks Actor
* A Has-Been PopStar

More than one has been - more than one wanna be - what's new.

Will we possibly have another 'disabled' contestant like Heather and Johnson

Plus an older one like Denise and Dr Hilary

Not forgetting some duff/weak skater who keeps getting through while better ones are voted off - Coleen, Kerry etc

If Johnson or Denise win, should/ would there be another series?

I reckon there's an excellent chance that Katie Price could make it onto the starting line-up next year.

The past two years there's been a very obvious figure of public controversy added to the line-up (Heather Mills and Kerry Katona) to get people talking immediately. If the boards are anything to judge by, it works pretty well.

Katie has in the past, I think, wanted to appear on Strictly, where she's never going to get a look-in over celebs with a less seamy profile. DOI might be the perfect alternative.

You heard it here first kids

Let me guess - complete with her moustache, armpit hair and vacum cleaner?
Not even her falling over on DOI can beat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhlFh2KM40!

I thought she was crap on LDFCR though - maybe she wouldn't cut it as a performer

Anyway, here's who I expect to see:

Someone off The Only Way Is Essex
Keith Lemon
Christine 'I'm going out with Frank Lampard not Adrian Chiles' Bleakley
Adrian 'I'm going out with Kermit the Frog not Christine Bleakley' Chiles
Nana Vogel
Gillian Duffy
Piers More-Gurn
Coolio
John Noakes
Katie Waissel
Vaaargnerh
My dead goldfish (would still have more rhythm than that Curry Katona )

Jane McDonald? Kate Thornton? (Loose Woman)
Someone from Westlife (Washed up popstar)
Katherine Kelly (Becky from Corrie)
Davina McCall, Jeremy Kyle, Denise Van Outen, Lorraine Kelly??? (Always some sort of presenter)
Ian Wright??? (Usually a retired sportsman on the show in some form)
Gemma Merna, Jorgie Porter??? (The usual hollyoaks cast member)
Katie Price...... (The Heather Mills/Kerry Katona card, will they wont they get through, do the public hate them and will they be first out then they get through week after week)
Peter Andre?
Sue Barker (Question of sport presenter) for the older persons/Angela Rippon addition

deleted

Some good suggestions there

Sue Barker might be good

Tried to go serious (and think they'll stick at 16)

Katie Price- "Model" (Figure of Controversy)
Lisa Maxwell- Actress (Token Loose Woman)
Cheryl Baker- Singer/ TV Presenter (Token Older Woman)
Clair Nasir- Weathergirl (Journey contestant)
Carley Stenson- Actress (Token Hollyoaks Girl)
Jodi Albert- Singer (Pop-Flop)
Brigitte Nielsen- Hollywood Actress (International Star)
Verity Rushworth- Actress (Token Ringer)

Dean Macey- Ex-Athlete (Token Sportsman)
Matt Johnson- TV Presenter (Token This Morning Representative)
Paul Ross- Journalist (Token No-Hoper)
Jonah Lomu- Rugby Player (Another Token Sportsman)
Jonathan Wilkes- Actor/ Singer (Token Ringer)
Stephen Uppal- Actor (Token Soap Man)
Jack Osbourne- Media Personality (Token Famous-By-Proxy star)
Scott Mills- DJ (Token DJ)

Carley Stenson and Lisa Maxwell crossed my mind too

Verity Rushworth would be good

I've already said she'll be on it or Strictly some year soon. Used to be in a girlband... which flopped. Now in another girlband... who are rubbish but want publicity. Married to Kian from Westlife. She was in the FHM #100 sexiest women list 6 years ago. AND she used to be in Hollyoaks!!!

...Frankly, I'm amazed all the shows aren't fighting over her already.

A young soap actor on the way up
A has-been on the way down
2 people we had forgotten all about
A WAG
A Loose Woman
An older man/woman

Any permutation of the above. All this is supposing that there will be another next year which on this year's form is very doubtful.

Let's face it, if it was up against Strictly it would hardly get anywhere in the ratings. Shame because it used to be a good show. But it is now stale, stale, stale.

thats ironic coz i was thinking Kian Egan when i said a washed up singer from westlife lol

- Jodi Albert (as already outlined in a previous post)
- Lulu (She's already done LDFSR... and she'd be up for anything!)
- Lisa Maxwell (token Loose Woman - I'd love it to be Sarah Millican cos I know she's done LW recently, but she'll probably have tour commitments)
- Peaches Geldof (Token "Controversial" who has their own ITV2 show)
- One of the girls from "The Only Way is Essex"
- Helen Flanagan (Rosie in Coronation Street - she's listed on Wikipedia as leaving the soap this summer.....)
- Lorraine Kelly (Token Presenter)
- Liz Barker (former Blue Peter presenter)



- Michael McKell (just left Emmerdale, and was in Doctors as well.) Other suggestion for ex-Emmerdale cast member is John-Paul Sutton - he's meant to be leaving soon, and he used to be in Hollyoaks as well...
- Iain Lee (Token Radio DJ)
- Keith Duffy (Corrie AND Boyzone. I'm amazed he hasn't been on already.) If not avaible due to filming commitments, replace with Shane Lynch
- Danny Foster (ex-Hear'Say singer)
- Tim Lovejoy (Presenter)
- Terry Longden ("Famous by association" - Ozzy Osbourne's nephew, was on Channel 4's The Salon, used to be a hair stylist on X Factor,and also used to be a panellist on This Morning)
- Angus Deayton (it's only a matter of time before he does one of these shows... though it might be Strictly).
- There'll also probably be one ex-reality TV show contestant in there. My guess is either Chico, One-of-the-ones-from-G4-who-isn't-Jonathan-Ansell, or one of the guys from Any Dream Will Do trying to launch an album career.

Also, if she could do it, it wouldn't surprise me to see Cerrie Burnell (CBBC presenter) in what seems to now have become the "token disabled celebrity" spot.

She's back at the end of the year

I don't think Katie Price would get on DOI - can you imagine the poor pro skater who got her - he'd never be able to balance her for the lifts besides, she has too much cosmetic surgery to risk ruining it on a show like DOI. I think Peter Andre will be on though, and I also reckon Stacey Solomon will get on. Also an ex sportsman - probably an ex cricketer or footballer. An ex breakfast TV presenter, maybe Fiona Phillips or even Kate Garraway! an ex soap star, can't remember his name but the guy who played Bradley in Enders! you also need an ex WAG in there, perhaps Lizzy Cundy. Lastly, you need someone older, who's past it and has nothing else to do, someone like Debbie McGee!!!!

Yeah i can see Peter more and yeah..................forgot about Stacey, i actually said on Sunday when i saw her that she'd be brilliant on DOI.

However if Heather Mills can get on, and Ann Widdecombe on Strictly i wouldnt rule out Katie lol

Really? Ugh. Can't stand her on Corrie!

Well Dan Whiston has always said he'd love to be partnered with Katie on the show so hes up for it!

Love some of the suggestions, including Cheryl Baker as loved Bucks Fizz as a kid so would love her to get Dan or Michael.

Another I'd add is Adele Sylva (Emmerdale)

Not bad suggestions and possibly not so far off with some of them. Brigitte Neilson and Jonathon Wilkes have been rumoured previously to be getting involved in the show but obviously haven't appeared so far.

Danny Foster is another possibilty I know he has been the reserve before and was said to be quite good and again gives the singer in the show and this years reserve Faye Tozier would be another possible for next year as well.


I would quite like to see Verity in the show or Charley Webb.

Lucy Pargeter would also be a good laugh
