I confess, I have a soft spot for Nancy Dell'Olio!

She's an intelligent lady, very successful, dedicated to her charity work and rather charming I think. Yet for some reason, she seems universally unpopular.

Nancy's my underdog this year, and I hope viewers are open-minded about her. I don't rate her chances though as foreign contestants haven't really fared well with the voters (I'm not implying xenophobia here by the way, but a lack of existing fans to rely on!).

I'm also a fan of Nancy Del'boy&rodney. She looks so hot in her promotional picture.

We just discussed her on Twitter a fellow fan here.. she really reminds me of Pamela from last year for some reason, i think she'd flourish with James or Artem

I'm delighted she agreed to take part. She is the one celeb I'm looking forward to seeing and I only hope she is partnered with a popular pro. Please, please don't let her get Cole although I can see the devious way the minds of those producers work.

Sid, I officially love you!

I like her (well first impressions so far) but I didn't have the guts to say so for fear of being called a lecher. But you are more manly I am and admitted it publicly.

I have witnesses so you can't go back on that now. Our relationship has moved to a new level SCD (be afraid, be very afraid!).

I wasn't expecting so many positive replies. This is encouraging

And I agree with you Buddy & rosco, Nancy is looking very foxy indeed!

What's not to like about Nancy - she's a strong, sexy, vibrant woman...I'd love to be like her when I'm 60

When I saw Nancy in that red dress, I thought WOW! Normally we see her in the weirdest designer clothes and boy has she cleaned up well!

She just needs to walk on to the dance floor in that dress and pose and Len will get out the 10 paddle!

"Successful" in what sense?

I mean, unless I've missed something, she's famous for who she has slept with, yes?

Yet for some reason, she seems universally unpopular.
I know, and she's so talented at bagging millionaires, it's a truly under-rated ability.

Seriously, what has she, you know, done?

I should've known you'd like Nancy Sid - as ever, diametrically opposite to the way I'd be voting, if I actually voted

I just can't see her having the required level of self-deprecation or the sense of humour to win many fans; she'll be the Elen Rives of SCD (although I was perfectly prepared to give Elen a chance and thought she came across all right on DOI)...

And DJ, I'm guessing Nancy has done it where it counts - i.e. in the number of column inches she's able to garner, which I imagine is significantly more than the likes of Chelsee Healey or Dan Lobb.

It's quite easy to google Nancy Dell'Olio and read all about her accomplishments:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Dell'Olio

By my standards, she's successful. And I think it's great that she's used her fame for so many good causes.

She won't be everyone's cup of tea though, and I respect that.

Now it feels like Strictly has properly started

I thought she was a successful international lawyer, lobbyist and philanthropist - and hilarious! She is an eccentric and I'm looking forward to seeing her on the show (I didn't expect to, but so far I am!).

Her interview on BBC Breakfast was very cocky though Sid. She does seem a bit full of herself. I was hoping you would be joining me on Team Lulu!

Although I know nothing about her, she seems to be my favourite type - beautiful, mature, elegant and classy. The last one I took to was Cherie Lunghi. I shall be watching her with interest, and I hope she gets Brendan - he is far and away the best in the ballroom dances, as he showed with Lisa Snowdon.
