Has anyone heard if they have tickets yet? (Filming is on Monday 28th November - ie 10 days from now.....)?

I just wondered if its still too soon and I can still hope ..... or whether I can stop hoping?!

I would presume ticket holders would already now by now? I don't think I applied for them so am not sure on this show of ticket allocation. If they haven't already told people whether they've got tickets or not... hope you get some.

I can't even remember seeing that applications were open, but I suppose they must have been at some point?

Do we know yet which celebrities are taking part? I imagine the pros who were eliminated early will be partnering them.

I've heard that Martine McCutcheon and Lionel Blair are supposed to be taking part.

I've heard Henry Winkler as a rumour too,

In terms of pros, I can see Vincent, Erin, Anton (who did it last year), and Brendan and Katya from this year doing it.

I think if we have 5, we'll be seeing-

Brendan, Anton, Vincent, Erin and Natalie.

Ian is a possibility too.

Charlie Brooks, who plays Janine in EastEnders, is in training for the Chirstmas special it's been reported today.

Martine McCutcheon?? After her random appearance on the Red Button commentary.

Ooh, I love that character. I wonder who she is training with?

According to IMDB she's 5' 5, so will be 5' 7 in heels (never knew she was Welsh)

Possibly one for Brendan then?

Martine McCutcheon ewww no aren't her diarrhetic yoghurts selling?

Ah, must put on an accent for EastEnders.

And yes, Brendan does seem to dance with everybody so perhaps him.

Apparently she went down to London when she was 13, so think that's her natural accent - it's just that she was born in Barmouth.

I'dve gone for Brendan or possibly Anton what with Charlie's height. (If pros who are still in the competition are included then I'd put her with Artem).

Martine & Charlie. Sequins at dawn?

Can anyone remember when the details were announced last year? I have an inkling they confirm them in time for the TV listing mags?

The press release was released on the 18/11/10.

I'd be surprised at Lionel Blair because he's been a dancer all his life.

and did't he do a UK tour with a ballroom dancing show with Jane McDonald a few years ago?

Hmm, Henry and Martine have both been in the "pod" with Karen for the red button commentary.

......and Lionel turned up to give Rory some tips and his cane when he danced the quickstep

I don't know, but if he is on, then there's bound to be a tap dancing duo between him and Brucie!

I'd like to see Henry do it.

In that case, can we have Adam Garcia as he has also been in the pod - please

this was last years!!!

anyone got tickets for next week??
I am rather hoping i haven't as i have a work thing that will be hard to move...
