...who are the brave souls dancing their first dances friday night?

Will admit I am getting excited!!!

Richard Arnold mentioned on Daytime this morning that he will be "back tomorrow with [his] fake tan"...so I think he's a shoo-in for tomorrow...

I think Lisa and Robin are reported to be at TVC today doing dress rehearsal so they probably are but Denise and James definitely aren't in the building, so they're probably Saturday.

Will they be live on both nights, or record all dances on Friday? Sorry, another question rather than an answer.

I wouldn't get TOO excited about tweets talking of fake tan - if they stick to the same format as last year, all of the contestants will be wheeled out on the first night - but only six will dance. So they'll all still have to do the whole costume and make-up bit, including a trip to the tanning booth...

Live both nights I think.

I thought that, but according to a Team Colina tweet that was replied to by Kristina, all of the celebs and pros are at TVC today.

Sorry. . Just repeating what someone said on another thread, I haven't read twitter today.

Ta! Scary for 'em.

Colin tweets today:

Morning.. Looking forward to seeing everyone's dance for first time as count down begins. Will be inspiring and daunting no doubt.

(How do the Latin contestants cope with being sewn in when they are sh*tting themselves?)

Ewwww, thanks for that thought.

I'd much rather go Friday than Saturday and get it out of the way. Once the first ones done you can relax a bit more.

They could use one of those baggy panel arrangements cowboys have on their longjohns (don't know why I use the 'cool' icon for that)

I'd rather get it out of the way too.

I didn't think Denise & James were there today because a pic on James' twitter this morning was of a rack of various weights, which I don't think they'd have at TVC!

Yes, and all will be revealed shortly !

Colin and Kristina are dancing tonight and Johnny Ball is dancing tomorrow - they've just been on Breakfast TV

Love Colin even more now... So collected and attractive at that time of the morning. Beautiful being

Colin is just so smooth - I could listen to his voice forever he doesn't have to dance! Although I hope he can dance it would complete the picture! He also said that Sid was 'surprisingly good' and might be the dark horse (don't know why he used the word 'surprisingly' out loud)!

Judging by the costumes for tonight I would not say Lisa is dancing. However would not be surprised if Natalie & Michael are as there is a classic Natalie yellow dress in the line up.

The dresses have captions so we know who's dancing

Yes we do...

Denise & James - Waltz
Michael & Natalie - Waltz
Colin & Kristina - Cha Cha Cha
Fern & Artem - Cha Cha Cha
Nicky & Karen - Waltz
Victoria & Brendan - Cha Cha Cha

Thank you jiroos for the info! Greatly appreciated!!

Any time t!
