It's obvious from twitter activity that Sally Lindsay, larry lamb and Gary linekar are all signed up.

Graham Norton is awesome. Would love if he was on the show. But he said to Darcy he would never do it though.

The cool trailer looks like it was filmed in a large Victoriaan warehouse, maybe this has been used for training and further filming, it could have vehcile access on the bottom floor so the clebs could get in and out of training unseen

IIRC that was concerning a pilot for a Rob Brydon-hosted gameshow earlier this week.

On a technically related matter, here's a taster of how the Elstree set will look: https://twitter.com/StrictlyProps/st...931137/photo/1

Apologies if I'm repeating anyone, and I know we're pretty much 100% certain she's taking part (It's difficult keeping up with this topic! ), but Natalie Gumede has recently started following Deborah, Ben and Tony. (As well as Aljaz, Janette and Iveta)

Ehhhhh, I never stalk Twitter as much as I do at this time of year. It's fun!

I guess TPTB could've learnt at last
This is usually a big giveaway so I was looking forward to it.

Yay , Happy Natalie Gumede is taking part. She was sensational on Coronation Street had me hooked for months.

I think it's really weird that the day before the official reveal we're still uncertain on a fair few names in our lineup and missing at least two men altogether. Unless there's a leak in tonight's papers those last few names must be pretty good (credence for Graham Norton?)

Not waning to disbelieve. They all sound very plausible to me but what activity

Only Deborah's followed them, and that's because last week she recorded a gameshow pilot for the BBC (entitled "Rob Brydon's Celebrities", if you're curious) with them.

Graham certainly is awesome

Only thing we know for certain is that the training took place yesterday (so, if any of the papers have the total scoop then we should know in a few hour's time; though in that case, why leave it waiting and not come out with it today?).

Personally I do think that Fiona is probably in, as otherwise it would be one of the biggest surprises yet (and in that case, what would she think reading all those papers?).

Though we still have the picture mystery, the girl does not resemble any of the announced celebrities and I doubt she is one of the pro's (I have read Iveta for instance, aside from hair colour, she has a very distinct shape of face).

If it is not Fiona in the end, then Donna Air would indeed be a good shout (as someone mentioned). Like Ellie from Countryfile (or former contestant Tina O'Brien), she has a very youthful appearance (which is why it might it look a teenager).

Graham Norton would make perfect sense if the BBC are looking for him to replace Brucie.

I can't see how Gary Linekar can do it, unless he is taking a sabbatical from Match of the Day.

Hoping for a midnight cast leak!

I thought we were supposed to get one more confirmation today? If so, they're leaving it pretty late. Or are they planning to leave it until tomorrow, but before The One Show airs?

A Strictly PR guy tweeted we weren't get anything else before the One Show reveal - I think they might have brought Abbey Clancy forward from today to yesterday to coincide with ITV launching their autumn schedule.

I've seen a couple people on twitter saying that they've seen the full line-up so I think a midnight leak is highly likely

EDIT: Here's one https://twitter.com/ShowbizSecrets/s...79210883239936. Dunno how reliable this source is...

Worst line up ever? Obviously that means we've got Fiona and the two males yet to be named are Z-Listers

That tweet is a load of hyperbole bollox no doubt

It's patently NOT worse than 2009 which was soap stars and Phil Tufnell.

The account itself appears to be very pro-X Factor looking at some of their other tweets.

The contestants we know so far are already better than 2009. I doubt the last few will turn that around.

"A few good names, but possibly the worst line up ever" doesn't really make much sense. 2009 had pretty much NO decent names, which would really make THAT the worst line up ever. To have a few good names (even if it's just 3 from 15) is a step up.

Plus, it's all down to personal taste. The person that tweeted that could just simply be someone that doesn't like the celebrities personally. Just because they don't doesn't mean everyone else will hate it too.

Plus, the name's we've had confirmed thus far aren't nearly as tragic as they could be.

Lets be honest, they'll always be somebody that wont find anything good to say.

Yup- reading back, it seems like its written by a 16 year old X Factor megafan.

The four mystery slebs could be established names not necessarily in that writers field of knowledge
