Hi all

You might know me from the Strictly forums, and over there I'm running a game called Reality Check, which is about to start its 7th series (can't believe it's lasted over a year). I had a think a little while ago about if it could translate to a DOI version, and I reckon it can so I'm going to have a go!

For those of you who are unfamiliar to Reality Check - it's similar to Twist & Sequins in that there's various twists and themes to endure throughout the series, but that's it. In Reality Check, you are not playing as yourself: you will be mentoring couples and trying to guide them through as many weeks as possible. There's 2 shows a week, and mentors need to PM me songs for their couples each week.

I'm looking for 4 mentors who will have 3 couples each. The series is expected to last for around 4-5 weeks, dependent on whether I decide to have any double eliminations or not

I'm hoping to start it in around 2 weeks or so. If you would like to sign up as a mentor then please post on this thread

Yeah if this takes off then I'll be spacing out the Strictly version a lot more, so maybe have only 3 or 4 series this year, instead of the 6 that I managed last year

See if you can guess who these male celebs are:

Celebs 1 and 2 are actors who are also brothers. They starred in a movie series which saw one of their characters die in the final film. Will skating be a joke to them?

Celeb 3 is a former member of a boyband, who were famous in the mid-to-late 90s. Will the lights go out for this star?

Celeb 4 is a member of Team GB who picked up 2 medals at the London Olympics. Will he emulate his colleague Louis Smith and take the reality crown?

Celeb 5 is an actor who recently departed a popular soap. Will he be able to show his different layers of personality?

Celeb 6 is a comedian primarily. Will skating prove to be his prime evil?

And now for the celeb females:

Celeb 7 is a former Olympian. Will she be gunning for the trophy?

Celeb 8 is an American film actress. Will she be saved from the skate-off?

Celeb 9 is a Jamaican singer who used to be in a band. Will the outlook be sunny for her?

Celeb 10 is an American actress who has appeared in both films and TV shows. Will she turn into an Ugly Betty on the ice rink?

Celeb 11 is seen regularly on Emmerdale. She's our soapstar superstar but can she win over the ice panel?

Celeb 12 used to be in a girlband, and her older brother used to be in a boyband. Will she have the luck of the Irish?

Man you're good but for no.4, you should have got it as only one of them won 2 medals, the rest all got 1.

So Harry Potter stars James and Oliver Phelps are participating. There were a few reasons that they were selected - they're both quite tall, the "sibling rivalry" factor, and the fact that they're from Sutton Coldfield, which isn't far from me James will be skating with Katie Stainsby, and Oliver will be skating with Susie Lipanova.

Ben Miller will also be taking to the ice. He hopes to do better than Todd Carty. Ben will be skating with Frankie Poultney.

Sally Gunnell will be going for gold with Andrei Lipanov.

Liz Mitchell of Boney M (the main singer) wants to make her skating partner proud. She will be competing with 2-time champion Daniel Whiston.
