Jamie Redknapp

[sunnymeg]

Kimberley Wyatt has had ballroom training, so unless she becomes a judge, she won't qualify.

[Hound of Love]

Rosie Marcel (Holby City's fierce Jac Naylor).

She could give Craig the Naylor death stare if he slags her off

Tomasz Schafernacker (lovely, back-from-the- BBC wilderness weatherman)

Matt Barbet (Daybreak presenter). Just as Strictly must feature an 'Enders actor/actress, ITV breakfast presenters always appear, so it could be Matt's turn.

[Tall Paul]

Kim Wilde, Lucy jo Hudson, Vanessa feltz, matt Holland, Jamie Oliver and bobby George are strong contenders for who I want on SCD as well.

[pothuthic]

Matt Johnson

[Sallyforth]

Dan Snow, but he's possibly too tall even for Natalie?

[Cobblers]

Richard Armitage
Prof. Brian Cox
Rick Astley

ETA: Larry Lamb and George Lamb

[21stCenturyBoy]

Some more names...

Natalie Gumede- She's leaving Corrie and what better way to rehabilitate her public image (and stop people confusing her with Kirsty!) than ballroom dancing?

Anthony Ogogo- Those "barely there" trunks on Splash! no doubt won him a legion of fans- but is his dancing as good as his diving?

Jonathan Wilkes- We've never really had a male ringer, so it would be interesting to see the reaction the acclaimed musical theatre star and best pal of Robbie Williams gets. I think it wouldn't be anything near as harsh as Denise's...

Isn't she a judge on a dance show already anyway?

On the mention of 'Splash!', I wouldn't be surprised if Jade Ewen gives ballroom dancing a go. Would fit the girlbander slot, and Heidi's doing Dancing on Ice - and she also fits the bill of being a Eurovision 'UK success' of sorts.

Of Take That, I can only see Mark doing it.

Gary's too 'big' and never really been a dancer, Jason is incredibly private (and experienced in dance, albeit breakdancing) and Howard lives in Germany (again, also experienced in breakdancing).

Leaving Mark, who did Big Brother, so isn't averse to reality TV and he's been working on some solo stuff so probably would appreciate the publicity.

Also, I believe that Take That are going to be working together again this year and they generally bring their albums out around Christmas time, so again, having a member compete on Strictly would be good for publicity.

Anyway, now I've given away how much of a Take That fangirl I am, I'll slowly back out of the thread...

I see you've forgotten about Robbie already. (not that he'd do Strictly either)

Robbie's working as a solo artist again, so I wasn't counting him as a member, but I suppose the same could be said for Gary who's done a solo tour recently. But, anyway, I agree that he wouldn't do it, so that still leaves Mark.

I'm going to stop now.

I agree about the Hammster.

Richard Armitage would look awful in sequins! He has to be dressed in black leather and studs, or armour.... I just can't imagine him doing Strictly, and I believe he's always said he'd never do it anyway.

Sigh.

Jeremy Paxman, just the idea of him in a sparkly shirt makes me smile and I bet he already knows how to Tango!

[colliefan]

Might be Sir Alan Sugar if Len gets his way He might give the judges a run for their money!
