Time to expand the horizons. How about a cordon bleu chef, wildlife presenter, artist, media mogul (disgraced or otherwise), (proper) comedian, author, banker (disgraced or otherwise), disc jockey, explorer, philanthropist, Nobel prize winner, porn star, historian, cage fighter, doctor, game show host

So - Gordon Ramsey, Michaela Strachan, Grayson Perry, Rebekah Brooks, Reginald D Hunter, J K Rowling, Fred Goodwin, Chris Moyles, Ranulph Fiennes, Bill Gates, Barack H. Obama, Dita Von Teese, Dan Snow, Nikki Sahota, Jeremy Clarkson, Anne Robinson
I don't think you have a very good grasp of Strictly's celebrity calibre if you expect Bill Gates, Fred Goodwin or Barack Obama to be popping up any time soon.

(and Dita Von Teese isn't a porn star)

Martin Kemp must have been asked to do SCD by now? Would be great to see him dancing & wear tight Lycra.... Just wearing Lycra & standing still would be fine with me actually Martin's wife Shirley would be good to have as well. very pretty lady who regularly swirled her ra-ra skirt when a backing singer for Wham.
Marco Pierre White could be terrifying

I have high (and probably very unrealistic) hopes that Samantha Barks will do Strictly at some point... I think she'd be really good Also, would like to see David Tennant, Russell Crowe, Russell Brand, Louise Dearman or Gina Beck... Let's face it, unlikely. But would be good right?
Cilla Black
Mary Berry
Cheryl Cole

David Tennant
David Suchet
Jeremy Kyle

Not necessarily who I would support but I think would be interesting celebs for the show.
I am absolutely certain that David Tennant will never do any kind of reality show.

A lightbulb is hot. I haven't seen many lightbulb porn stars.

Hey, cut me some slack. Do you think I really want to put young, fit, female, porn stars into Google?

Anyway. DvT would be a great addition to SCD

Tess herself admitted that they're running out of stars to take part, so I imagine we'll be getting some esoteric castings again.

I reckon Mel C will do it next year, and be the annual "Axe this filthy ringah NOW!" victim. But she'll be over 40 then so maybe her age will cut her some slack. Either way she's Sambaing to Spice Up Your Life or I AM OUT!

I would love it if Gino D'acampo did it, but I'm not sure the BBC would have an ex I'm a Celebrity contestant. Has anyone ever done both?

Phil Tufnell won it and then five years later did Strictly (which would also be the length of time between Gino winning and doing Strictly)

Jason Donovan got to the final in both (and was super earnest on both occasions)

Sid Owen also took part, but was less memorable all round.

Thank you! I'm a bit of a Strictly newbie, only started watching last year so didn't know all the previous contestants.

She was hardly going to go on tv and say she hadn't done anything wrong was she? She had to do some damage limitation to save her public image.

Anyway I think it's highly unlikely she'll get a place on strictly, thank goodness!
Katie Price etc would

Jane McDonald has said she would like to do it.
Surprised she hasn't been asked before

Comparing her to one of the worst examples of a selfish, attention seeking media personality isn't exactly saying much for her.

She was actually heavily rumoured for this series. Apparently the producers wanted her because she's dating James Middleton.

When I saw her on the Friday panel I wondered if they were warming her up for next year.

I remember speculating at the time that perhaps she turned them down because she didn't want to offend her 'royal' connections so they signed Abbey Clancey instead.

Maybe they'll try and persuade Donna again this year.

Unless she manages to date or marry someone famous then she's not going to get a place on strictly just on the basis of her self publicised delusions.

Watching Michael Ball last night on ITT - he would be a good addition to the show.
Might loose a few pounds too!

Ooh I love both your suggestions, especially Tomasz, I think he would do well and from his photos he looks as though he keeps himself fit and he also does a lot of cycling.

At the other extreme if either Cilla Black or Alan Titchmarsh were on, that would be the time for me to stop watching Strictly (or at least until they were voted off).
