Seeing as Grant's main "skill" is to perform Astrological readings, is there any chance he's being lined up for a segment dedicated to that drivel? I sincerely hope the BBC isn't going to promote the thoroughly discredited pseudoscience of Astrology.

Don't say such things, even in jest!

I think Russell might have some kind of permanent red-button gig going, or perhaps as the compere for the Strictly tour.

It does annoy me that people like Lisa and Russell, fun as they were at the time (to an extent...), have been rammed into the role of "People's Champion/Favourite", getting presenting roles and massively overdo it, when someone calm and personable like Sophie Ellis Bextor, Deborah Meaden, or even Matt Baker would do a much better job - Sophie would geek out cutely, Deborah came across as though she really loved dance, and Matt has actual presenting chops...

I think it is probably that he is hosting and dancing on the BBC strictly cruise as Dmolyneaux pointed out already in a post further up the page.

I really wouldn't mind if he replaced Claudia.
I'm sorry but I just can't 'take' to her at all.
Zoe was, for me at least, much more likeable.

btw I like Lisa too.

Wouldn't the contracts for a cruise have been sorted out ages ago though? I stil think his tweets suggest something in the main show or ITT unfortunately Although, he is 'slightly' more bearable than Funnity.

Thank you.

Lisa Riley seems like a lovely lady but I found her annoying and grating on ITT. I hope she doesn't make a comeback this year.
Happy to see Russell still doing well though. .. business wise

If they need a past contestant why don't they call on Gethin Jones? Much more appealing than either Lisa Riley or Russell Grant.

Cruise appearances for B (or below!) list celebrities are frequently left until quite late. They know they can get hold of them cheaply at the 11th hour if they're still out of work. Celebrity gets a free cruise (+ they can usually take a guest with them for free), gets the exposure and an ego boost and it costs the cruise line next to nothing.

That's the BBC all over, they can't leave things alone.

It used to be a "must watch programme." For the last few years I recorded it, mostly to skip through the old codger's involvement, but last year, I just watched the interesting bits, that's the dancing.”

I completely agree. I used to absolutely love Strictly but the BBC are changing it too much. They need to ditch the "comedy" scripted VTs too.

Gethin is now doing the ITT version of Dancing with the Stars since earlier this year ; much to my surprise really.

I mean he seemed really pleasant and got better as the weeks went on but it seemed like such a step down from me.

A step down? Really? I can think of several presenters who would give a couple of limbs and their eye teeth to have such exposure on American TV.

I don't think it is on TV - I believe DWTS 'All Access' is an online show. I suppose its a 'way in' though and could lead to other things.
