Pros who previously worked on DWTS and wasn't Val, Mark or Derek have said that they had found out just before the announcement that they weren't needed as tptb couldn't find them a celeb or the celeb pulled out so it is ok for Val to joke about it but it has happened in the past

Rumours are that Mark is not Bindi's partner no idea who is

Think Henry wasn't happy with what happened last season so decided to leave I preferred Brittany to Jenna tbh
I think Val was having a dig at the folk at Pure. He said something about, 'why do they have to be do cruel?' In all fairness to him (though I think he'd be better to rise above it and not respond), they are pretty vile about him and all things 'Fam'.



I'm so confused with what's going on

So Emma & Keo are pros. Val isn't?

Where were Alexa and Carlos announced!?
Lol! All three are. His twitterings were a bit incoherent, but I think he was just poking a stick at some people who (he thinks) think they are more important than they are

Read kp's post further up for the news about pros in or out.

These two celebs? Not sure...away to have a gander.

ETA: this is the Twitter account which seems to have the scoops...

I love the Chaka Khan/Keo pairing. 🔥🔥🔥 #DWTS
This is Kristyn by another account isn't it?
Not sure if she's confirming it or talking about it as speculation.

Chaka Khan might be doing this!

Why does DWTS cast so much better than Strictly ?

They haven't been officially announced but a tweet with some pairing was retweeted by Kristyn who usually has inside info

DWTS 360 is where I got most of the info from

I agree about Val, pure is pure nasty but Val needs to learn not to fan the fire pure DWTS will never change their opinions on him just ignore

DwtsGossip et al are wondering if recent Twitter follows and 'some exciting news to share' mean Hayes Grier is going to be on. He's a 14 year old boy who posts videos on Vine. *sigh*

Perhaps Emma would have been better in the troupe!

Hayes Grier is in. He can't really keep a secret

So the cast (which will feature either 12 or 13 celebrities - yet to be confirmed) is shaping up to include:

1. Paula Deen, 68, Celebrity chef & television host
2. Chaka Khan, 62, Music icon 'The Queen of Funk'
3. Alexa Vega, 27, Film & television actress (Spy Kids, Nashville)
4. Bindi Irwin, 17, Wildlife conservationist, presenter & actress
(2-3 females left)

5. Victor Espinoza, 43, Triple-crown winning jockey (American Pharaoh)
6. Nick Carter, 35, Backstreet Boys singer
7. Andy Grammer, 31, Singer-songwriter ("Keep Your Head Up", "Honey, I'm Good")
8. Carlos Pena Jr., 26, Big Time Rush member
9. Hayes Grier, 15, Vine online media host
(1 male left)

This line-up gives me chills, I won't lie.

Someone said Shay Mitchell pretty much confirmed herself by snapchatting from the promo shoot (and wants to dance with Val)

KB thinks she's too big for DWTS, the people at Pure wonder....and Artem has Twitter followed her.
Not sure what she's suggesting with her 'big cup of Joe' but her fiancé is called Joe and they're meant to be getting married just before the DWTS finale, so it may be unconnected to the show. But Artem following her.... Hmm.

Yeah I would say Shay Mitchell is in as well. Possible second could be Kacy Catanzaro, gymnast from American Ninja Warrior, and I heard an older female sport star (tennis), but I could be off there? Steffi Graf?

As she's just had a movie out with Reese Witherspoon she does seem a bit big for DWTS. I remember Artem saying he and Kara used to watch Modern Family together, so he could just be a fan of her from that.

Sofia would be amazing! Yeah I'm not so keen on this line up though. It started out well with Bindi and Chaka.

I strongly suspect BBC does have the funds / resources to get big names, high calibre celebs to do Strictly. They probably only use about 10% of what they get for this though and the rest goes to the execs for big pay bonuses etc.

Shame, she would have been fab.

Allison Baver is also not in..
@AllisonBaver

@j******8 @DWTS360 This season is a negative.

It doesn't seem to me that DWTS casts better than Strictly. This year we have yet another person whose "fame" consists of posting vines on Youtube. Isn't he 14? Last time, some girl got a lot of views for her videos or has a lot of followers on Twitter - Bethany I think? And that's all she did.

Anyhow, I've heard that producers are considering moving to once a year mainly because they have so much trouble casting the thing. We've had two Kardashians! And one finished in 2nd place despite being rubbish. Also 2 "Jersey Shore" drunkard chavs. And I forget how many "Housewives of the Rich and Famous." And as far as I can tell, most of them haven't done anything worthwhile or artistic, at ALL, ever, nothing at all other than being creeps.

Chaka is confirmed.

And suddenly I'm more interested in DWTS. Her pro will be getting major contact high throughout.

Take away Hayes and it's actually quite a good line up, I think I know everyone bar Victor, plus the thought of Andy Grammer is great.

I wouldn't say I'm supporting him, per se, but the very idea of Hayes is fascinating to me.

Strong and varied line up, hopefully the Curse of Keo doesn't stymie Chaka.

I can't help but have a soft spot for Paula Deen either, she is really warm. Sadly, she has put her foot in her mouth a few times, I think she's learnt from her mistakes though!

Chaka is going to kill it. Nick will too. Andy has moves. The PenaVega's look good too. I think competition is going to be FIERCE!
