Yay or nay on this?

I don't see why not, they allowed Mark Wright to take part.

Now officially "Sickly Come Dancing"

Probably be renamed "Peter Andre's Strictly Come Dancing" if history repeats.

The fake bake bill will double, as will the need for tissues for him to sob in everytime he thinks of how much he loves his kids, how hard it is, how natural his wife is, how he missed his honeymoon to do this, how hard it all is, how much he would love his mum to see him do this, how much he loves his kids again, how important Blackpool is to him, his kids, his journey, his fans, his kids, his new album (available at an Iceland bargain Bin near you) his singing, his kids, his fear of heights/buttons/sequins/failing/getting up early/being on time/listening/being on live tv without Claire/funnier people/falling over/ baths/depths/mice/spiders called Marvin/bugle beads/Orla/clever women/paleness/and how much he loves his kids.

At least he is used to wearing high heals, make up and a fake smile.

The show will now be all about him as, for some reason, he has a big fanbase. He will mention/wheel out his children at every oppertunity becasue did you know he's not just a father but the best dad ever?

He makes my skin crawl so I won't be watching Strictly this year.

Well at least it on BBC, not in control of editing by PA's agent

BIB made me almost pee myself

Just wait until The Andre gets on Strictly. He's going to show Mark Wright EXACTLY how cheesy insincerity is done

Let us all pray that he breaks a leg before the show, he will definitely spoil it for me.

You just know that his kids will take part in one of his performances.

Cue the ok magazine "world exclusives" every week.

I am so grateful for the BBC for giving me the early warning so I know to boycott the channel on a Saturday night.

Looks like he's won it then.

I take it you think he might mention his kids in the VT's then?

Apparently it's a special and unique thing for a father ("Doting dad" in tabloid speak) to love their children. Which is why Pa mentions it all the time - just so you all know just how special and good he is.

<vom>.

At least on the BBC there are no adverts so you don't have the Iceland adverts to contend with too as they would be milking this for all it is worth.

Happy he's finally agreed to do SCD. A definite for the final I would have thought given his fanbase, and probably the only one with the fitness levels needed for such gruelling training. Good luck to him. I can't wait,

So he'll get through because of his fans, rather than any talent? Interesting that even supporters already think that.

Thank you for your honesty.

This show is beneath him imho... I thought those Iceland commercials would have lead to a Hollywood career by now

I doubt it as according to some people on DS he hasn't got that many.

He hasn't got enough to get him in the charts, but I am pretty certain the ones he has can hit redial.

Don't count your chickens about him wining. In SCD you will be surprised who gets the boot early on. If he dances like a horse with six legs he won't last long. Anyway some ageing national treasure always manages to get favourites voted out.

You are misinterpreting my words. I fully expect him to be good, very good in fact given his background in music and choreography. The fact he also has a ready fanbase who also know he is likely to be very good will obviously increase his vote share.

Unless he surprises us all and shows that he has some hidden dancing ability, I don't think that he has enough followers to keep him in for the long run.

I was going to make a thread about PA and saw this one.
What actually is the appeal of him? Genuine question, he's a pretty ropey pop has been from 20 years ago, yet still seems to have a massive fan base.

Brave, courageous Pete. I bet Clur is so proud.

Hope Bista and Junior are there every week with Embolism; after all, he's a family man who loves kids like no other.

Saturday night tv gets worse and worse

We have a choice of Peter 'I love my kids' Andre or Cheryl Cole
