Ok it's James Jordan and yes it's the Sun but James must know who showed real promise in the practice room. He is not very complementary towards Jamelia and Daniel but for him it's Jay with the talent.

Like the picture of Kristina where it's supposed to be Helen.

To be fair, he seems to be basing his opinion of Jamilia on the Bear Grylls show. It might be best to wait and see how she is on this one.

Seems fair- lots of people base their opinion of him based on Celebrity Big Brother.

That's true. I imagine Jamelia might be a little embarrassed looking back on her last foray into reality telly. Sadly James seems proud of his.

"James Jordan says...."

*presses back, reads another thread*

Precisely! Whether Jamelia has danced before or not, Strictly is obviously nearer to her comfort zone than the Bear Grylls thing. Give her a chance!

Not me - he was a knobhead from the minute he landed on Strictly as far as I am concerned!

And its most likely not to happen. 😜

If he is able to get his nerves under control or at the very least stop them from making him appear too wooden with a rabbit in the headlights facial expression James might be right.

Agreed .............

Gosh, James has spoken. Like he knows.

Do we really care? Nope.

I wouldn't be opposed to him winning. ..in fact, I would like that very much, especially for Aliona but James SHUT UP !!!

He was the same on BB as he was on Strictly though? an argumentative knobhead

You do tend to get stripped bare and your real personality revealed on Big Brother dippy.

I think Jamelia has it in the bag too. Not enough people like Peter Andre to win. He'll probably make the final.

To be fair on Strictly you never know, it's not about popularity it's about having that moment like Kimberley did for example with It's Raining Men or Rachel did with the Rumba.

Tele Mix are saying that Aliona is hoping to become the first ever pro to win the show twice.

Yet neither Kimberly or Rachel won.

They were both big favs of mine.

Jay was very very nervous in the launch show and I don't think he has good dancing technique and I think nerves will get the better off him and I'm sure he could jump around the dancefloor and all his teenage girl fans will still vote for him.

Girl fans are very devoted.

I think what he said is fair enough. Nothing too contentious and a lot of people have said his tweets during the live show last year were good. I'm not on Twitter any more, so I didn't see them, but apparently the tweets were nothing like the ones he was posting at other times. He didn't over praise Ola either. Quite like the idea of a former pro doing a column again. Better than a celeb - Pamela Stephenson's column was just awful.

If Jay can get a grip on his launch show nerves, he could be in it for the long run. Too many contenders to say at the moment though.

Jay used to performing so I'm sure he will be no stranger with having to cope with nerves Buddy, lets hope sop anyway.

with James Jordan on your side, who needs enemies

James was adamant that Frankie would win, very early on in the competition last year...so i guess Jay will probably make the final, we'll see....

They've picked the least interesting member of The Wanted, though. I can see his shy/awkward demeanour endearing him to the public.

Well I guess, to be fair, he would have more inside information than us, but he's not been very accurate in his predictions in the past.


Not sure he is on their side. I think he likes Jay (what's not to like?) but I get the distinct impression he doesn't like Aliona at all. He made a few veiled comments about her sudden increase in followers (didn't actually mention her name).
