Gemma Oaten from off Emmerdale has said that she wants to do Strictly. Not had anyone from Emmerdale since Lisa Riley did the show.

Freddie Flintoff always said he would do anything but the jungle and dancing !

He did the jungle - so is it too much to ask that he will now do dancing ?

Well he's tried his hand at most things since quitting Cricket to remain in the public eye (panel shows, boxing, darts etc), so I don't see why not.

Not sure he would "knuckle down" enough.

Tales of his drinking exploits (JOhn BIshop talking baout "A league of their own") are many.

Give him an Eastern European pro and she would eat him alive if he did not work hard enough

Some ideas...

The Gals


Myleene Klass - I know, I know. But we survived Peter Andre, didn't we? I reckon the BBC would love to have her as a prestige casting and she's not quite as televisually omnipresent as she was five/ six years ago.

Tameka Empson - Oh PLEASE! She was genuinely very funny in that gymnastics thing for Sport Relief and the Beeb like to have a current EastEnder.

Laura Whitmore - This one feels kinda inevitable. If she is getting The Voice UK gig, a stint on Strictly would be the perfect way to launch herself to an audience that don't want low-end ITV2 spin-offs.

Trinny Woodall - Well, why not. Her one-time co-star is doing any reality show that will have her at the moment and Trinny has carved a daytime career for herself (of sorts) on This Morning. She'd be terrible, but the cast always has one or two random names that must have been quite far down the shortlist.

Maddy Hill - Is two EastEnders overkill? She's just left the square (and not in a coffin, shocka) and it might be nice cosmic symmetry to have Kellie Bright's on-screen daughter take part. She was also genuinely warm and engaging on the Bake Off earlier this year.

Jess Ennis-Hill - Would they? Could they? The absolute darling of British athletics has openly speculated that Rio 2016 might be her last throw of the dice, so what better way to kick-off retirement than learning to Cha-Cha with a sweaty Russian. She's said she's dying to do the show and would be an enormous get if she signed up.

Anastasia - I really like this rumour. She's middle aged, she's sassy and she's camp as tits. I smell a DS fan fave.

The Guys

Greg Rutherford - Hunky ginge klaxon! He's done pretty much every other reality show recently (Battlechefs, that one where they go back in time, Bake Off) so why not Strickers?

Rylan - Don't start! You just know he's the kind of signing the producers chuck in to appease the great unwashed. He allegedly turned it down last year, but with a new autobiography and chat show to promote, a few weeks learning to jive with the Sainted Natalie of Lowe might be quite appealing.

Ryan Thomas - Soap wars! He's quit Corrie and he definitely needs the money. I can't see him being any good, but Bruno would need peeling from his seat every Saturday.

Peter Jones - It's been a long, hard three years since the public cruelly rejected Deborah. He's openly said he wants to do the show, and every series needs cannon fodder.

Jermaine Jenas - Since retiring from footy bally, Mr Jenas has been the BBC's go-to 'yoof' casting, turning up on everything from MOTD to Question Time. I really can see a stint on Strictly in my crystal balls.

Noddy Holder - I realise that my cast is very, very young, so this geriatric rocker turned cultural icon might be good for a laugh.

Tyger Drew-Honey - Well, it was bound to happen eventually.

Gennaro Contaldo - Flamboyant Italian chef, sometime star of Saturday Kitchen and the man to blame for Jamie Oliver. He wouldn't stay long, but the 'foodie' seems to be a new Strictly archetype.

I like Rylan and wouldn't mind seeing him do Strictly but I know he'd be slated on here, just because he comes from a reality background.

I think he'd end up winning people over. If he was paired with Natalie I think they'd have a fun partnership - he came over really well on Celeb Masterchef and proved he is a hard worker.

He is starring in Snow White the 'World's Biggest Panto' with MelB and V&F from 19th December so I'd rule him out for this year. It's a massive £2M production playing at Birmingham arena and Wembley so I reckon they'll all be knee deep in rehearsals during December.

Someone I can see on it is the girl from Gogglebox Scarlett Moffat. She's kinda cropping up in magazines etc right now.

As much as I would love to see Scarlett on Strictly, she would have a huge advantage over everyone else considering she's actually trained in ballroom dance.

Ditto this^^
I'd only seen clips of him being OTT on XFactor and thought he was ridiculous. Then I saw him on Masterchef and was really impressed with him; a grafter, obviously a quick learner, pretty likeable if you don't mind his brand of loud and obviously musical to a point. He'd be fun.

LOL, never got the hate that some people have for Myleene Klass (besides the obvious). She is at least talented, that is more then can be said for Peter Andre (is the comparison because of the shower thingy ).

Unless she goes to X-Factor......

Would probably stop watching if she were to turn up. She was absolutely awful at the apprentice comic relief special (almost 10 years ago now). Probably the worst person there in terms of personality. And this special also had Piers Morgan, Maureen Lipman, Alastair Campbell AND Cheryl Cole!

Can't see him doing it, as I would reckon he thinks it would be beneath him (that's how he comes across; as good as he is at all his jobs, notice that with a male that is not seen as a negative).

It would be much better if some more young, fit and good looking males were in the line up this year !

There must be some athletes, boxers, cricketers or footballers not exactly in their dotage who could be persuaded to appear - Anthony Ogogo was a great idea but he was sadly injured before he started,

Then there are ex boyband people - are all the members of JLS gainfully employed ?

Reggie Yates would be great for Strictly - but he probably is too popular as a presenter to do it now which is a great shame !

There were some really very attractive young chefs in the Great British Menu last year - could the BBC press them into Strictly - Matt Gillan for example would be a fantastic guy to be part of the line up.

What about the little one - was he called Aston ?
Would he be a contender ?

Reckon Aston Merrygold would be very likely as a contestant. I was never a JLS fan but he always seemed to be the most popular member and has been rather quiet since they split.


*Note* Having checked wikipedia he's attempted to launch a solo career but didn't set the charts alight? Could use Strictly to relaunch his music career, but nobody has ever done that

He'd be a pretty big ringer if he were on it - he's a dancer and was a judge on Got To Dance on Sky. I do think we might get one of the other JLS guys this year (it's a shame the lovely Marvin is so busy - I think he'd be brilliant) though.

Either that or this year will be Shane Filan's year to tick the boyband box after he was so heavily rumoured last year.

Ah, didn't know this. That probably should rule her but then but stranger things have happened, lol.
