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.
