Lola no one in here really cares about polls - we have to remind people to vote !
But to clarify the poll I saw people discussing multi voting in and setting up shifts to do so was a poll where one was only supposed to vote once.
I can't remember what poll it was but it had nothing to do with the Radio Times and anything other than dances or couples in last year's Strictly..
We watched the votes go up by hundreds every hour in wonder !
It really doesn't matter at all as for the most part we found it very funny.

Since then we have not bothered to vote in polls very much - which should be a fun thing and certainly nothing to lose sleep over
It doesn't make any difference to GG as they are unaware such polls exist.

We have always coexisted very happily with the Aliona's and are very grateful when some of you nice people pop in to give us news and links to info or pics we didn't know about.
I think on the whole we are much more interested in GG being happy rather than winning silly fan polls.
Was actually nothing to do with the polls or voting, Sandy.

It was said (and I admit I should have ignored it) that people who don't think J&A are the best are in denial. I said 'or those people just have a different opinion' and I was branded a 'bully' (which I am still disgusted about!)

That's delightful Star - #yourdaymade🌻⭐️ 👍 I liked your tweet too.

A tiny suggestion from my niece who is in London is Madeline Duggan who was in EastEnders may be a young contestant this year! But she doesn't know a source so just a little guess!? Probably nothing in it at all. Aliciax

Good Lord - delusional or what ?

I am afraid that Jay and Aliona (lovely as they both are) did nothing for me - I didn't even like the supposedly amazing jive !
But each to his/her own some people obviously liked other couples better.
After all some people must have voted for Peter Andre

Has Georgia welcomed every new contestant to Strictly this year?

If so how nice of her.

Don't worry Star I doubt you will get an apology, why certain people can't accept that others have different opinions I'm not sure.

I didn't know who she was as I don't watch soaps so I looked her up - she looks perfect to me and she is only 22 - on the whole the women who have been rumoured to be contestants are all over 30 !

Like Georgia she started acting at 9.

I've received it! Thank you!

If she didn't take us I think it would be the single biggest disappointment of my entire life, and I'd be forced to take up residency in the bathtub for fear of flooding the house with my tears ... don't feel obliged to take us though Star!
Saying that, I know our Star and she certainly would take us - she would take all of us!
I hope your house is big enough GG!!

Georgia's obviously watching the equestrian event at the Olympics - I wonder if they have both been watching !

Up until an hour ago Italy had more Olympic medals that GB - I bet Gio certainly pointed that out.

Well, Claudia did say that there were some young celebs on the show. Madeline Duggan played Lauren Branning before Jacqueline Jossa took over the role. `However she hasn't been on Eastenders for a few years and I would have thought they would go for the more recent stars like Hetty Bywater who played Lucy Beale - (sorry I know these names mean nothing to you Corrie fans.)

I love it that Georgia is congratulating the new celebs for Strictly as they are announced. I'm very happy to hear about Ore Oduba - I think he could be great and he would IMO be an ace partner for Jo. Talking of Jo her new fella is rather gorgeous with the most beautiful blue eyes. He has just posted a lovely picture on Instagram of the two of them at some restaurant. I read somewhere that he is 6 ft 5, but I don't think that can be right! He doesn't look it in his pictures. Anyway, good luck to her and I hope she has better luck with him than with Laurence.

Had to laugh at Georgia's tweet about horses in the Olympics. Actually I always feel sorry for horses that get flown around all over the world. Must be very noisy and uncomfortable for them especially if the flight is delayed. Someone commented that horses get jet lag too, which I suppose is understandable.

Incidentally, Giovanni being called "Joe Varney" by Georgia isn't that far off the mark in pronouncing his name you know - well that is according to this you tube clip below.
If you can't be bothered watching the whole thing, the bit on how to pronounce his name is at around 6.57 minutes onwards. Anyone who didn't know me would think I am a leetle bit obsessed with Giovanni for some reason
Oh yes, afton, yes, I know that it is closer to the correct pronunciation than many. Zoe always says Gee-o-varni or a softer (I don't know how to write it!) shio-vanni , neither of which are correct.

I have to say that I know nothing about the new singing Ore, but I like the look of him!

As you say Sandy to each their own but to call someone a bully is reprehensible and is totally wrong.

Hi Christopher. I think she has. Bet she wishes she could be on it again 😀

I've received it! Thank you!

She had better take us Brian. Do you hear us Star. Brian and I are escorting you to GG's for tea 😂😂

Talking of missing persons Kat99 and Jules haven't been around for ages either 😔

Hope your arm is better, Claire


I see we've had the fifth celebrity confirmed early this morning - Melvin Odoom - confess to never having heard of him but he's seemingly involved with a few charities so I'm sure he's a nice chap!

Morning guys

Looks like Georgia will be on the radio this morning talking about BAT coming to Belfast at 9.40. She's on a northern Irish station but maybe it could be listened to online somewhere. Not me though sadly as I'll be in work.

WHO ?


I have looked him up and am not much none the wiser - someone on the main frame says he presented Xtra Factor - I never watch that so wouldn't recognise him.

He is a DJ and comedian his wiki says !
He is 36.
He is 1.63 m according to Google that is only around 5ft 4ins - so I am guessing Janette will get him.

She's just about to come on apparently, listening on this page -- http://radioplayer.coolfm.co.uk/live/


Saying that they might not have mentioned her since it was supposedly about 15 minutes before she was about to come and that was 9:25!

I know him from the Xtra Factor. Don't mind him, he's actually quite funny. Should be a good contestant for Strictly - well, entertainment wise. Not sure if his dancing will be up to much lol

Ah it just mentioned they can't get through to her phone - some complications.
Well, sadly, I can't listen all day as I have work to do
