STOP PRESS! URGENT!
Star I've just seen the photo of Louise in her publicity shot dress. Flamin' Nora! Has she upset wardrobe already????
I think you could be well out of if that's the best they can do!!!

Just look what Gio has retweeted :

The first couple i think will be paired is @AnastaciaMusic & @pernicegiovann1 X

I dont think there is any doubt who he is hoping his celeb partner will be !

That can't be her finished costume surely - I thought she had an old bath towel wrapped round her legs !

OMG there are no words 😱 I wish I hadn't gone to the mail online and clicked on to the Jordan's. My curiosity got the better of me but now I feel a bit ill to be honest. 😳

Whoever he gets I just hope they are right for him. As well as hopefully being a good dancer it needs to be someone who he gets on well with as they are stuck together for hours on end every day.
I am now having trouble visualising Anastasia with him for some reason. She seems a very nice and exuberant character but I don't know if she would be a bit overpowering for him day in day out? This is just an impression I get but I may be proved wrong!
We shall see..................

Random question:- Do you think the Pro's already know who their list of "potential" partners already are??? Will the producers have already told them or do they wait until they meet??


By the way I have just seen this tweet that suggests that the Pros and Celebs are meeting for the 1st time tomorrow
It is not Lesley Joseph's official twitter so I don't know if it is true but it would make sense!!

What a comedown from the high life to lo life cant think of anything nice or positive to say except Yuck

Why on earth are they doing that to her, she's beautiful with a great figure. Maybe it was one left over from Kellie's wardrobe last year, she always seemed to draw the short straw for some reason.


He needs to make a beeline for her at the celeb meeting, armed with a hairbrush and his best rendition of Ahm Outta Lurrrrrrve. Hope there are plenty of ear defenders on site!

ETA. This is more like it...Anastacia looking fab


Some things you just can't unsee James's 'six pack' looks suspiciously like it's been painted on with contouring makeup

as far as I know Anya was only in for that series (11)

Welsh is my absolute favourite, then South African but the Geordie accent is very close behind

yes, I think they will post again, Vicsmum is back isn't she


it's OK, I know what you mean ...... just as well Claudette isn't taking part then


no, I don't

I'll have the cat

I'm now doubting he'll get her (not sure why) but she's one of my faves for him to be paired with - I think she'll be a character. Hopefully the producers will latch on to the fact that he's a bit of a fan - they love to run with their little stories. I just hope they don't pair her with Anton, as a nice send off (if it is his last year, that is). That would be a waste.

Just looked at her twitter and she seems like a lot of fun from this brief periscope. She could be a handful though! I love the fact that she talks about how she "fell" into some shops - and I had visions of her shopping on Bond Street and then I noticed that one of the tweets below is from a girl who served her in New Luck! Bless her.

Sorry, very off topic. But I guess there is bound to be a bit of speculation in the next week or so. I think the only ones that we can rule out are Daisy and Claudia, for respective height reasons

Good Lordy....... Miss a day on here and takes you three to catch up. 😳

YAY thanks Brian. See I'm still beside my two amigos NDD and Claire 👍🏻👍🏻


Thanks again Brian for taking the time to do the quiz and then marking it. 👍🏻⭐️

Brilliant in friends Sandy. Loved chandler too. 😉


Ahhhhhh Sandy. Wondered where my 'effing cat' had gone. Now I know 😂😂😂

Yes thanks Brian.

BIB. No jen . We hadn't noticed. 😂😂😂


Liking both of them Sandy
Oh Daisy had her checkup today and all clear. No problems well....... Except she peed all over the vet's floor. His fault, he pressed her bladder 😂😂😂


Star you should watch it, much better than Coronation Street 😉😂😂


I like her too loz. Brilliant in EE. 😀

Aww bless you <3


Awww I do love you guys <3






*Unfriends Afton*

Well that would be a first Daisy 😂


Brian of course it's not right. It's Jay, of course he'll win. 😂😂






😂😂😂


Think you'll have to have a word with him Sandy this is becoming a bit of a habit.😳😂



😂😂


Think she's ermmm a but of a busty lady Sandy so in ballroom there might well be a bit of 'gaping'. 😂😂


BIB and for that Ninaninja I shall be eternally grateful 😳😳


Oh bugger, I'll need to go and look now. 😳

Your okay ndd I've said it in an earlier post ..... Big boobs......gaping is this what you were trying not to say 😂😂


Me too Anne 😉

Can someone post the link for Louise in her strictly dress. Can't find it. Thanks


So ...... star. You love everyone but me okay I take it back, EE isn't better than Corrie it's as good. How's that 😀😀

As for you and Alphonso. I think you're keeping your cards very close to your chest and you'll have a 'big reveal' on the launch show. Either that, your paired with Mr N Jones and Alphonso is paired with Chloe. Don't keep us in suspense........ Which is it 💃🏻💃🏻🐐🐐😂😂

Here you go - it's a Frankenstein's monster of 2 not very nice dresses!

Good evening!



Oh no!!
Though you say that you'll be eating blackberries, and then asking for people's mobile phones to use! Never fear, I've got a solution, don't eat the blackberry, you'll still have a mobile phone and so you won't need to borrow anyone else's!!

Yep, my jokes are definitely getting worse...


Hang on ... Just hold on a moment ... let me get this straight, they won't let you do Strictly! Do they know who you are, Star?! Do they know?! The person who's had numerous tweets, liked, retweeted and replied to by Strictly finalist (should've been winner) Georgia May Foote and on occasions world champion dancer Giovanni Pernice. The person who takes the time to bring us loads and loads and loads of pictures of GG, and loads and loads and loads of videos of GG., all put together and labelled in an extremely artistic way! The person who'll frantically type up word for word everything that is said on a Periscope using a mobile keyboard, and then records the whole thing using a mobile phone just so that we don't miss anything. The person who whilst at the tour took the time to video the dances and the judges comments for us, and then right a mahoosive report for us all to enjoy. The person who wrote such wonderful GG reports for each part of Sergio's videos and the person who has such an in depth knowledge of the details of last year's Strictly that they haven't dropped a mark in the quiz! .... and you're saying that they won't have you?!!!!!!!! Well, there's only one conclusion to draw from that, you're just too much of a Star for them, Star!


I've been in fits of laughter reading this post! But you're absolutely right, Mrs G - that's precisely what they're worried about! Though the only difference between them and Jay is that I'm sure I'd think Star and Alfonso were the best dancers and deserved to win. Alas, we shall not see it...



Am I reading too much into it to think that Gio might have already been given a hint as to who his partner is...







Ah well, if the Geordie accent is your favourite in the UK, I'll settle for that!

VicsMum is indeed back - lovely to hear from her again!




You're more than welcome, Afton - it's an absolute pleasure to do it for all you lovely people, and a fantastic excuse to watch all of Sergio's GG videos again!


Oh phew, I was momentarily worried there that Jay might not win - and if that were to happen ... I fear the world may stop spinning on it's axis!

I think this is it :

There she is standing next to Tameka in what looks like a dreadful dress !

Good to hear about Daisy - I am glad my Lulu isn't the only dog who pees all over the Vet's floor in fear !
However, this is a lot less embarrassing than the time my horrible JRT tried to kill someone's rabbit in the waiting room !
My friend said that was perfectly respectable behaviour as rabbits are rodents and JRT's were bred to catch rats - but the rabbit's owner was not amused.

I think the Producers didn't dare have another series where the winner was crowned after a jive in week 3 - it takes the fun out of the competition - if star had been allowed to take part she would have sewn it up in the first week !

Interesting competition this time - no boy band members and no contestant who has 'dancer' as their profession in their passport !
So we have really no idea who might win

DS Playing funny buggers again

Star, Brian and Mrs G. Coffee splurting moment with your posts re the 'ditch'

Wicks, Sandybthanks for the links to Louise's dress. WT? Is that supposed to be. It's hideous. I hope they're not going to do to Louise and Tameka what they did to
Kellie and Georgia. All bar one of Kellie's dresses were awful. Georgia had a few howlers too. Katie's were all gorgeous and Helen and Anita's were, for the most part nice too.

Sandy. Poor Thumper. 🐰🐰

Dare I say I think a certain winner may have had it sewn up before that Jive in week 3! Saying that, I'm almost grateful for the fact it was so clear Jay was going to win, I was resigned to it completely so it muted my anger somewhat when the winner was announced!
And it certainly does seem more interesting this year, let's hope it doesn't descend too much into a popularity contest!

Hows that?!

Blasphemy. That's what it is, Afton. Blasphemy!!




Xxx

Georgia's launch dress was the worst and the jive outfit left a lot to be desired !
However, poor Kellie really had some dreadful dresses from start to finish - even that AS dress which she liked wasn't that nice when you really looked at it.

If that dress of Louise's is anything to go by we are in for some more disasters this season.
It is hard to believe that the people who dressed Georgia for the AS and the VW put poor Louise in that dress.

I've just noticed a rather silly grammatical error I've made - using 'right' when I mean to say "write"! And it's too late to change it, how annoying, "gets on my wick" as a certain Mr Goodman would say!

Okay I give in. What's the penance for blasphemy 😂😂😂
