http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/strictlyc...8-15217f13c891
I know this has been somewhat discussed and debated in other threads, but this is the actual announcement. |

Glad Neil Jones has joined, guessed he would be announced later after his wife was confirmed

What?! So we're having 17 couples take part?
Are Chloe and AJ actual Pros or are they troupers? |

3 British dancers!
That's one to make all the Brexiters happy, the ones who complain about "all these broody Russians", etc, etc, etc... |

Surely this indicates we have some very young celebrities taking part, too.
I can't see them pairing 20 and 21 year olds with people in their 30s, even. |

well feeling old today as dance world friends kids take part in Strictly
so now along with Kevin and Jo - Adrian Pritchard's son AJ joins too - he and his partner Chloe are great dancers will make a good addition to the show and like Jo and Kev come from a great dancing background. Curtis AJ's brother is another great dancer too and is currently in Burn The Floor. AJ's father Adrian was a great dancer and competitor and now a high level judge. |

I kind of thought this might be the case, with Anton sitting out more of the pro routines to round out the numbers. He seemed to be participating in fewer of them last year so it would make sense

was so obvious that he would be joining the show not heard of the other 2 but I am sure they will be great additions to the Strictly family |

Or maybe an existing Pro is on the way out?
Just from their age would think they are there to take part in pro routines |

Can we not just get rid of Anton and put AJ in who is getting paid the same (or more) than other pros and does less work?
What does it matter about their ages? What about Julliane Hough? Two DWTS titles at 18. Witney Carson DWTS champion at 22. Lindsay Arnold knocking out brilliant routines at 21-22. If you are talented, brilliant teachers and choreographers and can bring the show into the modern age, then come on in. We need to start securing the future of the show. AJ and Chloe will hopefully be in the show into the 2020s. The old guard will be going and the new will take over. Ola was 23 when she started don't forget. |
