As Strictly come Dancing tweeted THIS I think there needs to be a thread to discuss those celebrities who are CONFIRMED.

This is no place for RUMOURS.

In previous series the "celebrity rumours" thread has always been used for confirmed names alongside continuing speculation. I really don't see the need for a separate thread.

The need is that one thread can be used for speculation and one can be used for discussion of confirmations for those who want to avoid either one.

Anyhow, looking forward to hearing who's in this time.

Why on Earth would anyone want to avoid either of them?

Some people might not be interested in the speculation and random suggestions, so might appreciate a thread which just contains the facts without having to wade through everything else?

I think Ed Balls has been as good as confirmed, hasn't he?

Unless everything was some late April fools joke, then yes.

Not really - the other thread is throwing names at a wall.
This thread is the names that have stuck.

The other thread seems to be solely for "people posters might like to see"

The first celebrity to be confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2016 (series 14) is Ed Balls.
Announced at 8.15 on The Chris Evans Show on BBC Radio 2

He is being interviewed on Radio 2 right now.

Of the previous politicians, Widdy lasted for weeks and Edwina Currie went out first. I wonder which category Ed will fall into.

Week 4ish.

Love this tweet from Strictly.

No surprises with Ed Balls, quite looking forward to him actually.

Yes, he doesn't really float my boat. Do we know when the next announcement is?

Announcement made me laugh (will mean something to those who have followed Ed Balls on Twitter)!

Quite excited for Ed Balls. Politicians are always loved and loathed in equal measure, but I can be impartial and say I believe he is a very good signing.
Following last year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the second celebrity revealed tomorrow evening.
