Too many potential candidates to vote for this year.

They hadn't enough letters left for opening credits after signing a Munchetty, a Fragepane and a Rutherford

Greg is an amazing addition. Of all the top Rio stars, he was the one I thought was most likely to do Strictly, and so he is! Yipee!

Having never watched EastEnders, I've no idea who Tameka is but she looks quite the character. She might irritate though, which is an issue.

Lesley can be and has been annoying when I've seen her as herself on TV before so she doesn't particularly fill me with hope. I don't want her with Anton because I like Anton and I don't want him lumbered with her. I know it's what *quite* a few on this forum wants because they don't like Mr Du Beke (), but after last year he deserves good again.

I still think as a whole the line-up is a bit underwhelming. If I could change things, I'd get rid of Laura, Melvin and Judge Rinder in an instant - I mean, god I think Rinder's signing like Melvin's is the low point if I'm honest.

It's an okay line-up that only been boosted in recent days because of Claudia and Anastacia being on the show for me, so it's all in the dancing I suppose. It's definitely not as good as last year's line-up though, that's for sure!

Sounds mean, but I would have made her older. I work with active, older people, aged 70 - 90ish and know what they look like

Think she ia a great addition, though like some others worry she might get irritating. But I'm like that about Will Young as well, and I think he is great and don't want to find out if he gets annoying

Naga to win

How many "chilli" jokes do you think we will get ??

I hope he will sign up next year.

There ya go Vicsmum

Brilliant lineup this year IMO.

What a Line Up. I think my favourite ever!

We can live in hope. I love me a bit of Schaffers

Brilliant lineup and so many possible winners in it. A bit worried as to who they will pair Claudia with although I think AJ would be the best for her - a young pro with a young celeb

Thank you for your input!

Great line-up overall.

So whose name made Claudia scream?!!! Will????

Obviously the cast skews young and with Tameka, Lesley, Anastasia & Naga, we have some very short ladies this year.

Natalie will surely get Greg so how much does he tick the "contender" box?

What happened to "that that you will not mention again" cwickham???

My faves in no particular order: Tameka, Ore, Lesley, Danny, Louise, Laura, Will

Can't wait now!!!

A lot of very short women this year two under five feet.

The Olympic signings are a big boost particularly Greg Rutherford and if he can dance I could see him in the final, I'm sure that Natalie has everything crossed

Greg is a good addition let's hope he is not another ewan

Claudia is only 4 foot 6

Probably Ed Balls. That would appear to her sense of the surreal.

Out if 15 I've only heard of four so this will be a completely open year for me.

I'm sure she does, and I have everything crossed for her! Would so love to see Natalie in the final.

The only really short one is Claudia, the rest are just normal short. Anyway they have 4 short male pros now.

Yes, I presumed it was Ed Balls too

How is that possible? I have heard of all 15 this year even though I have never seen an episode of Hollyoaks and stopped watching Eastenders some 10 years ago but still know the names of current cast members when they pop up on various programmes or website articles

If he can dance, Greg has got this in the bag hasn't he? I mean, unless he's competitive ( well .. of course he's competitive but THAT sort of competitive I mean.) He's very personable.
Please, please, please let him get Natalie!

Not sure what bearing it will have but I follow athletics and he strikes me as very competitive. He openly said how disappointed he was with his bronze medal in Rio. I definitely feel he'll be in it to win it. If he's good, he stands a very decent chance.

Either Greg or Claudia are both personable and friendly. could see them both in the final because of the Olympic factor which is just as big as it was in 2012. Of course the dancing will be a factor as well.
