Laura - potentially Caroline Flack (not sure if she had proper dance experience?)
Ohhh no not Flackers. Can't stand her. Don't know how she won. Laura reminds me of Pixie and Helen but more like Pixie. Two of my favourite girls to of do strictly

Yes, Flackers reminded me more of Zoe Ball -albeit with a lot more dance training- highly-strung ladette type, excellent dancer, nurturing dance pro.

Laura does remind me of Caroline but mainly because they're good mates so I'm used to seeing them together and they're similar types of people. Not similar dancers though ... think their strengths are different. I'd say (early days though) Laura's is ballroom where Caroline's was Latin.

Laura is nothing like Flackers. At least she didn't date 16 year old Harry Styles

Laura - Zoe for me.

Would love to see Laura reach the final and present on either ITT or the main show in the future.

No you're right, Flackers was much more entertaining.

Agree/agreeish with 8/15 .... not saying which

NB- hope Danny doesn't have Scott's overwork meltdown around week 9.
Wait, so Danny is still filming his show as well if yes, then wow. ..things are going to get harder for him.

Will reminds me of Holly Valance - decent dancer, quiet, laid back, clever, witty, self-depreciating and with a wicked sense of humor.

No, Danny left Hollyoaks ages ago. As far as I know he doesn't have any work on at the moment, so he shouldn't do a Scott Maslen.

Laura – nope. Can’t think of another non-neurotic, talented female presenter without dance experience.
.
Christine Bleakley? Alex Jones?

Danny definitely not like Scott Maslen, first of all Danny is only doing strictly and not filming soap and also Danny is a better dancer and will not have a meltdown in Week 9 like Scott.

I agree with the people who said he reminds them of Ricky Whittle as both Hollyoaks, good looking guys, very good dancers and both accused of being cocky, arrogant and being bland.

Even though I liked his character in Hollyoaks, I wasnt a big fan of Ricky I preferred Chris but this year my support will being going to Danny as I like him due to Hollyoaks and being a very good dancer I couldnt care less if he is a ringer.

Good to know- being a bit lazy in my fact-checking this year

Christine Bleakley? Alex Jones?
Yep- good call; similar personnas and dance abilities. But I hope Laura gets further than both of them- I'm loving all the ringers this year, but I also hope someone without much dance background gets to do the J-word...
