I imagine it will be 6.30/7pm sort of time. With results after 9!

big thanks

Lol! I never saw the show with JLC presenting so I have no idea what he is like although he seems popular on here. If it was a toss up between Joe or Claudia presenting IIT I would definitely go for Joe. Claudia was very annoying imo.

Although I did watch the first series of SCD I never watched the show they did after it, not sure why not? They should definitely bring it back though because I enjoyed the one they had after SDF!

Yes I think I would prefer Joe to Claudia if I had to choose between the 2! She was so negative about everything and trying to be funny - think I have said it on another thread that it was like an Audience with Claudia!!

Rubbish!

Yeah and OMG if this is the true line up Im gonna scream. Im so exited that I mite wee myself lol....Ok methinks I need a life.

Zoe Ball (presenter) and Ian Waite
Darren Gough (cricketer) and Lilia Kopylova
Siobhan Hayes (actress) and Matthew Cutler
Gloria Hunniford (presenter) and Darren Bennett
Jaye Jacobs (actress) and Andrew Cuerden
Colin Jackson (former athlete) and Erin Boag
James Martin (TV chef) and Camilla Dallerup
Patsy Palmer (actress) and Anton Du Beke
Fiona Philips (presenter) and Brendan Cole
Dennis Taylor (snooker player/commentator) and Izabella Hannah
Will Thorp (actor) and Hanna Haarala
Bill Turnbull (TV journalist) and Karen Hardy

I thought that guy from Eastenders was gonna be on it though....Nigel Harman I think is his name. Apparenty he is supposed to be a really good dancer or sumthing

Which one is going to be the plucky underdog this year do you think? - possibly Dennis Taylor d'ya reckon?

This if deffo the true line up! Have u not been to the BBC site?

SCD

yay go will!!I read somewhere that he's really nervous but I'll be voting for him all the way....!! Will to win!!

I have lots to vote for at the beginning - particularly Bill Turnbull (who is nervous as well!), Anton and Patsy and Brendan (only for Brendan not Fiona!)

Also want Darren G and James M to do well too! And Ian and Zoe!

Too many to choose from!

I'm glad that the dancer who partnered Christopher Parker is not back...can't stand her.

Pretty good line-up, already have eyes on some of them & see their performance although I can't say I'm looking forward to Gloria Hunniford & Denise Taylor on this line-up.

Hanna Kartunnenen was great! Such a fab dancer!!! Agree about Dennis and Gloria though - have a feeling they could be car-crash tv!

Lol! I was really hoping that they would have Hannah back for this series. I thought she was brilliant especially as Chris was probably one of the weakest dancers too. I particularly loved that show dance she did during the final (I think it was) to "Flashdance - What a Feeling" with that topless guy (sorry I can't remember his name ). I've got it on tape and it's still fab even after the 50th viewing!

Her and Chris did their show dance to 'What a feeling' - the dance she did with that topless guy is now her dance partner, he's called Victor da Silva.

They do exhibition dancing like they did on SCD.

I think Chris and Hannah danced their show dance to "Fame", with Hannah and Topless guy dancing their exhibition to "What a Feeling". I always get those two songs mixed up! Ahh, Victor da Silva that was it. That's great those two have teamed up as they were brilliant together. I would love to see them live I bet they are spectacular!

bill turnbull looks like he can move and has a great partner also matthew cutler could be a dark horse

Yeah I'll go with that. He seems the kinda cheeky chappy that the nation will love and get behind. Plus he fits the bill for the type of person the Revel-Howard likes to mock

Will Thorpe is a bit of a dark horse. I saw his little promo bit and he looked pretty flash...like he could handle himself on the dance floor, so I wouldnt be surprised if he's uber competitive.

Glad to see the du Beke has got a reasonably healthy partner...not that Leslie or Esther werent....just someone a bit younger so he doesnt have to charm them as much. Wasn't too pleased to hear about her dizzy spells though. Poor Anton. I want him to finish like 2nd this year. The highest he got was 3rd with Leslie wasnt it?

Loving the fact that Darren has Gloria. What a riot thats gonna be....especially in the Rumba Eeep Old people and sexy suggestive dances.........shouldnt be allowed. Before I get complaints about ageism and what have you, think back to the ill-fated Tango of Esther Rantzen and her higher thigh action......*shudders* urgh

Yes u might be right there Glitter!!

Agree with u Luton about the nightmare of Esther's tango!!! not good - but Gloria has had dance experience before so she may not be too bad!! Be good to see how Darren cope though after the easy ride he had last time!

Anton should go far this time - that is at least if the dizziness holds off!!

Think everyone should keep an eye out for Bill too - seen him on breakfast showing his skills off and on the promo...he looks like a bit of a mover!!

Not just Esther - Carol Vordermann's 'sexy' face still gives me sleepless nights!

"I feel liberated!"

Lol! That was awful wasn't it! I was cringing the whole time and those "skin" coloured outfits didn't help either did they!

Only a day to go now!

Carol made a right fool of herself and then went on to slag SCD off!!! Which only served to make her look bitter!!!

Silly woman!
