We can now speculate who the BBC may try to sign for the next series.....

Bearing in mind their will be a number of ex soap stars / actors or actresses usually seen in BBC shows plus retired sportstars, presenters and singers who are falling from the public eye.......who do you expect to grace our screens next time around?

A few ideas I've had are below....

Coleen Nolan
Lisa Snowdon
John Barrowman
Tina O'Brien
Richard Madeley
Deborah Stephenson
Myleene Klass
Steve Blackley
Mark Lawrenson
Nadia Sawalha
Danny Wallace
Actor who played Charlie or Josh in Casualty

Love your idea of a Nolan sister.

As long as they don't do a Marie Osmond doll dance routine, or any dance to their own songs of course...

alan hansen

I think it's pretty likely Melanie Sykes will feature.

I will hope she does do it, I like her

Jenni Falconer / Andrea McClean is another rumour - would be the usual GMTV representation! But would prefer to see a guy (Ben Shepherd) from GMTV as all the women have been rubbish and Andrea was first off on Dancing On Ice.

Isn't Steve Backley rumoured to be doing Dancing On Ice? Or is it me that started that rumour??

I've put some suggestions on another thread I think, but I would also like to add Dan Snow to the list!!

Steve Backley doing Dancing On Ice.

Feel free to put your nominations on the thread for SCD 2008

Andrea was the third person to be voted off on Dancing On Ice by the way.
I'd love to see a singer or band member from something thats still going strong. Perhaps Keisha from the Sugababes or Nadine from Girls Aloud.

I think Jason Donovan is a possible

Sharon Davies - swimmer
Suzi Quatro - singer
Paul Nicholas - actor
Cleo Rocos - actress
Any Rachel who plays football for England ( from 3)
Daley Thompson -athlete
Lisa Rogers - presenter
Gail Porter - presenter
Tony Livesey - editor
Frank Bruno - boxer
Glynis Barber - actress

Sunnetra Sarker wouldn't suprise me....just landed a big role in casualty, has done things with BBC before, i.e The Chase, has done a wide variety of things and is a nice girl!

Much as I would like to see Ben Shepherd I doubt he would do it as he has a degree in performing arts and is a dancer!

If she's working full-time on Casualty I'd have thought it would be unlikely she'd do this in addition, although she's great so it'd be nice!

What are the rumours like about Eastenders this year? Whoever's about to be thrown off it must be an eligible candidate - maybe Jo Joyner (who was in No Angels with Sunetra) could do it? I bet she'd be ace.

i think lisa snowdon is quite likely

i hope she does do it i think she'd be good

I'd like to see Laurence Llewyn Bowen!

Please God not Sharon Davies

I read that they were going to offer Alesha the job of presenting it this year as they want Tess and Vernon to both compete.

Thats a colourful list - if they had Glynis Barber they could also invite Michael Brandon (her actor husband) if they insist on this marriage thing - much rather them than Tess and Vernon.

Heather Peace (Londons Burning & Thed Chase) is a possible aswell.

If they were to go down the 'competitive partnerships' route again I would much rather a non married competition. Mainly because I would love to see Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond compete against each other, that would be funny.

So my ideal list would include:

Jeremy Clarkson
Richard Hammond
Alan Hansen
John Barrowman

Claudia Winkleman
Marian Keyes
Charlotte Church
Fern Britton

Cannot think of any more, may update later

I don't know where this video is from but consider this a taster

Thank you so much. I have spent ages trying to think where I had seen Sunetra before, as I didn't know the actresses name!


I don't mean to come across all "well if you don't have a source, it can't be true" as I know people can on forums, I would just like to ask, where did you hear this?

Whoever suggested Claudia, I think that would be brilliant. Who would we pair her with?

Top Gear team would be an excellent choice too, and somebody on another thread suggested Luke Roberts (Joseph in Holby City) which I very much like the idea of too .

Jack Branning off 'Enders - please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott Maslen

Seconded!

Thanks for that. I didn't know he had done that. I picked him because he has a sense of humour. So he would be starting from scratch then.
