Apparently the Nancys this week will be doing a kissing task.

The lucky man is Ben Ellis from last year's ADWD

Ooh from Hairspray - lucky, lucky them

He is such a lovely man Worth stage dooring for

Top info, but how do you know ???

Twing runs one of Ben's Appreciation Societies! I guess she heard it from the man himself.

It's on his official website. The Nancys are lucky! He's hot

Wow, I envy the Nancys

His brother told us and also said it's on his official site

I'll second that. He's gorgeous and such a nice guy. I pretty much floated back to my hotel after meeting him! I will be green with envy watching that task but yay at seeing Ben on telly again

i wondered if there would be one this year, similar to when john barrowman kissed the marias in the middle of a scene to see how they would react, should be good

Let's hope Ben isn't as embarrassing as JB was with the Marias!
(I'm sure he'll be lovely)

I'd rather snog JB myself but still..
They should make them snog BH..and act like they enjoyed it...now that WOULD need a good actress.
haha

I only saw the JB kissing on youtube (can I say that here?) and thought it was great. I didn't find it embarrassing at all. If Ben could do half of a good job as JB, I think he should be proud.

or the Lord himself

Lucky Ben Ellis! I know they're actresses but how akward!

Ew, but would be very funny, wouldn' it? I mean, how much 'acting' does it take to kiss a good looking guy and show that you liked it?

Yay can't wait for more Ben on tv - those lucky Nancy's!

What on earth has this got to do with the role of Nancy? She doesn't have a remotely romantic/sexual scene at any point in the show.

Just a plug for success of previous runners up. Utterly pointless to this competition.

And I find them soooo cringeworthy to watch....

Yes, cringeworthy and pointless. I suppose it is a way to discredit the young untrained girls and push chosen one Rachel (why why why?)

Oh well each to their own! I enjoyed the John Barrowman one and Denise with the Josephs and didn't find them cringeworthy. As for pointless!. The winning Nancy will have to seduce an audience 8 times a week!!

From the little preview it seems like it shouldn't be as bad as I thought....it looks as though they are taking it very light-heartedly, so it should be fun, I hope

It looks like they are acting a scene from Hairspray which Ben is currently in

Makes sense then to have Ben on!

Any excuse to have Ben on makes perfect sense to me!

I'm really looking forward to this.

As soon as I saw Ben I sent my Joseph-obsessed friend (from last year ) a text being like "BEN!!" and she said had apparently said to her mum as soon as Ben appeared on screen, "wait for the text with Ben in capitals!"
