So am I. Great pairing with Camilla.

Both Tom and Camilla look great together.

Yay! Really chuffed that Tom has been paired with Camilla!!! They're going to be amazing!!

I think Tom is going to be amazing. Has anyone seen his tap dance and drums routine?

Yeah, that video is amazing! I think he's going to be fantastic in the Latin. Camilla must be so chuffed that she got him. Lucky thing

I hope he gets great routines to really show off his talent. Also he shouldn't hold back.

Yeah I agree with you. He should just go for it. His acting should help him bring a lot into the performance side too.

I'm really, really happy that he's with Camilla!

I'll be honest and say that I have never been Camilla's biggest fan but I am really looking forward to seeing them dance together and maybe I'll even change my mind about Camilla.

I love Camilla and I'm so happy she's been partnered with one of the front-runners, hopefully. Though, I have to admit, I'm only supporting Tom because of Camilla .

I've never been her biggest fan either to be honest, but she was great last year and I've really warmed to her. I'm mainly supporting becasue of Tom though

That being said, I am glad he got a latin specialist as I think that is the side of things he may excel in.

I don't have facebook, but if I did, I'd have the SCD countdown up there too! (I am rather sad too ).

If they did a whole Holby series, I think my head would explode, I wouldn't be able to contain my excitement!


Camilla's not my favourite of the female pros, but I have to admit she is a good dancer, and she did well with Gethin last year. I agree they are going to be amazing though!

If they did a Holby/Casualty series I'd have to leave the country until it started because I'd be so excited

I think he's going to excel in latin too Ooohh, only two weeks to wait!!

Does anyone know what Tom is like? Temperament, that sort of stuff...Never seen him on TV

He seems like a really nice guy I remember seeing him on This Morning and felt that he came across really well. I'll see if I can find it on youtube...

I'd be absolutely beside myself if they did a Holby series...

Haha I think I'd have to come with you!

Ooh, though, wouldnt it be fantastic??

Tom's postponed his wedding for this, hasnt he?

I believe so, I think I read somewhere that it was due to take place in October.

The man has got dedication.

He has! And an extreemly understanding fiancee! Lucky woman!!

Wonder if he'll carry on filming Holby whilst doing Strictly?

I was going to say before, the only thing better than this would be appearing in SCD itself!

I don't know too much about Holby's filming schedule, except that they film for at least 5 days a week. However, as it is only on once a week it's no where near as hectic as a soap like Eastenders or Coronation Street.

The thing with Holby is (as you probably well know!) that characters can not appear for six weeks or longer, but still be in the show. I would guess that maybe he will just do odd scenes to show that he is still around, but he shouldn't have any big storylines coming up because really his cancer one's only just over.
