Will Michael win this...

Alex enterred X-Factor 2005 won 2008
George enterred BGT 2007 won 2008

Will Michael complete the hatrick?

expect fireworks with Ellery. Not known for his mild manner.

For you that dont know who is - he is the former Great Britain rugby league captain.

Jessica took part in Strictly Ice Dancing (BBC) a few years ago along with David Seaman.

An unfair advantage, as some may say .

I am really pleased about that - I loved his partnership with Mel - I hope they are paired together again

A little light on the boy-candy front for my liking.

I agree, I don't know what it is but I just don't like him. Hopefully gone in the first week!

I'm sure the men won't be complaining!

well after his mishap and his presenting on the show I think he will get to the final with just his sympthy votes

we know the winner already

Can't see me getting excited over this lineup - haven't heard of most of them.

Who is:
Jennifer Metcalfe
Gemma Bissix
Zoe Salmon
Jessica Taylor
Jeremy Edwards (is he a rugby player)?
Ray Quinn - X factor?
Dan Hipgrave
Ellery Hanley (again rugby)?
Michael Underwood (ah yes - was injured last year).

Gemma Bissix = Clare from Eastenders. Fit in every way known.

Zoe Salmon = From Blue Peter = former model and has years of BP daring do and some dancing missions behind her.

Jeremy Edwards (is he a rugby player)?

Ray Quinn - X factor? Runner up to Leona - same channel same timeslot tho different day which suggests fanbase.

Jennifer Metcalfe - no idea
Gemma Bissix - Eastenders actress
Zoe Salmon - former beauty queen and Blue Peter presenter
Jessica Taylor - singer with Liberty X (The Hear'say rejects who were more successful than the winners ever were!)
Jeremy Edwards - Holby City or Casualty actor
Ray Quinn - X factor runner up to Leona Lewis in 2006
Dan Hipgrave - Guitarist with Toploader and Gail Porter's ex hubby.
Ellery Hanley - rugby league superstar
Michael Underwood - GMTV presenter injured last year

Metcalfe is from hollyoaks

Jeremy Edwards was once engaged to Rachel Stevens wasn't he? Interesting him doing DOI and her doing SCD this year. He was in the first series of Celebrity Big Brother, the only one I ever watched.

I only know 4 of them - Melinda Messenger, Jessica Taylor, Todd Carty and Ray Quinn. I've heard of Graham Le Saux but can't think what he looks like. I've never heard of the other 8!

Here's a Graeme Le Saux pic:

For those unaware:

Jennifer Metcalfe is a Model and Actress in Hollyoaks.
Roxanne Pallett is an Emmerdale star.
Melinda Messenger is a Glamour Model and Television Presenter.
Zoe Salmon is a Blue Peter Presenter.
Gemma Bissix is an Actress, best known for, Hollyoaks and EastEnders.
Jessica Taylor is a former Liberty X Band Member.

Dan Hipgrave is a Toploader Guitarist.
Michael Underwood is a Television Presenter.
Ellery Hanley is a former Rugby Player.
Jeremy Edwards is an Actor, best known for Holby City.
Graeme Le Saux is a former Footballer.
Ray Quinn is an X Factor Finalist and Singer.
Todd Carty is an Actor, best known for The Bill and EastEnders.

None of these leave me with a sense of excitement about the programme ....... especially the return of the infuriating Michael Underwoood who got more than his 5 minutes last year!

The rest are a mixture of perennial reality tv contestants:yawn:, out of work actors, retired sports people and the usual cast of Hollyoaks.

Looking at that list, Jessica Taylor is the one that could be the best skater of that bunch.

I want Roxanne to win already.
I know all of the girls this year, and only hadn't heard of Graeme Le Saux or Ellery Hanley.

Is Coleen Nolan Taking part I wouldn't mind seeing her tbh. And I heard Jen Metcalfe wasn't taking part, and that's why Gemma Bissix was brought in

I guess we'll have to wait until the official line up is announced .

interesting to see their ages. Gemma and Zoe are in the mid 20s to 30 (ish) bracket and look very fit. I think Melinda is older but fits the strong and fit category too? Jessica is in the same age bracket from her band? Roxanne and Jennifer? Looks like a strong compettion there.

The guys seem older in most cases - with Ray as one obvious exception though there may be others.

Perhaps they needed some support for Clare (and Suzanne if she is there at all) on the tour next year and are recruiting?

Melinda is 37, and very top heavy - not so good for balancing on the ice.

Cant wait to see Ray Quinn as i think he is Great

Ray, Michael and Todd should be good to watch.

Hope Andrei is going to be back with a decent partner this year!
