Much as I can't stand the show, I think I will be watching it this year! Darcey Bussell also one of the judges so another good reason to watch!
They going to dig her up then?
Seems in poor taste.
She'll not be amused.
Is this the least surprising announcement of the year?

Her autobiography "Between the Lines" is out on thursday, should be quite a revealing read.

If she can quite moaning about how cycling has been her life for years for five minutes that would be a start
meh

I bet it'll be all "me me meme me meme me"! 😆 ( [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/its-not-about-the-bike-still-worth-a-read ]Ref[/url] )
Pook has hit the nail on the head
Ohhh, that Vic..
Wasn't too sure who you meant for a momnet or two..
Not that I'll be watching mind, it's a POS that ought to be on BBC3..
"Good Game, Good Game.."
I don't warm to her, all that neurotic whiny self-obsessed stuff, and the pouting in cosmetics ads, just gives female sports people a bad name.
Mind you I guess that description could fit any premier league Soccer player.
As far as her upbringing was concerned, having watched that documentary on her, you'll not need to read the biography, just watch some old fast show sketches instead....
Yeah, it'll be crap watching her do the Argentine Tango in a skimpy outfit. When the wife puts Strictly on (you do call it "Strictly"?), I'll be walking right out of that room and go fiddle with bike parts in the garage.

let's just be clear here.....you do mean pulling your wanger?
It'll all end in tears, mark my words.
Bet her dad will be proud. Can't help thinking she should be talking to him.
Edited.
Does very much smell of cashing in while she can. In some respects I can't blame her, her earning power in the future is all about remaining in the public eye and somehow transition from athlete to personality.
Good luck to her, as above, she has to put food on the table.
If it was anything like the Argentinian Strictly I've seen clips of (definitely not work safe) then I'd be in the shed with DezB.

I believe the show approaches people they're interested in, rather than the other way around.

Well, she won't let me do it in the front room
I believe the show approaches people they're interested in, rather than the other way around.
Yes I'm sure they do. They pick some totally left-field people, some people who can actually probably dance and some people "of the moment". A lot of people turn it down though so it's not like asking is such an honour that you can't say no. I don't blame her, as I said, she has a finite period to reinvent herself as Victoria Pendleton, "sports personality" before she becomes Victoria Pendleton "former cyclist" in the minds of the general public. Might be she wants the latter and will do her best to earn a load now then quietly slip off stage when she has a family.
I'd rather someone of worth and achievement (like Vic) was famous than some vacuous ninny.
I think if she, and other athletes, spend their efforts and time on training rather than touring/modelling/filming they might be a whole lot better!
Yeah, you're right. She's won virtually bugger all, has she? Total lack of application I reckon! Way too busy swanning around doing girly stuff to actually train hard enough to be successful
Oh....wait.... hang on a minute....
🙄
binners was she happy with her olympic results?
There's one person in the world - her career-long nemesis - who's faster than her. And that's when she's ready for retirement. She's won a shed-load of World Championships and Olympic medals. How can you possibly question her application? I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous
Hang on... you're not her dad, are you? 😆
She's always made a big deal about how she likes to remain feminine and girly as well as being a top level athlete, and how the two aren't mutually exclusive. Strictly seems to be a perfect fit for her now that she has retired from competition.
Good luck to her.
Her dad seems like a right ****. He came across really badly in that documentary about her.

I heard she said if she had acheived as much as glasgowdan she could retire happy.
Really looking forward to it this year.
I don't know wether to be proud or a bit disgusted that Ms Pendleton reminds me a lot of an ex of mine, looks, personality, "physique" etc. Mad as a hatter she was, very strange personality. Fit though.
If she dances like she whines we are in for a treat!

Oh, and she's retired now. Hence the whole Strictly thing.
Guffaw lolcopters 😆 poor Vic being lampooned. It's not always wise to wear ones heart on ones jersey sleeve.
Not interested.
I like watching cycling, not ex cyclists prancing about in posh frocks.
You cant blame her for cashing in though.
Well said crashtestmonkey
