Just started..forget the web for an hour.
Good heavens, that's a nice dress that Rachel Riley's almost wearing.
That wig of Tony Jacklin's should have it's own show.
Going to watch it later. Has Erin Boag been saddled (fnrrr) with another geriatric loser or will she make it into week 3?
Rachel Riley 😛
I would of loved to be in on the BBC discussion when they said they need to do a lift involving Vanessa, so they call the dancers in one by one & ask if it can be done, then the light bulb moment, lets use two dancers instead, hold on that won't work, lets use three 😀
Weak line up, especially amongst the blokes. 3 fat old men, a dress maker, a token bloke from a BBC soap, a token bloke from an ITV soap and a retired sportsman.
Fiona Fullerton? I bet her own daughter doesn't know she is famous. According to IMDB she's had one TV/film acting job in the last 22 years. Fletz is like Russell Grant in a dress with the charm of an Alsatian with a sore arse.
It is a bit of a poor do when the dancers are more famous than the celebs.
...and WHERE HAS ERIN GONE?
I'll have a tenner on the woman from Corrie winning, Sophie Thingybob 2nd and token bloke from ITV soap 3rd.
Don't hold out a lot of hope for Rachel, she doesn't seem a natural mover. Looking forward to her journey though!
Love the politics too. Aliona won two years ago, got a bit bossy last year so I hear and got dropped in the off season by the beeb. Which really p'd her off enough to break the glittery omerta and speak out. Now Natalie's injured, they've asked her back again. And then hobbled her with Tony Jacklin, after getting Johnny Ball last year. I think that's the SCD equivalent of a horse's head!
I think Aliona only came back if she could get Jacklin. She'll be out in week 2. The only thing stopping her going out in week 1 will be Mark Benton doing a "Tommy Cooper" as he tries to run up a flight of stairs.
They need to show a bit more imagination when picking the celebs.
Can't imagine Arthur Scargill or Cliff Lazarenko are booked for panto this year.
Or Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.
Strictly Celebs shouldn't appear to be desparate for publicity.
Some of this lot do.
