Belle yes I like him too. Actually all the soap stars here are quite good actors (male and female).

I think that's what makes Strictly so popular AnnG. At the beginning you have those that go racing off in front but then the rest start to learn and eventually overtake them :-D

I like Nigel Harman, I just hope he can learn to dance ;-) :-D :-D

It is not normally somebody we forecast to do so at the beginning is it?

LondonBelle

Quite a diverse selection, I wonder who will raise the glitter ball this year :-0 :-D

Les Dennis is the latest and final contestant. There are a lot of older people on it this year.

If you want to see who they all are, this link has pictures and a brief spiel about each.

Being a soap watcher I do know the Eastenders stars and also the Corrie and Emmerdale stars.
I had not realised that the very good looking and quite a good actor, who plays Freddy Slater in East Enders is jade Goody's son.

LondonBelle

They always have a token Eastender :-D Although I didn't realise his mum was Jade Goody :-)

Just heard another announced on Breakfast TV.
I don't know him from Eastenders, but remembered his name because of his Mum and her story.

I am adding the celebs are they are announced, but as I am just editing the original post it does not rise to the top of the board. :-)

10 announced, maybe 2 or 3 to go?

There are 4 so far that I do not have a clue who they are. :-S

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 8 Aug 2023 13:59

Names, it's only Angela and Amanda that I've heard of:-0 :-D

So I know who four of them but for the others I don’t know their names or their faces.

Londonbelle, have you not heard of Angela Rippon. She was a newsreader years ago, did a famous high kick on the Morecombe and Wise show and now does Rip off Briton.
Amanda Babbington was in amongst other things, Sherlock.
Kristen guru- Murphy does the news on 4 or Sky.
Adam Thomas used to be in Emmerdale.

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 8 Aug 2023 09:25

None of those names that you've just added ring any bells with me but hopefully their faces will look familiar :-0 :-D

MotownGal

MotownGal Report 8 Aug 2023 08:52

I am adding the names as they are revealed. Although I am not sure who all these 'stars' are.

LondonBelle Report 5 Aug 2023 17:11

It seems to be coming around very quickly this year :-0

I always think autumn and winter when I think of Strictly mind you the weather has been rather autumnal :-0

So far I've heard of two of them, 50%, which isn't too bad :-D I expect when I see them I will recognise a few more :-D
