    Strictly Come Dancing 2010

    According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedan...rst_news.shtml , there will be 3 new male professionals this year & some of the old favourites have been dropped:
    This year on Strictly there will be 14 celebrities vying for the title. The 14 Professional dancers partnering the celebrities are:

    Artem Chigvintsev, Jared Murillo, Robin Windsor, Anton du Beke, Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Vincent Simone

    Ola Jordan, Flavia Cacace, Erin Boag, Kristina Rihanoff, Natalie Lowe, Aliona Vilani, Katya Virshilas

    So no more Darren & Lilia, Matthew, Brian & Ian as regular competitors. However....
    This series sees the addition of a professional dance group, dedicated to performing routines on a scale never before seen on Strictly. The group will feature Strictly regulars and some new professional faces. The group routines promise to deliver show-stopping dance spectacles.

    Positions in the professional dance group have been offered to:

    Lilia Kopylova, Darren Bennett, Brian Fortuna, Ian Waite, Matthew Cutler

    And a bit about the new boys:
    ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV, a Latin Champion who is a graduate of 'So You Think You Can Dance' in the US and has unique experience of very different dancing genres in addition to his ballroom champion-level skill. Artem has also starred in 'Burn The Floor' across the globe.

    JARED MURILLO, who at 21, was a US open Swing Youth champion. Trained in America, Jared was a principal dancer in the movies 'High School Musical' 1 & 2.

    ROBIN WINDSOR has completed five world tours of the worldwide ballroom dancing phenomenon 'Burn the Floor', in which he has starred and choreographed routines.
    No mention of whether Brucie is back yet.....

    Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2010

    Brian F. has already turned down the offer so he won't be on the show at all. The others in the dance troupe were apparently still considering it.

    There will be two fewer celebs than last year but rumour is that there is a larger budget so the celebs should be more well known. There are already rumours circulating about who might be invited to take part.

    Alesha is back as a judge and there is talk of Arlene P being involved again in some capacity. Bruce F hadn't decided whether to continue when I last heard.

    The studio used is changing - the new one will be considerably larger. Likely to be some new dances included as well.

    Not that I am paying much attention to all this stuff......

    Listening to the radio this morning - it appears that Ann Widdicombe will be one of the celebs this year!

    Ah...so she is the 'John-Sargeant' for this series then: short, slightly overweight and not excessively attractive (at least based on modern Western standards).

    I hope we see some more 'radical' celebs this time. A couple of ideas: (i) someone from the Muslim community - eg. Abu Hamza (ii) one of the more pompous guys from Dragons Den

    I’ve watched every series and last year was eagerly awaiting another series but was so disappointed, it just lacked something. I think the dumbing down by exchanging Arlene with Alesha was the main reason Bring back cougar Arlene (she was my role model) at least she was articulate.

    As for Bruce, does he still have capacity to make that kind of decision?

    I just know there are going to be some Cringe worthy hide behind the cushion moments. I don’t think she’ll go out in the first round, I think she’ll be kept in to keep me cringing

    If Ann is on the show, then she is sure to be in for at least 3 weeks, especially if she dyes her hair blonde and goes a bit 'vampy'.

    As a Welsh rugby fan, I have to disagree where Gavin Henson is concerned. It looks like he's turned his back on rugby to live the life of a reality TV celeb instead, which is a great loss of an outstanding talent. I just hope, as he is doing Strictly, that he can dance. Anything better than Joe Calzaghe would be a plus!

    An article was posted on walesonline.co.uk by mistake today. It listed the following celebs as appearing on Strictly this year:

    Gavin Henson
    Michelle Williams
    Ann Widdecombe
    Scott Maslen
    Kara Tointon
    Tina O’Brien
    Peter Shilton
    Matt Baker
    Goldie
    Paul Daniels
    Jimi Mistry
    Pamela Stephenson
    Felicity Kendal

    The article's gone now, as I think they've realised that they're a bit early!

    The BBC just commented and said "Celeb information can only be released officially at 00.01am so anything you have seen has not been confirmed."

    Fair enough - they did not delete my post.

    And I only recognise 7 'celebs'.

    Pamela Stephenson is immortalised in this sketch. I think she's a therapist these days......

    I must be wasting my life . If Matt Baker used to present Blue Peter then I've got nine .

    Gavin Henson - Welsh rugby union player
    Michelle Williams
    Ann Widdecombe - Conservative MP
    Scott Maslen
    Kara Tointon
    Tina O’Brien
    Peter Shilton - England goalkeeper (70's/80's and in the slightly overlooked 1990 squad that reached a World Cup semi-final in Italy. Yes, it really did happen: a semi-final!! and a bit unlucky to go out at that stage too.)
    Matt Baker - Blue Peter?
    Goldie - musician
    Paul Daniels - magician
    Jimi Mistry - actor
    Pamela Stephenson - comic actress, now therapist
    Felicity Kendal - actress and national treasure

    But I'm not going to look up who the others are.

    If Matt Baker is the ex-Blue Peter presenter then he was a decent gymnast as a young man and I expect great things.

    I think Matt Baker really looks like Paul Farrel (forumite) and if he dances like him, then we're in for a treat!
