Strictly Come Dancing 2022 #29

I love Larry Lamb so very chuffed with that signing

 

[Fillyjonk]

Larry Lamb... Phwoar, now we're talking! Is he tall? If so, Nadiya but if not, I think he'd be a perfect first partner for Lauren or Michelle.

He'll probably get bloody Amy

ETA - Nope, he's 6ft2 so Nadiya please!

It's Nadiya! (in the showdance dress, with a candlestick)

Larry Lamb is the fourth celebrity contestant confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 2022

He has starred in numerous TV series, playing iconic roles such as Mick Shipman in the BBC's multi-award winning comedy series Gavin & Stacey and Archie Mitchell in BBC One’s flagship soap EastEnders

Well, that pairing will do VERY nicely.

Two #ads in one post? Man’s got skills

He doesn’t need the glamour of Strictly, he’s busy opening provincial Italian chain restaurants.

Why is he dressed as Captain Birdseye is it a fish finger restaurant?

So a male and female celeb left - Gio and Lauren to partner unless there's a same-sex couple?

 

[OtherMoon]

Ohhh no, sparkly leggings for Jowita. Another Lion King abomination.

It could be worse they could be furry. Small mercies people!

Imagine if they got Alison Steadman to dance with Kai - a Pam & Mick doubler!

I’m getting seriously hot at the prospect of Larry Lamb dancing a festive American Smooth with Nadiya!

Wracking my brains here - who won the Christmas special last year? I can remember Moira, Adrian, Mel and Fred but I don't think any of them won. Was Christmas tipsy tho, innit.

Singer Anne-Marie.

Singer Anne-Marie.

Oh. Nope, don't remember at all!

Bring back Ritchie for Gio

 

[Fillyjonk]

Bring back Ritchie for Gio

They can wear snowman onesies this time!

 

[louseylou]

Oh. Nope, don't remember at all!

She was paired with Graziano.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Oh. Nope, don't remember at all!

She danced with Graz & was pretty good

Edit: actually, she’s less good than I remember

 

[glasgow27]

I wonder if Karen is taking part. Would be odd if she was out pre Halloween two years in a row and did neither Christmas special. Unless she is truly done.

Dressed as Charles and Camilla …

I wonder if Karen is just not bothered? She’s 40, got her husband and dogs and a tour with Gorka in Feb. She might be quite happy to have a few weeks off-ish.
Gio and Anton are doing the corporate circuit with their double act (those jackets!) Wonder if he prefers that to training for the Xmas special?

 

[BDY_97]

Anyone on this thread know much about odds and how it works etc? I always see people say someone is the favourite to win/favourite to be eliminated but I don’t understand how it actually all works Looking to put a bet on but not sure if it’s too late in the game now?

I’d imagine the hourly rate probably works out at 100 times that for the Xmas special, so I can’t blame him for that.

Those jackets are a hate crime against us all, though.
