Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #5

[Professor Yaffle]

Another reveal coming up on Lorraine.

The clue was Simon Calder possibly 'meditating'. I am not holding my breath as the silhouette didn't look like the main man that I am praying for.

Another clue the EE doof doofs. Looks like a female actor.

 

[ChastityDingle]

So, is Nigel Harmon this year’s Helen Skelton, in that 99% of people are convinced he’s taking part, but he gets announced about a month after everyone else?

Same here. I bloody love a ringer. Who wants to spend 2 hours watching 15 duffers being forcibly dragged around the floor like errant shopping trolleys?
Some will be good from the start, some will be rubbish and improve, some will be rubbish and never improve, some will be a joy to watch no matter how bad they are and regardless of whether they ever improve (Gavin&Katya 4evs❤), some will be interminably dull no matter whether they can barely put one foot in front of the other or whether they have 20 years of dance experience.
It’s not an actual dance competition, it never has been; it’s a light entertainment show with a dance-based premise. There can be 40+ years between the oldest and youngest contestants in a series; it’s never going to be a level playing field in terms of ability.

Agree!

The bit about errant shopping trolleys reminded me - I just saw the clip again recently of Tony's first performance from last year. He was so uncomfortable, looked totally out of his depth, everything. And yet, he entertained me so much as the weeks went on, I used to look forward to seeing what he and Katya would deliver. The Full Monty was probably one of my favourite performances of the whole series. He worked like a demon throughout, and I loved him!

There is another Strictly reveal on Lorraine at 9:10am. Eastenders doof-doofs was a clue

 

[Keep Smiling]

Nigel Harmon is taking part. He’s a definite.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Another clue is Downton Abbey.

The praying has worked methinks.

 

[Ablemabel]

Just saw three minutes of Lorraine. It's defo Harman thr last clue was a Downton reference.

On another note why is Lorraine so tit? Why is Bleakley pretending she knows anything about sun bed wars? WhAt has she done to her face?

Nigel better not turn out to be a twit.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Nigel is in for all you thirsting for him.

 

[LaBlonde]

SCREAMING.

SHAKING AND CRYING.

I AM GOING TO BANKRUPT MYSELF GETTING HIM TO DO A RHUMBA.

 

[Fillyjonk]

I forgot what a slog the first few weeks are when the episodes go on for about ninety million years as they try to get through everyone and inject more filler into it than Katie Price's face.

 

[Ablemabel]

He's definitely still got it

 

[LaBlonde]

my mother just messaged asking “who is he?!”

i replied I HAVE LOVED HIM FOR TWENTY YEARS because i’m dramatic.

(imagine if he’s awful now )

 

[lavendervase]

He's 5' 10. I say Katya please although Karen would also be good. Definitely not Dianne.

 

[SwizzleMalarkey]

I’m so excited for Nigel! Honestly I’ve fancied him since I was 15 when he first appeared in Eastenders!
I hope he can dance but even if he just stands there like a hat stand he’ll still get my vote.
