Ah, I hadn't noticed the new one on his arm - was looking at the back one only! Seems like he has a new lady.

I wonder how her boyfriend feels about her doing strictly? Hoping she gets Neil so she doesn’t fall victim to the strictly curse and cheat? She has form….

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think Sam is a sweetheart and he seems to absolutely adore Zara. Kind of hoping Zara gets knocked out early so he doesn't have to suffer.

I like Sam - I listen to his podcast with Pete Wicks. They had Zara on recently and talked about the cheating. I’m looking forward to Sam forcing Pete to come and support Zara.

I love that podcast too, even though I'm sure I'm way outside the demographic they're aiming for.

Sam is absolutely lovely. Massive puppy energy.

I told you, it’s meeeeee

Being serious, he may well which would be lovely for him and devastating for everyone else. He was lucky not to do an accidental launch with the mirror though

I like him too, and the podcast. Have a big Pete Wicks crush though, and I know I shouldn’t!

 

[Woolmercardington]

Yes. It's such a stupid thing to say. IMO sexiness has zero to do with looks and everything to do with personality.

It's also stupid because a 'sexy and I know it' type of female contestant will go down like a lead balloon with the Strictly audience. Even more so by being an ex-Love Islander.

 

[JulesC]

Zara likes to be taken seriously these days (as well as being the sexiest person ever ), she’s done a few documentaries for BBC, gawd knows why. I think she’ll be rubbish, she’s very awkward in the tik tok dances she does with Sam and Pete.

 

[soccergirl]

I absolutely don't believe this quote - it's from the Mail, sourcing the S*n who say 'reportedly told an insider' - sounds like she said she was happy to wear short sexy dresses and they've run with it.

I assume as a reality TV veteran she's savvy enough to know what Strictly's demographic is - she needs to play up the 'happily partnered up, girl-next-door' stuff before the audience hates her on sight, quicker than you can say 'Ekin-su'!

It's also stupid because a 'sexy and I know it' type of female contestant will go down like a lead balloon with the Strictly audience. Even more so by being an ex-Love Islander.

There was a Love Island contestant on Dancing On Ice at the beginning of this year and she did a ‘sexy’ performance which went down like a lead balloon with the viewers as she came off as quite conceated. I think she was eliminated the following week

It's a shame that if a woman wants to channel her sexual energy and wear sexy dresses then she's arrogant or vulgar, while Gorka can flash his boobs for votes and crawl around on all fours in a corset.

I read the article and I thought that’s the reason she want to - to challenge the view of if a person dresses/looks a certain they are labelled as this or that.

Then I'll root for Zara to smash the patriarchy one thigh slit at a time. Especially if she pisses Ballas off

Zara is more or less toast anyway - she has the deadly combination of wrong fanbase and not being a great dancer. Granted she has youth on her side so can improve quickly but that's the imperative word. I personally see her as one of the first gone, particularly if people like Angela R & Les find a vote.

How do you know she’s not a great dancer?

 

[glasgow27]

How do you know she’s not a great dancer?

She's said herself that she isn't great and has virtually no background in it at all. And there's those TikTok dances.

 

[Applina89]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anybody know when we will find out who’s been paired with who?

 

[glasgow27]

If anyone is likely to be a surprise, I'd say it would be Eddie Kadi. He feels like someone they would only book if they had some moves.

He definitely seems to have musicality, going by a scan of his Instagram. He certainly loves afrobeat. I doubt he’ll get Jowita as too similar to Hamza. He seems like a kind and friendly soul.
