Strictly Come Dancing 2023 #7

[soccergirl]

I’m sure I read somewhere that Jody isn’t that nice. But I can’t remember why?!

Looking good this year, I’ve long loved Angela S and Bobby is lovely isn’t he. Also Nigel & Les Dennis, he’s tooooo cute! He’s gona be awful but he seems so nice!

Someone here said that they'd met him and he was horrible, leading to him being dubbed 'Jody Cunty'! They didn't give any details though.

Not sure if it was the same poster who did a similar hit-and-run on Ellie Simmonds here last year (who was lovely as far as we can tell) - would be weird if someone went around alleging that beloved Paralympians are cunts..

I have a £20 bet in Nigel. I think he's a dark horse who could win it. He seems like he might be open to some extreme katyka style choreo. He'll always be Dennis Rickman to me in Eastenders although it was about 20 years ago

 

[Mark81]

I predict Thomas house parties ala The Ramsey’s every Saturday for the foreseeable ….. well until next week anyway

Professional leech Ryan Thomas will be milking his brothers appearance on there for all its worth

Nigel Harman AKA bad boy Dennis Rickman with his tan and tuxedo…Jesus

i got the feeling that he really downplayed his actual ability too. i have hopes!

Going to catch up on the thread now, just caught up on the show, and I loved every minute of it.
I have been so looking forward to Strictly (even more than usual) and at last it's here!

Seem like a nice group overall and I'm dying to see how they all get on.
I like the pairings (I had read all the spoilers but it was nice to see them actually together) - and all I can say now is - let's START DANCING

 

[EmmaS68]

Dianne has some of the professionals and celebrities over for a party. Zara is there but not taken her boyfriend Sam. Not sure who else is there.

 

[hellokittymermaid]

I’m here for it. Nigel FTW.

 

[nefariousnellie]

Nigel harman in downton abbey, unforgivable! (I just finished binging it and still not over my feelings)

 

[Jelly Bean]

I really hope Nigel is a good dancer for Katya's sake. She is so gifted it is unreal. She really deserves to go far this year.

 

[Ablemabel]

Eddie or Nigel for the win at the mo.

Watch me do the quickest volte face known to man.

 

[pineapplesandcheese]

I feel like the only one who didn't take to Bobby (I'd never heard of him before). He seemed like he was either drunk or half asleep, there was just something off about him

 

[lizzolyn]

Professional leech Ryan Thomas will be milking his brothers appearance on there for all its worth

Were the brothers in the audience? I went for my toilet break when he was on.

Your not alone, I didn't either

 

[Fillyjonk]

He has a bit of an odd vibe about him. He seems sweet but extremely goofy and not really with it - perhaps he is very, very nervous or has his late mum's intellect?

 

[Elleyunsun]

I’ve got about 30 pages to catch up on and the whole show oh dearrrrr
---
I didn’t tell everyone the pairings though (mostly because hardly anyone gave a duck haha)

 

[ChastityDingle]

I like Bobby, I think he is very sweet. I know him from Eastenders.

Possibly might not take it terribly seriously and as we discussed under spoilers Dianne mentioned the height difference with Tyler last year (more than once?) so It's surprising to see her partnered with a tall guy again.

I couldn't help noticing that Adam Thomas described himself as STARRING in Waterloo Road and Emmerdale. Bobby didn't describe himself as STARRING in Eastenders. And he won an NTA recently.

 

[Beth1980]

I am going to wait till they all dance and see how they do and see the connections with their pro dancers but I think some celebs and/or their partnerships will not come across well with viewers for different reasons. Most importantly looking forward to all the dancing and the joy the celebs and pro's have.

 

[ChastityDingle]

It’s the double breasted deer stalker isnt it.

I thought Giovanni wasn't going to bother standing up and meanwhile she was gone into paroxysms of delight over him!

Nadiya’s top fan being rational as always:

I hope Nadiya has an injunction in place???
