    or maybe they're scraping the "celebrity" barrel?
    It's as poor a line up as " I'm a non entity , get me publicity" on itv

    You'd watch if they got George Michael, hmm?

    It's always a load of people you've barely (at best) heard of. In the end I'd probably watch it if they weren't 'celebrities' if they were interesting people who engaged with the whole deal. So the fact I don't know most of them from Adam doesn't necessarily stop me watching it. If they are all insufferable wannabees then I'll not bother, but give them a chance, I guess.

    Having said that, I didn't watch any of the last series at all

    Generational thing.  Possum knows the Youtube chappy.  I don't.

    I honestly don't much care who's in it as long as they make the most of the opportunity to have one on one tuition with world class professional dancers.  Priceless really.  We love it but then we still go to dance class every week of the academic year so we enjoy the good dancers and learn loads from the ITT show in the week when they do choreography and such - but we record that so we can FF the naff bits.

    She does think he'll be terrible though!

    They could wear frocks ... or at least one of them could  ;)

    tsk @ you. I said he was the only name I knew. 

    Audition amateur dancers and them the chance of furthering their career , not Z list has been and no hopers. ( John Simpson and Anne Widdecombe in the second category)
    Some ( SOME ,NOT ALL ) viewers will vote bases on the " celebrity " and not on their dancing so it's as much/more about popularity than talent.
    I love dance and took lessons for many years ( medals and EVERYHING) but I can't watch the programme due to the hystrionics and screeching of the audience and the obligatory standing ovation following even the most mediocre performances.
    I know others will disagree and that fine with me. We all have our opinions.

  • I agree,it's really annoying! We had to mute the sound when Brucie was on. Not sure I want to watch it this year,Tess gets on my nerves too,with her great long swingy arms,I can't stop looking at them!

    Probably the most entertaining part of the show is watching to see what ridiculous outfit Tess is wearing.  I'm sure half of them are created by somebody working in a dark room with the lights switched off.
