nudge for anyone wanting to add their thoughts.

Couldn't get onto the dancing video via your link folks, but just googled Utube Tome Chambers dancing and it came up straight away. I must say I didn't expect him to be quite so good so I can see why there are rumblings of a controversial nature albeit tap dancing is entirely different from ballroom. However, he obviously has movement and an appreciation of timing and rhythm so perhaps this could be conceived as an advantage. He is I believe joint favourite to win with the bookies !!

Ooooh looks to be another promising series then


BTW Helen, its your turn lol

Margaret if you look at the clip that i posted the link for you'll see him dancing, the clip is what he did for his 1st audition tape and it was from the producers seeing this that he got the role in Holby City.

Seems to be a bit of controvery already as it says in one of todays papers that Tom whatever his name is, can already dance !!

Really do not like Christine Bleakley and can not watch the One Show.

Partnership of Gillian Taylforth and Anton could be interesting

hahahahahaha.

course I am - I'll be asking for four candles next!!!!!

Sharon Maughan. You're getting your worms the wrong way round as Ronnie Barker would say. lol

right - I got things wrong - Trevor Eve is married to Cherie Mughan and Cherie Lunghi did the Kenco ad!!! think that's right - but then again, it could be totally wrong - if it is, Sally will come on and correct it - won't you Sally!!!!

I wonder why, with a surname like Healy, his parents called him Austin? He sounds like a small old car. Or is Austin a nickname from his rugby days?

I wish they'd give Anton a decent partner. From what I saw Gillian Taylforth say he hasn't much chance yet again!

nudging incase evening folks haven't seen line up yet.

The extracts above about each of the stars is taken from the BBC Strictly Come Dancing website.

Tom Chambers
Tom Chambers sets millions of hearts aflutter on a weekly basis with his portrayal of registrar lady-killer Sam Strachan in BBC One's Holby City. His heartthrob status is only likely to increase once female Strictly viewers get to see him in his sequins!

Tom is a huge fan of dancing, and one of his ambitions is to make and appear in a Singing in the Rain-esque British movie. He thinks there's no better way to prepare for such a goal than to compete on Strictly.

Rachel Stevens
As a UK pop star, Rachel formed an integral seventh of successful pop group S Club 7. During their tenure, the pop act racked up 11 Top 40 hits, including chart toppers Reach, Don't Stop Movin' and Have You Ever.

The band called it a day in 2002, and Rachel branched out as a solo singer a year later, scoring several Top 10 hits, before hanging up her sparkly gloves in 2005. Rachel can also count being an FHM magazine favourite and the first woman to appear in a campaign to raise awareness of testicular cancer among her achievements.

Phil Daniels
Some know Phil Daniels best as Jimmy in the cult film Quadrophenia, the Britpop generation knows him as the voice on Blur's Parklife, and a new breed of EastEnders fans know him simply as Kevin Wicks.

Phil isn't just a multi-talented actor, it turns out he's a sporting all-rounder too. This year he even did the London Marathon. On a slightly more bizarre note, Phil is a trained knife-thrower, and once practised his skills on Jonathan Ross!

Morning Ann,
didn't know she was married to Trevor Eve, used to watch Shoestring.
