Strictly Come Dancing series 8 rehearsals start this week!

How time flies! The new series of Strictly Come Dancing is fast approaching and rehearsals are due to start this week.

We think we already know some stars that are heading for the Strictly 2010 line-up so let’s have a look at who they are:

Tina O’Brien – star of Coronation Street

Felicity Kendall – Actress famous for The Good Life

Gary and Danielle Lineker – Football legend, BBC Stalwart and his model wife

Gavin Henson – Welsh rugby player and Charlotte Church’s (ex) husband

Ann Widdecombe – Conservative MP

Patsy Kensit – Actress

Frank Bruno – Former Boxer

An interesting bunch so far but I’m still hoping for some big names this year and let’s hope that they don’t get knocked out in the first round – we miss you Martina!

  • Jennifer

    Is there any chance that Arlene will be back this year do you think?

  • Lesley

    She certainly should be. There is no doubt that last year’s show suffered because she wasn’t on the judging panel. Arlene has a wealth of dance experience behind her and it was a ludicrous decision to replace her with a singer, all in a vain attempt to woo younger viewers away from the X Factor. Let’s face it, the young people who watch the X Factor aren’t going to watch Strictly, which appeals much more to the more discerning and slightly older audience!

  • Michael

    Any news on when the forums re-start?

  • Left Feet

    Stick in the mud old farts you mean, actually Alehsa provided a fresh voice that the panel needed. Did I agree with all she said nope but I admired her resolve to stick it out. She has given a lot to the show and deserved praise for that.

  • Piddles

    Is it true some of our favourites will not be back, Matthew Lilia – what is BBC up to? Bring them all back especially Arlene, I always looked forward to her comments she was truly the star.

  • Cougar

    Well I read on Wikipedia who all the celebs were and put it on my facebook page, the next day they had all been taken off wikipedia which I found a bit strange but after finding out for sure who the celebs are on here they were correct so far but the one I am very keen on finding out if they are on is Gok Wan would be well pleased if that one was true!!

  • Blonde1

    Alehsa was no good on the show, all she seemed to say was I know what they are going through all the time and didnt judge properly! Bring back Arlene – she was a proper judge who knew what she was talking about unlike Alshsa.

  • w.j.m

    the new paper the sun yestday the saturday the 21st of august 2010 said that Carley Stenson from hollyoaks and Charlie Clements who played bradley braning and rob kazinsky who played sean slater and tiana benjamin who played chellease fox in eastenders and michelle williams the singer from destinerys child

  • Hebidi

    I would love Arlene to return to Strictly. She has been greatly missed.
