Strictly Posh Dancing?
So a new series of Strictly Come Dancing is fast approaching and talk turns to who could be taking part this year. Last year’s show was a bit of a letdown for some in terms of the celebrities selected and the BBC want to make amends this year.
According to The Sun Strictly are lining up a number of high profile celebrities for this year’s competition, top targets include Victoria Beckham, Amy Winehouse, Chelsea Clinton (ex-US president Bill’s daughter) and [controversially if Chelsea signs up too] Monica Lewinsky [Bill’s former ‘secretary with benefits’].
Other targets are said to include Kimberley Walsh (Girls Aloud) and Patsy Kensit (Lethal Weapon 2 and currently Holby City).
It’s not all glitz and glamour though as they’re also purportedly considering former Cheeky Girl fancier, oh and ex-Lib Dem MP, Lembit Opik!
There are also going to be more planned recordings from Blackpool Tower (though not a complete move – something Ian Waite agrees isn’t feasible in an interview with Digital Spy).
Talk is also abound of changes in the professional lineup, with the new producer having flown out to the States to audition potential new pro’s…why they couldn’t start with more homegrown talent is beyond me (hint BBC if you’re listening…give me a call!!!)
Alesha Dixon is currently continuing as a judge (though no offense Alesha but I hope they drop you for someone with even a little bit more knowledge). Surely a departing female professional could’ve been a viable option.
Regardless of the changes, or non-, i’ll still be avidly watching and giving my own views on the performances.
Who knows, one day I might even be on the show – even if it’s in the dark recesses of the public audience!
How would you change this year’s Strictly, and who would you like to see on the show?
Victoria Beckham? Are you kidding? They would actually break her!!
I hope they don’t have all those named in para 2 as the show would become all about them and not the dancing!
