Strictly Come Dancing

First male contestant verified for Strictly, Thom Evans rugby player sorry to say I have never heard of him.

Andy Murray's mum and some rugby player.....do I hear the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped?

[Mamyalynne]

Nor me , but hardly surprising as I don't follow Rugby.

[Caribeing]

Yes and some girl from pop group The Saturdays and large lady who does a presenting stint on This Morning!

[ethandron]

I think that most years woofy, then once it gets going it doesn't seem to matter who's in it, I just enjoy the programme.
I'm looking forward to claudia doing more presenting this year, I know not everyone likes her but I really like her sense of humour and wackiness, even her odd dress sense.

[woofgang]

I like Claudia too, hope the show isn't going down the pan though.

[queenofmean]

I've heard of him. Allison Hammond and Frankie Bridge of The Saturdays are also contestants so far

[ethandron]

Did frankie bridge used to be called frankie sandford? Or is that someone else entirely? Not very well up on celebs..

[Caribeing]

Agree with ethandron once it gets going it is enjoyable just seems weird calling some people celebrities!

[Mags22]

You've got it right,colin&jess, brother Max also plays for Scotland

[jennyjoan]

Love Alison Hammond - full of fun!

I think Thom Evans was a recent squeeze of Kelly Brook, he's quite hunky. Love Strictly, glad it's coming back even though it means the year's flying by again !
