    The are announcing on who is replacing Curtis on the Cant Stop Dancing preview show tonight on RTE One as well as the other pairings. I saw that Trent Whiddon posted about going back to work and that Kai recently followed him, I dont know if he is working on the show as a choreographer like he did with Strictly or if he is replacing Curtis, he would work height wise

    Trent Whiddon is the replacement. He was on Strictly a few years ago with Pixie Lott.
    Good replacement!!

    I was kinda hoping AJ (Curtis’s brother) might step in. I’ve always looked forward to seeing him on SCD. Height differences would have been an issue. Also, I’m sure he has other work commitments.

    AJ is doing the Strictly tour so would be unavailable the weeks Curtis is out.
    I didn't watch Strictly the year Pixie Lott was in it so looking forward to seeing the new pro.

    €3k a week for the pro-dancers, celebs or both?

    3k for the celebs each. And that was 2 years ago...probably gone up since!

    There doesn't seem to be any real crap person like Des or Marty this year.

    Maybe Winnie McGoohan..at 67 some of the higher tempo stuff might be tough on her.

    Initially it looked like he might be this year's Bernard O'Shea but it seems he's actually able to move. Might be a bit of a surprise.
    Hopefully so 'cos Bernard got a bit tiresome last year trying to substitute comedy for his complete crapness at dancing.

    Any early predictions this year? I'm thinking maybe Johnny Ward and Emily Barker should be in with a shout given his previous dance experience. Maybe Peter Stringer and Ksenia also?

    I think Niamh from Fair City won't be great mainly because of how she used walk around in Fair City.
    I'm not sure about the rest of them. I'd say Johnny Ward will be handy enough but from the times I've seen him on TV he wasn't overly likable.

    Think I remember seeing Niamh on the LLS Dance thingy-Dermot from Room to Improve was also performing.

    I think it was 'Hey Big Spender' and it was excruciating. Hopefully she won't overact as much on DWTS.
    Edit: nope, I remembered wrong! It was 'These Boots Are Made For Walking', but it was definitely excruiating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8xq2tcQ71U

    Would like the above 3 mentioned to be in the final.

    Denis has a very popular partner-never underestimate the GAA vote

    I’d say Cliona & Holly will be good. The men seem to have a better chance in these dancing competitions

    He played for Dublin though. Can't see anyone outside Dublin voting for him because of GAA.

    Is there a big delay between the voice and the audio for anyone else?

    Watching here. Not usually Jen’s biggest fan in the world, but I must say, she is light years more apt for this role than Amanda Byram with the Christmas cracker jokes, and she looked really well in the opening dance routine, blended in with all the dancers quite seamlessly.

    The only thing I ever saw him in was Tommy Tiernan’s show, where he used to introduce the “mystery” guests as they walked onto the set.
