    Chef and TV presenter Simon Rimmer. I've heard of this guy before.

    Only people I've heard of are Ruth, gemma and Simon.
    I did Google the communards video and blink and you miss the vicar :)

    Only one I've ever heard of so far is the vicar! And that's only because I saw him on Celebrity Pointless once or twice:D

    It'll be a steep learning curve for me - again.

    Anyone know when the first show is? (I did go back through the thread but either missed it or can't find it)

    You've not heard of Ruth Langsford?!?!? :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I'd be quite surprised if none of this year's contestants had any connections whatsoever to BBC Breakfast. ;) Indeed, I'm quite surprised that Dan Walker hasn't been a contestant yet...

    When I first saw the name (before the picture) I thought it was Bonnie Langford! :D

    My limited TV viewing has never extended to Loose Women I'm afraid......

    I think they have the launch show (announce the pairs) around mid September and the live shows start beginning of October.

    I think I read it was the 4th of Sept as I was annoyed I will be away then

    Aston and the girl the Saturdays to be installed as the "bookies favourites" before the show even starts.
    Ruth to be paired with Anton unless they get someone older.
    Richard Coles to be the "novelty act".
    Anyone would swear we've watched this before...

    I know the Rev from panel shows, decent addition. And of course Gemma who is a serious fox and will be hard to beat in terms of this year's eye candy.


    Edit: Didn't see page 2. I've heard of Aston and that chef dude.

    And this is what Susan herself has to say about it... :D

    https://twitter.com/SusanCalman/status/897435334224617472

    So it's likely that she'll be a novelty contestant too... but she'll be great nonetheless. :D;)

    She's still taller than Claudia Fragapane - who, lest we forget, nearly made the final. ;)

    Warwick Davis will probably never be a contestant though. Shame, really...

    A.J and Claudia were a fabulous couple and I was rooting for them to get to the final-their Argentine Tango was my favourite Strictly AT ever.

    Susan Calman is very funny: she'll be a good personality. But she is tiny.

    Its looking like a good line up so far . Will keep an open mind about Ruth but just might have to blank her out by week two !!

    Have googled and looked online and I think the launch is either Monday the 4th or Tuesday the 5th . Either way I will miss it but will log in to see how what you all think of it .

    Maybe they are announcing the next one on the one show tonight. So odd.

    Why so slow to post on here. Nothing announced on the one show anyway. Picture of Len in the background though.
