So we’ve got 7 men and 7 women so far, but 8 male dancers are required so does that mean there will be a male contestant announced tonight do we think?

I don’t think it’s necessarily a guest of the show - unless it’s David Williams or Peter Crouch and we appear to have numerous tall men already.Supposed to be on Mo Gilligans show at 10 tonight C4
If this is correct, it will be probably be Ugo Monye as rumoured:So we’ve got 7 men and 7 women so far, but 8 male dancers are required so does that mean there will be a male contestant announced tonight do we think?
Ah that makes sense! Did see his name on the rumoured list a few times.If this is correct, it will be probably be Ugo Monye as rumoured:
All 15 celebs are English this year. Really quite poor UK diversity from the BBC.If it is him that’s no Irish, Welsh or Scottish celebrities (unless I’m mistaken)
That sounds promising then!She is really funny and think she will be good on Strictly, don't know about the dancing but doesn't take herself too seriously.
Quite....and then they act surprised that people in the other nations are pissed off and once again reiterates that "Britain" really just equals "England" Even if they need to be London based to make it work, there are plenty people they could have chosen.All 15 celebs are English this year. Really quite poor UK diversity from the BBC.
It's not the quality of the names that annoys me (some quite good ones and I recognised most) but the balance is totally wrong this time.
Think his name was a leak, like Tilly, more than a rumour. So I reckon it's him.If this is correct, it will be probably be Ugo Monye as rumoured:
Also Scottish, absolutely despised JJ last year so it's not about "I need a Scottish person to cheer on" but it's incredibly lazy to not even try and have a mixed bag of celebrities from all over the country.I’m Scottish and don’t get this need for someone from each nation. It’s not that deep. Picking from each nation isn’t diversity IMO.
Not going to get into a political debate, but I equally don’t need someone to be Scottish for me to root for them.
Unsure about strictly, but it was common knowledge within TV circles that Cowell hated putting through Scots/Irish/Welsh to the live shows on X factor as they were almost guaranteed a spot in the final due to televote. Harder for him to rigAlso Scottish, absolutely despised JJ last year so it's not about "I need a Scottish person to cheer on" but it's incredibly lazy to not even try and have a mixed bag of celebrities from all over the country.
Totally agreed and I think with the BBC's push for more diversity, they look a bit silly not having regional diversity in a cast of 15 but that's all I'll say on that one to avoid going off-topic.Also Scottish, absolutely despised JJ last year so it's not about "I need a Scottish person to cheer on" but it's incredibly lazy to not even try and have a mixed bag of celebrities from all over the country.
