I am clearly the only person who doesn’t fancy Nigel. I’m completely baffled by the pheromones throbbing off this thread. Bang average middle aged man. And I say that as a less than bang average middle aged woman.
However, it’s absolutely fine because the last reveal has to be a hottie. And I don’t mean Les Dennis.
You're not alone...I'm really not seeing the attraction!

he seemed like a lovely guy: the height difference between him and amy was unfair to them both though! he should have been with nadiya really.
Ah poor bloke. He really was just there to dance to the Eastenders feem in BBC week wasn’t he? They couldn’t have made it more obvious and he was dropped like a ton of bricks just the week after dressed as a haunted bee keeper.

Can tell you will need convincing.

It is not solely the attraction in looks, it is the overall personality you must appreciate. He will be a very articulate guest on ITT, ohh wait will Janette be interviewing him! 😦

Annabel Croft was a pretty tit tennis player wasn‘t she? Like Andrew Castle levels of tit, but we had so few decent players in those days that having anyone to root for would do.

Cannot see Les being a celeb if he is in a running theatre production. Saturday nights are the main night to draw the audience if they have gone to see him.

Two commitments at his age??😲

Yes but she was good on treasure hunt

I think she won Young Wimbledon and another of the youth grand slams and was ranked quite high at one point - top 20 or 30 but she seemed to dacker off and she retired really very young.

Poor James, he tried so hard, and seemed like an absolutely lovely guy, but dancing was not really his forte.
I think he was quite glad to leave.
I really liked him, he really obviously felt it was his time to go too, you could see he was knackered.

I want Nadiya to have a proper contender this year, either a ringer or a Stacey/Rose male equivalent. She's had some bad luck with partners but always been professional and done her best to give them a good experience (unlike Gio). I don't think she's ever made a final has she?

Angela Scanlon seems like she could have the qualities of a female winner- girl next door vibe, good but not too good etc. So I don't want her within a million feet of Gio. He's due a duffer imo, a real duffer, not someone like Richie who could have been ok with a decent partner

Mind you, to be fair to Les Dennis, he does have a good line in self-deprecation.

He was a guest on one of the Richard Herring podcasts a few years back and he was actually pretty funny and totally self-aware, taking the piss out of himself all the way through.

I don't think I'd really mind an old-school celeb compared to yet another obscure DJ or reality influencer, etc.

Yeah, I've mentioned it already, but I get the same vibe and will fume if she gets Gio.

I wonder what Jason would do if he was told he was only allowed one Dead Relative Dance this year? Explode?
Try to sneak a couple in under the radar for Halloween or Musical Week?
And he's got a dance for Len to do as well. Although that might be Anton faffing about for half an hour.

Some people on DS seem to actively want Dianne with Nigel because they want her to have another chance with someone 'older with potential' after Robert pulled out.

Robert & Nigel are nothing alike so I don't get the comparison and I don't think they realise what a bad match he & Dianne would be. She needs someone who can match her more goofy energy, to me it looks like Adam Thomas for her.
I honestly think they could pair Diane with Layton and they still wouldn’t make the final.

I don’t think it’ll happen in a million years but I think she should be benched this year and give Luba, Lauren or Michelle a go

I wonder when the next celeb is going to be announced?? Tomorrow I'm guessing?

It's some build up if there is only 1 left to announce!

I have 😢 sod Trish, I’m devastated! I love that clip, from the minute Curtis folds his arms to AJ’s last menacing word…

It’s cruel he’s depriving us of future gripping scenes, cruel
Don't worry Len, you can still catch him in panto.

It's really weird to me that he and Curtis even do panto together. There's room enough in the illustrious casts of Britain's small towns for both of them to play Prince Charming, surely?

Will our fav pro Neil get a celeb this year? 🤭

It’s because they have such a large fanbase, they thought it fairer on all their fans to only have to fork out for one ticket 😬
