This just came up on my instagram feed - hopefully producers give out some new lines soon!

Chelsee Healey was told to say ‘I’m single and ready to mingle’ on the launch show for her series, and she didn’t argue because she was young and a bit out of her depth, but she regretted it and felt really daft, apparently.

God knows why I was watching it, but I thought Aljaž did well coming second on The Weakest Link yesterday, considering how woefully a few of his monolingual native English speaking peers have done.

I was fuming at how far Jeff got into the show. He was awful and genuinely looked like he didn't want to be there.

Oh please not Tom Allen. He’s so annoying. I’d find it hard to watch 😩
I actually can’t stand him. His obnoxious grating voice plus the annoyances of Vito and Dianne would leave me having to lie in a darkened room for the rest of the week.

Tom Allen can be amusing but its usually inuendo at someone's expense. He seems to have moved into presenting going from one show to another in the last few years. I am not sure that we need this sort of presenter in what is a family show with quite a few dancers who may not fully understand some of his jibes because of a language barrier. I am afraid that he could really bamboozle Vito for starters. Much as Vito's rambling explanations and thoughts on 'love and life' annoy me, I would not like to see him humiliated by Tom Allen. I do not know if the names mentioned above having auditions are correct. But of them La Voix as Chris would be someone I would like if he is ready to make the transition Paul O'Grady did to himself. Emma Alex or Rylan too I like.

I’m not sure why it has taken all these months to finally audition the same people who have mostly been mentioned since the day Tess and Claudia quit.
I can only see it being two from Zoe/Emma/Rylan. Maybe La Voix as the wildcard for Claudia’s role. Hopefully the decision will be announced next week.
Also, I think this means Gorka is definitely staying, the announcements have moved on from departing pros.

I'm guessing they wanted to leave enough space from the last series finishing to make it feel less cold. Not to mention trying to find a date where everyone is available.

If it's not a combo of Zoe,Emma,Alex,Angela or Rylan I won't be watching.

I think La Voix during the show showed they had the quick wit that works well in the Claudia role.
I'm a Zoe/Emma for Tess's job then Rylan/La Voix for Claudia's

I like Tom Allen but i'm not sure he's right for SCD.

The majority of those are a big no thanks from me ☹ the last 3 are particularly horrendous, totally unsuitable
Zoe, Emma, Rylan are ok
