Well I suppose we'd better kick one of these off as the contestants are starting to be announced on a drip feed. It looks like Frankie Stafford is in.

Add Scott Mills and Judy Murray to the list.

Met Sunetra Sarker in a pub in Bristol really. Seemed like a nice lady, so I'll be supporting Frankie Sandford...

[Nom de ploom]

someone said max branning from 'stenders was in?

[marcosgt]

Who cares?

With the Winkelwitch front and centre, I'll be watching ANYTHING else.

Well Pixie Lott has just been added to the line-up and she has one of best pairs of legs of any celebrity, so that'll be nice to watch:

[BossHogg]

With Frankie and Pixie in, I think I might be tempted to watch this year.

[RemaL]

still not enough to get me to watch

[NBTBRV8]

Well, we know what we are in for now.

Scott Mills should be a giggle but Tim Wonnacott is clearly this year's Wooden Spoon act.

I pity the professional dancer who gets lumbered with Tim - he always comes across on Bargain Hunt as... um, how can I put this... someone who could be slightly over-familiar if you were female and stood next to him.

Michael Hogan at the Telegraph is somewhat scathing about this year's lineup, asking if it is the worst ever.

i'd be inclined to agree.

without reading the article this looks like the worst line up since inception tbh....

is there one more celeb to be announced?

[9.3]

WTF???? I thought Bruce Forsyth had retired from the show? He just can't stop wanting to hog the limelight.

I wish he'd just bu99er off. So full of himself.

[chibbard]

Haha, literally just said this to the missus. Why don't Forsyth just crawl under a stone and never come out again. I cannot stand that bloke....

[JonRB]

I can't really stand him either, but for me it was rather a welcome handover. Not over did it provide continuity and transition for those that like him, but it reminded the rest of us how excruciating he is these days.

[Shaw Tarse]

Who's got Hammond?

[9.3]

Can't we just have an hour of Abby dancing every Saturday evening?

[JonRB]

And the Kiss of Death goes to...

... Natalie.

[Shaw Tarse]

Ooh the look of terror as Alison's partner was announced!
