David James looks younger, trendier and fitter than a bloke of his age has a right to.

It’s a sad sign of age overtaking as you recognise fewer and fewer “celebs” each year.

Only four this year. Football bloke, Breakfast TV bloke, Cracknell and Rice.

Oti should still be ok, there's another chap being brought in.

I have a knack of calling it after the initial show, (Doooley prediction last year on night 1).
Tough this year...…...possibly Chris Ramsey, although K Clifton being hated by the public wont help him! Also the CBBC guy teamed up with Amy. Yes, I will go with him and Amy.
Females dance wise seem distinctly average, that Social media irl with AJ was a proper clunker! The lady off Corrie seemed best of them.
The posh girl is wooden as a Trojan Horse!

My 11 year old daughter recognised the youtuber. That's the age they aiming for.

I only recognised Crackers and Rice, although I do remember the guy falling in the pool though, just didn't realise it was him.

Mike the sports guy looked amusingly st, as did Social media 'star'.

Nadiya looked awesome, cracking legs. Dianne is still my favourite but I'm also happy watching Luba, or Oti. Hope they replace Jamie as I love watching Oti.

Alex and Neil or Karim and Amy to win. Amy is lovely too.

Nice to see Anneka back too, bringing back to my childhood.

Ironically this might be off topic, but...what was the blue car Anton was driving in the introductory bit? I only caught a glimpse.

Thought it was just me....

In other news, have they all been in the spray booth or what...?

It’s not a rumour.

Seriously hope David James can dance, seriously hope Mike Bushell is out first round. Not getting the love for ‘Crackers’, wooden as a fence post and hopefully not in it too long. Managed to guess four of the pairings which is pretty good for me, what isn’t so good is I only know four of the celebs, or five now the bloke from Emmerdale’s in it.

One of the pairings was always going to be quite likely - the wonderful Nadiya is much taller than most of the other girls so it would look fairly silly if she had been paired up with a shortie.

Disaster Darling - just as it was about to start, I paused my Humax Box Until my wife was ready to watch. It just froze, would not receive a satellite signal and could not restart by removing plug etc. By 20-mins in I had done a factory reset and new initial set up.

However I feel that so many of the elements that made the early years so good are now missing. Anton du Beck was a shoe-in for when Bruce left, but now he, Tess, Bruno and Craig are all that are left of the original team. IMHO non of the replacements have anything like the same levels of personality / charisma of the folk that they replaced.

And as for the D-class celebs who want to become C-class, what can you say?

I missed it last night and am watching it tonight.

Totally shocked that Anneka was paired with Kevin rather than Anton. I figured it was pretty much a given.

Does this mean that Anton has half a chance of progressing far this year, or does it mean Kevin has been handed a punishment?

(No disrespect intended towards Anneka)
