Don’t forget to turn your dial to BBC1 on Friday 14 March at 7pm, where you will see some old favourites as well as some new people who hope to impress us with their nifty footwork. The dancers are as follows:-
From past series:-
• Darren Gough
• Denise Lewis
• Roger Black
• Mark Ramprakash
• Matt Dawson
New faces:-
• Kara Tointon
• Gemma Bissix
• Elaine Paige
• Jade Johnson
• David Ginola
My money is on Darren Gough to win (again!), but secretly I am going to hope for Denise Lewis,(Runner Up Series 2) who I think was an absolutely brilliant dancer and I think it is fair to say that if she had not been up against the mighty Jill Halfpenny – she could have raised that disco ball! Still, what do I know!
Did you know, Strictly Come Dancing was originally meant to be a “one-off” for Sport Relief. Lucky for us dance people, the BBC know a good thing when they see it, and the magic that started with Brendan Cole and Natasha Kaplinsky blossomed into our favourite show!
