Hope she’s not in it. Not sure I want to watch her “doing Hannah Waddingham” every week.

Isn’t she in the next Mission Impossible? I can’t see the production team on that wanting the association either?

Hanging down by her big toe on a wire in a black catsuit and full makey punching in a combination to stop a nuclear bomb going off? After which she leaps to safety and does a pirouette before disappearing into the night leaving Tom Cruise speechless? Seems feasible.

Comedian Chris McCausland confirmed to be taking part this year. He is fully blind, isn’t he? Not just partially. |

I don't think Chris McCausland being blind will be an issue because there are people who are blind who compete in professional competition, the professional just have to adapt.

Gill won Christmas Strictly in 2012
And I seem to recall JLS being a fairly physical boy band, so he isn't starting from scratch. But neither is he an obvious ringer

I still can't over JB saying 'Merry Christmas' when JLS did Last Christmas on The X Factor. He's still ribbed about it!

Wynne Evans could be a nifty mover
He certainly has performance skills

He certainly covers the Welsh contingency.
In my experience, people on the 'heftier' side tend to be extremely light of their feet.
My closest friend is a 'big boy'- his words, not mine, as is my Uncle.
Yet get them on the dance floor and each are a light as a feather!
I think he'll do just fine!

Apparently there is another version of the full cast list out there:
In addition to the 5 confirmed, we are getting
Sarah Hadland
Nick Knowles
Paul Merson
Jamie Borthwick
Pete Wickes
Tasha Ghouri
Sam Quek
Shayne Ward
Montell Douglas AKA Fire
Tom Dean
That feels more credible than the previous version
Two of that group are complete unknowns to me but I don't watch Love Island or Gladiators.
So I have some knowledge of 11 out of 14 names which is not too bad (and better than the forthcoming Celeb Masterchef)

Getting a Gladiator for Strictly makes a lot of sense although I'd gone for Matt Morsia aka Legend given he's known outside of Gladiators due to his YouTube channel.

Heavily tattooed.

Not seeing any obvious same sex couples there. Unless my googling has not been thorough enough!
