But he is going to be paired with a male dancer

I've never encountered him on radio or TV. But he is going to be paired with a male dancer He's on BBC radio and regularly reports on The One Show. I am unaware if he is the gay celebrity this year. I mean he is gay, but whether he is the gay celebrity to be paired with a male partner remains to be seen, thus my previous comments of thinking there'd be a female this year.

All-male dance partnership.
That answers that question then.
Is it just me, but does anyone else think that some of the comments posted are just hysterical!

Zero interest in Kaye Adams. She always seems to have a negative air about her.

I reckon we'll get a journalist or weather presenter so perhaps Laura Tobin from GMB?

Traditionally amongst the celebrities there is always the following; a comedian, a celebrity with a disability, an older 'more mature' celebrity, a sporting celebrity- now doubt they'll try and get one of the Lioness' or someone from the Commonwealth Games- and most recently a gay celebrity.
Have I forgotten any?
For me, Kay Adams, falls into the more mature category and Ritchie Anderson into the gay category.
I'd love to see what comedian is up for it this year.

An "influencer" or YouTuber with a zillion followers.

Zoe Lyons would be good for the comedian slot or if they want to go more left of field, perhaps Ed Gamble. Anyone who's got touring commitments or other shows likely won't be chosen.

Zero interest in Kaye Adams. She always seems to have a negative air about her. “Dour” sums her up.

Last night he's had his hair cut and was wearing sneakers.
He's like the Jamie Cullen of meteorologists!

Apparently someone called Tesco Mary! I've no idea who that is either. Is it a name or an occupation?

She's called Mary Byrne, but haven't found a record of her doing strictly this year. Like all 4 announced so far and I have heard of all of them so a start. Seen Kaye Adams when i went to Loose Women once and she will take it seriously. Very Professional.

There's a spoof Twitter account @bbcstructly that is doing a whole series of fake announcements.
Mary was one of them

It’s a good job it doesn’t have the word celebrity or ‘Stars’ in its name isn’t it?
