Seriously can't wait for Strictly to start, thinking Frankie will be really good, can't wait to see who else is in the line up, hoping for Simon Baker, but i think i can safely say there is zero chance ;) Pretty gutted about Artem and James not being there anymore, and poor Robin

[xGlowingAngelx]

Neither can I Lesley. I'm so ready for it this year. Will miss Artem, Robin and James too, but I'm looking forward to seeing the new pros.

Next confirmed Celebrity has been revealed:

Can't wait for Strictly to start again. So far though i'm not overwhelmed with excitement about the 4 celebs that have been confirmed so i'm hoping it gets better. I am looking forward to seeing Tristan MacManus on the UK series as i've enjoyed watching him on the US show. Gonna miss James & Robin this year

These 2 have also been confirmed now.....

Alison Hammond (tv presenter)

Thom Evans (former rugby player)

[Lesley Bee]

Looking forward to seing the new pros too! Have to say i'm not all that excited about the celeb line up so far, here's hoping there are some gems left

[xGlowingAngelx]

Thom and Alison have been added

Can't say the line up is absolutely thrilling me either, but I've said that before and ended up loving those series, so hopefully this will be no exception.

[~Zoe~]

I dont normally watch Srictly (I'm an X Factor viewer) but I am going to watch both this year as Frankie is on it. Big fan of her & The Saturdays

[irish_angel]

Simon Webbe (singer from Blue) is now also confirmed

Still not jumping up & down with excitement over the lineup but i would be watching no matter how dire the lineup was. Gonna miss Brucie on the show this year & i'm not a fan of Claudia so don't know how i'll handle her every Saturday night now too

[xGlowingAngelx]

I'm fairly happy with the line up so far. It's quite a varied mix. (I know there's 2 popstars, but they're from such different eras. I know Blue reunited, but I still think Simon's biggest draw will be the late teens/early 20's that were huge fans back when they were first together. I wasn't a fan myself, but ALL the girls I grew up with were HUGE Blue fans). I'm expecting at least one soap star revealed soon. The only real disappointment so far (for me personally) is Alison. Still it all means nothing right now, because we don't know what they'll be like when the show starts.

I've never put much hope on the line ups though. Strictly's Strictly to me. It could be full of Z-listers and I'd still watch. I tend to find some of the most unknown names become some of the most loved contestants (Chelsee Healey rings a bell in that respect.).

I just can't wait for the rest of line up now. I just want it to start already. Haha. <3

I'm the same, i want it on already Or i wish they would just announce a start date, with XFactor starting in just over a week i expect Strictly will be back in 3 or 4 weeks i would think.
