Our resident dancer casts his eye and ranks this
years hopefuls for the coveted ‘Glitterball Trophy’.
HOT
Pixie Lott
A dance background is always an advantage on
Strictly and I just hope the public doesn’t use this against her. Pixie I
predict will be quick to adapt herself to the world of Ballroom and will be the
front-runner very early on. I’m certain people will fall for her charms and
cute girly looks.
Frankie Bridge
Frankie has shown in the past she has all the
moves and I can see her possessing a natural sense of rhythm and musicality. If
she can bring with her all her many fans then she will undoubtedly be a
contender for the crown.
Thom Evans
I’m excited by Thom’s addition to the show. A talented
and promising rugby player who’s career was sadly cut way too short due to
injuries. I think Thom will relish in the opportunity and could really take to
this. I’d bet my money on him becoming Strictly’s top boy.
Steve Backshall
This man has conquered Mount Asgard, ran 240+ km
across the Sahara Dessert, is a winner of both the Extreme and Last Man
Standing events at UK Tough Guy and is a black belt in judo. Steve is an
extreme specialist and a real life Action Man. I think he’ll have no problem
putting in the hours and I’m sure he will tackle whatever he’s given.
Simon Webbe
Scored straight nines for a total of 36 for his
Cha Cha Cha in the 2011 Christmas Special. Having experienced Strictly and
knowing just what it takes to be on the show, Simon is probably the best placed
in the line up. He’ll be ready prepared and I think he’ll have a real coolness
about him.
Mark Wright
Mark’s strength will be his strongest factor and
very well could see him right, especially where it’ll be needed, in the lifts. He’ll
use what he has and will play to it. Admittedly it could also be to his
disadvantage – finesse not power is what’s needed in the ballroom dances. I’m
pretty sure his focus will be on loosening up and finding his rhythm.
Alison Hammond
I think Alison will be a bubbly character and
will be a bit of a show girl. She’ll really embrace the experience and people
at home may very well take her to their hearts.
COLD
Scott Mills
Plenty of popularity, full of personality, Scott
will be a colourful addition to the show. I feel he might struggle at times but
he’ll just go for it and really get in to it all. He certainly won’t be short
of votes and if he can translate himself into the routines then he’ll be around
for some weeks.
Caroline Flack
Winner of Dancing on Wheels in 2009 with partner
James O’Shea and finishing 16th overall in their category at the Wheelchair
Dancing European Championships in Tel Aviv that same year. I can see Caroline
becoming the shows party girl, but I feel she’ll put so much into her
performances that her technical aspect might suffer.
Jake Wood
I don’t think Jake will be anything like his
Albert Square alter ego Max. Being an actor, mostly a villain, I think he might
actually do rather well. For sure he’ll certainly have no trouble getting into
all the different characters of dance. I see Jake being a Ballroom boy and can
imagine him having some nice lines and crisp detailing. But I can also see the
Latin numbers getting the better of him.
Sunetra Sarker
Being an actress Sunetra should be able to apply
herself to the character of her given dance. She’ll give it a really good go,
but hard to say how far she’ll actually go at this stage.
Jennifer Gibney
As a child Jennifer wanted to dance with Pan’s
People, well her time has come and albeit, she’s dancing on Strictly!!!
Jennifer I believe will just love being a part of Strictly and everything about
it; she’ll be living the typical fan’s dream!
Gregg Wallace
I have to admit, I’m a big fan of Gregg and I’d
like him to do really well, but sadly I don’t see him progressing far. I think
he’ll be capable of one good dance, he’ll go out, and do the steps he’s asked
to do and as Len would say “give it some welly”!
Judy Murray
Being a tennis coach, Judy will have no problem
following the direction of her partner. I can imagine Judy having some elegance
and grace about her but feel she’ll find it all a bit much in the Latin numbers
to bring out that raunchy, sexy, sassy side.
CHANCE TO SURPRISE
Tim Wonnacott
Tim is a skilled tap dancer. He has a hint of eccentricity about him and is a genuinely funny and
charming man. So if there is to be a surprise on this season of Strictly, I can
see it being Tim. I think the viewers at home will instantly like him and pick
up the phone. GO ON TIM!!!
Who's your tip to lift the Strictly glitterball?
