Craig's brother and other relatives - Strictly Come Dancing

Viennese Whirl · 29-10-2009, 18:09

Craig's brother was shown visiting Craig and Flavia in their training VT last week. He was a good laugh and looked, from his messing about in the training room, as though he was probably a better dancer than Craig!

I've since found out (from this forum) that the brother is also an actor. (I'd never heard of him, but then I'd never heard of Craig either before this series of SCD). The Beeb has surely missed a trick there - we could have had the two brothers on Strictly, competing against each other. A bit naff I know, but we've had husband/wife competitors, so why not brothers?

What other celeb pairings could there be on Strictly? There must be other famous couples/siblings etc who could do it. When I say "famous" I mean that in the Strictly context, obviously, so minor D-list celebs will do. We're not talking Posh and Becks - though that would be interesting...

Jake2008 · 29-10-2009, 18:12

How about a proper Hollywood A list celebrity, Gary Oldham and his sister, Laila Morse out of Eastenders.

Ooh excellent choice. I bet Lemberk would be up for it too.

Keith & Lilly Allen ... the girl from La Roux and her mum (who's from the Bill) ... Nadia & Julia Swalah, with Dexter Fletcher, just for fun! ... they should totally have had RickyG's father in law Denis Waterman this year, that would have been hillarious ...

... but I think I'm with JJ ... the Cheeky Girls would have been hillarious, and they could have had Cheeky ex Lembit along for the ride as well!

I thought they already did! But apparently it's Ricky Groves. That woman has married her father...

... actually, I could see them doing that for comic relief!

tenchgirl · 29-10-2009, 21:55

I reckon we should have strictly for children in need and use comedians as the "celeb", family related comics or double acts. Not just for one night for a whole series

we could have
Dawn & lenny
Ade & Jennifer
kate & ted robbins
cannon & ball
The Krankies

It would be a good laugh and you never know some of them might be able to dance lol

How about Liam and Noel Gallagher? Give them to Erin and Ola, that could be interesting.

21stCenturyBoy · 29-10-2009, 23:10

Dean Lennox Kelly did seem interested. Maybe he could dance with Flavia next year?

I still think Nathalie Lunghi should have took part last year and gone up against her mum. (In case you don't know her, Nathalie is a TV and Film Actress, she was in The Palace and Layer Cake)

I read an article on the DS Forum from Dean saying he admired his brother for doing it as its something he would never be able to do

So I think that rules that one out

Yes, I'm sure that he appeared in the two series of The Worst Week Of My Life

Slater · 30-10-2009, 14:46

I would love to see Ant & Dec on it, but doubt it would ever happen

Not quite royal siblings but apparently they have asked Zara Philips and Mike Tindall.
