Chatting about Eddie Kadi and the lineup for Strictly Come Dancing 2023
Discussion on the announcement of Eddie Kadi as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing 2023, including opinions on his dancing skills and the diversity of the lineup.
Steven
Hey Stephany, did you see that Eddie Kadi has been announced as the fifth celebrity contestant for Strictly Come Dancing 2023?
Stephany
Yes, I did! Eddie Kadi is a well-known stand-up comedian and radio presenter. He's performed all over the world and even headlined the O2 Arena in London. It's great to see someone with his talent joining the show.
Steven
Definitely, his energy and entertainment style will surely bring a unique flavor to the competition. But I have to say, I'm not too familiar with his dancing skills. Do you think he'll be able to keep up with the other contestants?
Stephany
That's a fair point. While Eddie may not have a background in dance, we've seen in the past that contestants with little to no experience can surprise us. Plus, Strictly is known for its professional dancers who can work wonders with their partners. So, I think Eddie has a good chance of holding his own.
Steven
I guess you're right. The professionals on the show are incredibly talented and can bring out the best in their celebrity partners. It'll be interesting to see how Eddie progresses throughout the competition.
Stephany
Absolutely. And let's not forget about the other contestants who have been announced so far. We have Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, and Krishnan Guru-Murthy. It's quite a diverse lineup.
Steven
That's true. It's great to see such a mix of actors, presenters, and performers coming together. But I did notice that some fans have expressed their disappointment with Amanda Abbington's inclusion. Apparently, they have issues with a tweet she made in the past.
Stephany
Yes, I saw that too. It seems some fans took issue with a tweet she made about a drag baby sensory and cabaret show. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don't think it should overshadow her talent and potential on Strictly.
Steven
Fair point. It's important to separate personal opinions from someone's professional abilities. I hope the backlash doesn't affect her experience on the show.
Stephany
Agreed. Well, it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the lineup shapes up. I have to go. I must... take care of some errands. Sorry, got to run!
Steven
No problem, Stephany. Take care and have a great day!
