Exciting lineup for Strictly Come Dancing 2023

Steven

Hey Stephany, did you see that Eddie Kadi has been confirmed as the fifth celebrity contestant for Strictly Come Dancing 2023?

Stephany

Oh really? I hadn't heard that. But I'm not surprised, Eddie is a multi-award winning stand-up comedian and radio presenter. He even headlined the O2 Arena in London as the first British black comedian. I think he'll bring a lot of excitement to the show.

Steven

Yeah, I agree that Eddie is a talented entertainer, but I'm not sure how well he'll do on Strictly. Dancing is a whole different ballgame. Some fans might be skeptical about his dance skills compared to other contestants who have more experience in that area.

Stephany

That's a fair point, but I think that's what makes Strictly so interesting. It's about celebrities stepping out of their comfort zones and trying something new. Plus, Eddie seems really enthusiastic about it. I think he'll surprise us.

Steven

Well, I hope you're right. Speaking of which, have you heard about the other contestants confirmed so far?

Stephany

Yes, along with Eddie, we also have Amanda Abbington, Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Angela Scanlon. It's great to see such a diverse lineup this year.

Steven

Absolutely. I'm looking forward to seeing how they all perform. But I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical about some of the choices. Like Layton Williams, for example. He's already an experienced actor and dancer, so it feels a bit unfair to have him compete against complete novices.

Stephany

I understand your concern, but Layton's experience might actually bring a different dynamic to the competition. It's not just about who has the most dance experience, but also how they grow and improve throughout the season. I think it'll be exciting to see how Layton pushes himself and how the other contestants rise to the challenge.

Stephany

I have to go. I must finish an article for tomorrow's deadline. It was great discussing the Strictly Come Dancing lineup with you though. Let's catch up again soon!

Steven

No problem, Stephany. Good luck with your article. It was nice chatting with you too. Take care!
