Rumour has it that Angela Rippon, 78 , is going to be on this year’s Strictly as the oldest ever competitor. Someone I know and is well known for being a decent dancer ( Morecombe & Wise) .
I could never take to her and then, several years ago, I met a couple who were involved in TV productions and they said she was imperious, rude, and inflexible with a "Don't you know who I am" manner, so I felt justified. Kudos to her if she is prepared to go through all that gruelling practice and performance at 78, though.
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Yes, she definitely gives out that vibe cassandra. Less impressed with other possibles ‘ Ms Rippon will allegedly be joining actor Nigel Harman, BBC presenter Angela Scanlon and former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott on this year’s series.
Bobby Brazier, son of the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, and actor Adam Thomas, who stars in BBC One drama Waterloo Road have also been tipped to appear on the series.’

Angela Rippon, Amanda Abbington , Layton Williams and Krishnan Guru-Murphy confirmed. I have heard of three of them and the fourth comes from Bury- this is a miracle and must mean I won’t know most of the others appearing.
