Five days and Tweeting…

Sunday, 13 September 2009

September? How can it be September already? Maybe it’s just because we didn’t seem to have a summer, but this year’s gone ridiculously fast. Maybe I’m just getting old.

Anyway, the all-new-look Strictly starts on Friday, and isn’t that just weird enough in itself? Strictly? On a Friday? But what about It Takes Two? Will we get an ITT the second Friday night or will they give Claudia the night off? Who knows? Too many questions? I agree.

The build-up to this year’s series has been oddly cosy, though – at least to anyone who frequents Twitter. And if you don’t – get on there! It’s strange, but a series of brief 140-character long messages from the various pros and celebs have given us an insight into the pre-series training regime that we’ve never had before. This is definitely the year of Strictly Come Tweeting.

We’re regular Tweeters, of course (follow us here!), but if you’re just getting started, there are loads of Strictly folks also wasting valuable training time by Tweeting their progress.

Strictly professionals on Twitter: Erin Boag, Brian Fortuna, Katya Virshilas, Kristina Rihanoff, Ian Waite, Camilla Dallerup, Nicole Cutler, Karen Hardy.

Strictly celebs on Twitter: Rav Wilding, Phil Tufnell, Richard Dunwoody

Be warned: this stuff is addictive…
