More on this at Channel 4's website.

EastEnders stars barred from Strictly series sixThe Sun reports that actors and actresses in EastEnders are not allowed to compete in Strictly Come Dancing 2008 because the ballroom show lasts 16 weeks and that's too long for the soap to manage.

July 10 Strictly 2008 rumour quashed: June Saprong is too busyYou'll see from my previous post that the Daily Record was suggesting that June Sarpong was going to participate in Strictly Come Dancing series six 2008.
Well, we contacted June and her manager to ask them.
Here's the reply:
"June will not be doing Strictly Come Dancing due to her busy diary."
So there you have it.
Some newspapers would call that an exclusive.
June is certainly busy right now. She's just launched a website to get women more involved in political discussion: politicsandthecity.com.

June 09 Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumours: Sharon OsbourneWell that would be a Strictly Come Dancing series six coup, wouldn't it?
Sharon Osbourne has said she is quitting as a judge on The X Factor, the ITV show that battles for ratings with Strictly Come Dancing, AND it appears she might be keen to get her dancing shoes on.
The Sun quotes a 'pal' saying: "It would make one hell of a TV battle, so don’'t be surprised to see her hitting the dancefloor."
OK, we won't be surprised.
However, hasn't she said she's quitting as an X Factor judge before?
June 03 Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumours: Hollyoaks actress wants to take partStrictly Come Dancing series six rumours continue.

She plays Carmel McQueen in (blogger's wife's favourite) Hollyoaks (I have to leave the room when it's on).
On the Daily Star website she says: “I would love to be on Strictly...I think that being able to dance is so sexy, especially for a guy. I just like all the glamorous dresses the girls get to wear, it would be fantastic.”
May 13 Strictly head judge Len Goodman slam pay row 'lies'Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman has hit out at newspaper reports that he's threatening to quit the BBC show unless he gets a pay rise.
Speaking in Los Angeles where he's currently judging the US version - Dancing With the Stars - Len insisted "it's a pack of lies", before joking: "Honestly, I'd rather part with my penis than give up Strictly Come Dancing!" At a special celebrity football match held at David Beckham's LA Galaxy ground, Len said he'd stopped worrying about what the UK papers say: "I don't care, it's just a load of nonsense really, people write what they want to write. At first I used to get all stressy but what does it matter?" Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli also came to Len's defence: "We never speak to the press. Len and I are the worst - we don't even have publicists because we just do our job. The moment you're in the public eye there is always speculation like this but it doesn't come from us. From what I'm concerned I'm pretty sure he's going to do the show." pa.press.net
