Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast.

It's the end of the bank holiday.

We don't get another one for 15 years, but who cares?

Every day's a holiday.

Tuesday, the 28th of August, I trust you are well.

And the Strictly Come Dancing Launch, Ashley, they've already started rehearsing.

All the people are in for the day. They've been dancing for more than a week and a half now.

The Katie Piper's, the Vic Hope, the Kate Silvertons, the Ashley Roberts, they've all turned up in their little sort of sequined outfits.

Ashley Roberts has hit back at critics of her performance saying,

booty popping won't give her an unfair advantage. But she has been dancing for aid. That's what the pussycat dolls did. They were dancers. And in fact, more of them, I think, well, you know,

I mean, there are quite a number of professional people in there. Lee Ryan. I mean, the first show

is going to feature

Nile Rogers and Sheet, Craig David, and Stefflon Dom.

God's name is Steflon Dom.

And this is supposed to be a programme we've all heard of, haven't we?

Perhaps they've got something to do with the producer.

Katie Pryper has admitted in an interview

that her second pregnancy left her feeling depressed and low.

Good picture though. Very good, very good picture. Also, Lee Ryan lifts the lid on his hopes for a show romance.

Oh, God, already. I'm sorry, you've missed the point of it, haven't you, darling. You know, just when we think, we'll give you a little bit of a lift-up, you open your mouth and out comes trash.
