Dan Snow, but he's possibly too tall even for Natalie?
He's around Dan Lobb's height so he could do it if he wanted to but I somehow doubt he would because he wants to be taken seriously as a historian
I'd like to see his uncle Jon Snow do the show - he's great on Channel 4 news and - has charm, wit, humour with a dash of good old eccentricity but I doubt very much if he'd do it either because he's a very private person.
Would be great if they could cajole these serious news readers like Paxman (mentioned earlier whose turned it down) and Snow to do a one off special for CIN - it could be very funny
I would think Charlotte could be a likely signing.
She and Robin would be good - and I think it is time Robin had a youngish female celeb
Charlotte Church would be a good signing but would she want to follow in Gavin's footsteps? She'd be the ideal build and height for Robin. I'm not a fan of hers or Robin for that matter either but someone like her would be a good match for him.
I know some people on here have strong feelings about Robin's choreography but I'd like to see what he can do with a contender.

In that you have your ITV Presenter, Eastender, Array of Sports, Oldish and currentish people.
Richard Osman (the tall bloke from Pointless) - he's been seeping into primetime a lot lately and of course the celeb version of Pointless is frequently on before Strictly. He'd been great.
And she'd fill the obligatory ex-EastEnder slot to boot.
You must both be thinking of someone else?
Freema Agyeman followed Billie Piper as companion to Dr Who (the David Tennant version). Nowhere near old enough to have been in Tenko or Bergerac, and I've never seen her in Eastenders.

We always have somebody from Let's Dance for Comic/Sport Relief and they announced the first names for that today: Tim Vine, Ricky Hatton, Nina Conti and Jon Culshaw. Conti probably isn't 'mainstream' enough for Strictly but I could see any of the other three doing it.

That's the one!
Hugh Dennis, please.
he and Erin would be good together - may even see her as Ms Whiplash:D

Some of the younger actors from Mrs Browns boys would be good, although I think they are all related to Brendan O'Carroll.
James & Ola - Paul O'Grady.
Ola can have Paul, and James can have Lily Savage - probably kill them both though !!
Ardal O'Hanlon hasn't done much lately - he would be good.
Mel and Sue from British Bake off.

All good
I'd like to see David Tennant and Freema Agyeman on the show this year.
I remember her from Tenko and Bergerac, I think she would be a great signing
And she'd fill the obligatory ex-EastEnder slot to boot.
Would bet a lot of money on one or both being recruited for Strictly (especially Ricky- I think he's realised Reality TV is the way to go)
You must both be thinking of someone else?
Freema Agyeman followed Billie Piper as companion to Dr Who (the David Tennant version). Nowhere near old enough to have been in Tenko or Bergerac, and I've never seen her in Eastenders.
I'm sure they could work around the thirteen inch height difference.
Louise Jameson played Leela to Tom Bakers Doctor she also stared in Tenko, Bergerac and EastEnders.
Freema Agyeman is also a companion in Doctor Who
