    Definitely Janette!! ;-):p

    In seriousness, I think it's Aliona and possibly Otille (is that how you spell her name?)

    Aliona is 5' 5" and if the Iwan Thomas rumours are correct he is 6'2".
    the pairings are going to be interesting :D

    For some reason I thought she was 5'7". I should probably pay more attention :blush:

    :D

    From what I can gather from the Google height chart :D Natalie is 5'10" and then the next is Janette at 5'6" :confused: the rest come in at between 5'2" and 5'5" (can't find a height for Otile, though).

    Janette is only 5'0/5'1 on every source I've seen!

    Is it true that Joannefromgrimsby is not competing because she is on ITT instead???

    Now that really is something to appreciate.

    I have very high hopes for Jay Boyband.
    He may not be what I'd call eye candy, but he does seem to have a decent sense of the ridiculous and he seems game for a laugh.
    Hopefully he'll be more Harry McFly than SimonfromBlue.

    Crazy as at least one picture shows she is clearly shorter than both Karen & Aliona.

    I know :D but Google how tall is Jeanette Manrara and the answer is 5'6" :D

    Either a typo & should read 158cms or she was measured in heels. ^_^

    Yup, and i'm able to appreciate this as I never watch ITT live anymore due to the virtues of the FF button.

    Hopefully not as Geography teacher like as Harry. If UnWanted Jay starts turning up to ITT in Argyle knitwear then i'll lose all hope for him.

    Found this video of Otile dancing samba with her pro dance partner. First time I have seen a pro dance samba with real movement, fire and verve.

    This girl can really rock it

    I record ITT and usually spend a grand total of 3-4 mins out of 30 mins watching the bits I want to see (rehearsals mainly), the rest is pure filler as far as I'm concerned.

    I heard someone from Call The Midwife is on the show............ and I almost threw up until I learned it isn't Miranda Hart.

    So I went from massive unnapreciation to enormous appreciation in a few seconds.

    I took one for the team and watched the One Show tonight! Even more harrowing as Keith Lemon was a guest *shudders*.

    Pleased that Iwan has been confirmed. Would be happy if he drew Goddess Nat... think that they could have a similar style relationship that she had with Michael Vaughn. UnWanted Jay looked to be a similar height to Antony Ogogo & so should be tall enough for her too. Now watch her get paired with Ainsley *wibble*

    Unappreciating Kirsty though as i've always found her quite irritating.

    Overall, quite pleased with the line-up- some celebs that I like, a couple of unknown entities to have a clean slate with & some good unappreciating fodder to get my teeth into with my spotty bummed chums :D

    It's not a bad line up, only one I really can't stand, but to see Andre go Cuban heel to Cuban heel with O'Donnell for the same vote could be highly amusing - and O'Donnells fast Latin should be an, ummm, experience - I'm already having flashbacks to some Irish wedding receptions of my youth and certain Uncles enthusiastic exploits on the dance floor :o

    ETA and Goddess Natalie better get one of the ones with, hopefully, some potential - Anthony Jay (preferred) or Iwan - give her a comedy pairing with either PA or DO'D and I'll hunt the producers down myself

    hands Kmc a very stiff drink

    I think Anthon is too small for Natalie - Google height chart has him at 5'9". Jay or Iwan (Jeremy or Ainsley) seem the best fits if the pair up elves are being kind. Even in his stackiest of heels with his highest hair Petey is only going to come up to her armpit :D

    Can I nominate Jay for thread pet?

    Preferably one of these two or I will definitely be unappreciating! Jay seems like he will be a good choice for thread pet.

    Jay's currently my favoured for the position, but we shall see.

    I don't think PAs ego could take being paired with Nat :D - I'm hoping for Jay (and who the hell does he look like, I'm sort of getting Heath Ledger's younger, less good looking brother :confused: )

    Has Daniel O'Donnell had to pull out because of injury yet?

    I reckon happily married gentleman about town Peter is going to be paired with just as happily married Ola. There's no way he'd be allowed to be put together with anyone young, single or sexy. He's already been down the fauxmance route with Jordan, and look how delightfully that turned out.

    I'm quite liking Jay and Iwan. Which given my track record in backing losers is probably the kiss of death, and they'll both be voted off in the first week due to a technical hitch, Tess making a balls up of some kind, and a suspicious number of hanging chads.

    I would rather watch Sir Cliff than Daniel O'Donnell.



    Now if it was Chris DeBurgh as stand in, I would be just as >:(>:(>:(

    On the other hand, it could still be Chris de Burgh.

    Unappreciating the lack of outrage and my general apathetic stance on the victims this year. PDuh I can laugh at, Jamelia will be whiny and annoying. Everyone else....meh? Hopefully Jay will be as sarcastic and Dottish as I hope, and I'll vote for him as thread pet.

    If it's not Team Pola I will be amazed.
