    For sure non-dancer - Gregg, Tim, Scott, Alison, Judy, Steve

    Probably non-dancer - Jennifer, Thom, Sunetra, Jake (they have/had careers which could have had some form of training)

    Scott for sure! Plus Tim, Gregg, Steve and clearly Judy also. Jennifer perhaps, but not sure, Not sure about the rest (in terms of def having no pre-dance training or not any dance experience whatsoever).

    Thom was apparently in a boy band before his sport career, but have no idea if they danced, or how long Thom was in it for.

    Jake has been to stage school, but tweeted along the lines he had no pre-dance training (not sure if it was in reply to something James Jordan tweeted prior, or just a tweet in general reply to set a record straight).

    I'm not sure about Simon, as he can dance, but Blue never really danced properly (not proper routines that is) so I presume it's just natural talent what we see on Strictly.

    MDF had to ask Karen to point out the dance floor as he had never seen one before

    From what Simon has said, he hasn't had any formal dance training.

    All of them.

    They are a mixture of actors, presenters, sportsmen/women, politicians etc

    Mark and Pixie have had Stage School and I think Caroline and Frankie have also had Stage School training - which does include movement.

    Didn't she or her mother say that she did dancing as a child?

    Not everyone has a party where the "happy couple" dance. I know I didn't!
