Well hopefully she'll be to short for Anton ,but what height is Judy dare I ask ? and on the subject of Judy ,I thought she had a dodgy knee so how can she dance with that anyway?
How could the BBC be so cruel to Anton
2 of 2
most of the rumoured celebrities sound rubbish lol.
Poor Anton if he gets Judy the man deserves a break for crying out loud. Erin will probaly get Richard as he's tall and Erin is quite tall.
I would run a mile if I was either Anton/Erin or any other pro thinking I might get one of them 2 haha

I reckon she'd probably be better with Vincent, he could handle her, whereas I'm not sure poor Darren could! Can you imagine all the flirting and innuendo if she was put with Vincent? It would make great viewing!
Sharon would eat Darren alive 
Er... because Anton's latin is not as good as the other pros, so whoever is partnered with him is at a disadvantage.
Before anyone says it, I'd just as readily say I don't want Ola getting a strong partner because her ballroom and choreography aren't as good as the other pros.
Maybe it's not that at all though, could just be they like Anton's "English gentleman" routine too much to mix it up with fierce competitiveness!
That would work for me

I think if Sharon is going to be a contestant then her partner will probably be Vincent more so than Darren 2. I think she'd frighten the life out of poor Darren haha

We'll have to disagree big time on this!

Thanks Katie
You're right of course. Anton always seems to do the latin with his tongue firmly in his cheek doesn't he Sharon and Darren. I'd LOVE to see it. TV Gold I reckon
they couldn't really make darcey a contestant, what with all of her ballet experience. ballet gives you a head start in my ballroom because it gives you an elegant posture etc etc.
i do think that anton definately deserves a good partner this year - one who could potentially win it.
maybe someone like matthew cutler should get a bad one, he's a gentleman but has had 2 pretty good years, alesha won and christine made it very far.

But good preparation for the tight lycra wet suit he wore in "Hole in the Wall"
No, I admit that the smooth ballroom dancing Anton is better

Maybe that's where the idea for the show came from!

My money would be on Anton getting Sharon Osbourne. It would be a good audience puller, although I would feel sorry for Anton.”

Judy would never do Strictly.

If that's true, then how can she be a judge?
Being partnered with Anton is definately NOT a disadvantage ,Anton is the making of SCD ,he is a true gentleman and without him there would be no show ,and as for his latin not being as good as his ballroom haven't we worn out that record now -the poor man has'nt had much chance to show off his latin skills as yet as he always ends up with the duffers!

Darcy's not just any ballet dancer though. She's was the Jewel in the Royal Ballet's crown. The shining light of her generation.
The idea that she wouldn't obliterate the competition is just silly. Think of the strength and flexibility she has for starters, far better than most of the Strictly pros. She could never have been considered as a contestant.
It hasn't been mentioned much as the focus has been on Arlene/Alesha, but Darcey will also be involved in the training of the couples.
My guess would be this is partly because every series Arlene tells at least one celeb to take some ballet classes to improve their posture, arms, etc.
Look at the uproar there was because Cherie did ballet more than 40 years ago. Darcey would never have been considered as a contestant imho.
