I'm really surprised but glad the new dancers have been given men with a chance of doing really well, except Katya, though Tuffers could be the new joke figure.

I think Natalie and Aliona have a real shot of winning, two young guys should have rhythm.

-Phil Tufnell and Katya Virshilas
-Ricky Whittle and Natalie Lowe
-Rav Wilding and Aliona Vilani

Also last years newbies Brian and Kristina have promising partners.

I think Joe and Kristina is my favourite partnership, hope they can win she was so lovely last year.

-Ali Bastian and Brian Fortuna
-Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff
