totally agree with you fatskia about celebs who dont make an effort (Anne Widdecombe immeidately springs to mind!!)
The pros have enough hard work to do without the added headache of a celeb who just doesnt give a damn!!
In my ideal Strictly all the celebs would have the potential to win but I know that isnt realistic
I knew nothing of Matt or Harry before they did Strictly either but found them both to be brilliant partners for Aliona. Rav, IMO, tended to listen to what the judges had to say instead of listening to Aliona and, again IMO, the celebs need to listen to the professional rather than the judges
