Gotta have James!! If I get beaten off in the crush I would settle for Ian - but he would be second best!!

It would be James for me.

At first thought then Matthew would also be my choice without a doubt, but I do wonder if I would actually be able to make much eye contact (which is pretty essential!) without going all gooey, wobbly and blushing like a beetroot.

So bearing that in mind then I would probably pick the safer options of Brian or Ian (bearing in mind I am 5ft10) - fun training sessions, both great teachers and easy on the eye.

Strangely enough, I think I would pick James too, even though I LOVE Matthew and Brian.

Of the current pro's I'd want Vincent the most, because he is so nice and he'd be a more suitable height for me....if I was taller I'd go for Matthew because he's lovely and would be patient.

Another one for James here!!

If not him, then... Ian maybe or Darren. Although only Darren if I've got latent dance talent that he could bring out of me. I'd hate for him to have another partner who has no chance of winning.

After much thought I'd choose Matt.

But to be honest I'd loved to be paired with almost any of the current pros - even the women - because I think they are fabulous.

At the bottom of my list would be Vincent, Aliona and Natalie, so that still leaves me 11 others I would LOVE to dance with!

Oh, well if I'm allowed to chose a man - Ian!!

i think i would take ola! thanking you!

but even though i'm a man, i'd like to have a foxtrot or quickstep with anton!

If I were a boy, it'd be Lilia....she just seems so calm and level headed.

But I'm a girl, and it has to be Brian - I love his teaching style, and the way he seems to goad a reaction out of you to make you want to achieve better. I think I'd respond really positively to that (a bit of a perfectionist).

Either James, Brian or Darren, I'm short so Darren probably would be more suited.

Matthew Cutler.

I'd love for it to be Ian - he is so lovely and really funny, but he would be about a foot (at least) taller than me - so I my second choice woud be Darren - he is so patient with his partners and so supportive of them. Or Brian - I really like him and brings out the best in his partners.

Is there a lot of very brave people around here or am I the only one that thinks James looks quite shouty and grrrr?

Would also love to dance with Vincent but I think I would be too busy giggling to learn much

Matthew - a true gent, very gentle and kind and a great choreographer.

or

Anton - for ballroom - just seems like he might be a giggle, although as someone else said, he might want to shoot me for physical reasons...

or

James - just because he's...well...yum

or Brendan - just 'cos I'd quite like to annoy him

I like Ian as well, but I think he'd be too tall for me!


Actually, I'd give my right leg to be taught by any of them for three months and get paid for it!

(although if I did give my right leg, some of the dances may be a challenge...)

Lol! You could probably still do the rhumba

It would have to be the lovely Vincent, as he would make the teaching about having fun too.

Another vote for James here. I really like him and I don't think he's scary at all! I'm slightly surprised and happy that so many people here have picked him!

He is a little, but he's also a pussycat at times. He got a bad rep because Georgina didn't put the effort in, but he's been lovely to everyone he's danced with ever since.

Oh alright then, would just be worried cos am clumsy oaf and don't like being told off

I think I'd choose James with Ian a second - although he's too tall for me so that wouldn't work very well.

Brendan There's nothing else to say.

However should he be busy Matt.

Of the ladies Lillia

As others have mentioned, height is an issue with me unless we only did comedy routines of the Seaside Postcard variety (wish I was short enough to pair with Vincent though)

So choices are:

Matthew - too gentle I think - I need discipline

Ian - I'd probably spend too much time laughing with him.

Brendan - I'd worry he was going to revert to his previous incarnation but if he signed in blood that he would be like he is with Jo then ok

Anton - sadly no for the same reasons given previously, I love cheese on toast too much

James - it looks like he ticks all the boxes for me (I hope he is 6' plus?)

Brendan . Noone else just Brendan .
