Love Kara Tointon- think she'd be good with James.

What about Steffi Graf for the sporty female and Julia Sawalha for Vincent.

I'd love James to get somebody who could take him a long way. I thought his luck was in last year but it seemed not

You really are good at suggesting people, i like Julia and Steffi (haven't seen her in years though).

Hannah and Darren, no thanks! I actually don't like her at all for anyone but especially not him. And Duncan and Lilia, seriously? After all the bad partners she has had in a row? Why?

I like this list much more. Emma and Darren would be a great match and I like the idea of Guy and Flavia. Nigel and Lilia and Aliona and Jamie are good too. Heidi and Vincent could be interesting.

Haha its my girlfriend more than anything- she loves Strictly, like seriously is obsessed!

Steffi would be great, she's 5'9 so Brian maybe, and seen as Steffi and Brian both have residences in the US they could train their before commiting to training soley in the US.

Its a good list but it has no star power. You need some big names to stop the series falling flat.

That's where you come in

The pairings are much better and that's what matters at the end of the day. Look at Chris and Ola.

Yeah but I still think that calibre of celebs guarantees higher ratings than pairings.

The pairings can change.

Aren't we all

We're not really caring about ratings though - I'd rather my favourite pros have a decent partner than a massively famous one. I know the BBC want some star names, but the pairings still have to make sense height-wise and personalty-wise - as Chris and Ola have indeed proven

I think last time we had a thread like this I suggested Joanna Lumley for older lady, and Peter Firth for older fella.

Jonna Lumley would be great! She'd be very popular with the public and might do it, seeing as how she said she is desperate to do Celebrity Big Brother.

Who is Peter Firth?

One more for the night, Marie Helvin.

Got a thing for the glamorous older lady as you can see.

That is becoming obvious

I prefer the younger celebs, which might also be obvious from MY list

Preeya Kalidas
Marc Elliot

For the more mature ladies I would like to see either Penny Smith or Sue Barker. Would also love to see Charlie & Susannah from BBC Breakfast, plus Julia Sawalha and Martin Clunes.

Peter Firth is Harry in Spooks btw.

Need to stay away from the older women.

Keisha the ex-sugababe. Stick her with Darren, and watch the fireworks.

I read that Kerry Katona is rumoured to want to do it ....


:| :|



I really hope not

I think we're all hoping the BBC have more sense than to let her do it!

Please no Kerry!

What about Kirsty Gallacher or Elle MacPherson. Elle isn't adversed to reality TV (she was a guest pannelist on BB's Big Mouth) and is also the host of Britain's Next Top Model.

She is leaving EE isn't she so you never know.

I suggested Heidi so if they both did it it'd certainly be interesting

Antisa Khvichava and Anton DuBeke


Google her- She's the world's oldest woman at 130. She'd suit Anton fine.

I think you'll find the worlds oldest woman has already done Strictly. She danced with Darren in Series 3.

HAHA!! Harsh, but it did make me laugh!
