Anyone else find this quite awkward The only ones that seemed to be happy with each other were Felicity and Vincent! I was cringing when Gavin and Katya(?) were paired up Should be interesting to see how the partnerships develop

Jimi and Flavia seemed very happy to have been paired up together.

Here is a video of them all backstage afterwards...Jimi and Flavia look pretty pleased to be paired up too.

Brendan looked over the moon at being paired with Michelle.

Gavin just looked as though he didn't want to be there full stop tbh

Missing post

Patsy reminded me of Pepe le Pew poor cat 'girlfriend' from the cartoons

Matt and Aliona look very happy to be together as well.

From Hayley

Watching the video now...

Ann - "I have no sense of rhythm"
Anton - "Ah"

That made me laugh!

The young lass from Coronation Street (?) didn't look that comfortable, but that could have just been nerves.

Actually I would say so as well, but like you I think it was nerves.

I thought Tina and Jared looked quite cute, as in the 'young' couple.

Vincent went from a presentiment of terror to ecstatic relief, in case someone had tricked him and he really was left with Ann.

That was amusing.

Was that her partner or her little brother ?

I wouldn't say Felicity and Vincent were the only ones who looked happy at all.

Kara and Artem, Tina and Jared, Patsy and Robin, Matt and Aliona, Scott and Natalie, Michelle and Brendan and Jimi and Flavia all looked happy to me.

And for the record, I don't think Vincent looked overjoyed.

Michelle & Brendan looked pleased

I agree with this, and i thought Pamela looked quite chuffed to have got James

I laughed when katya had to rearraged Gavin's arm so she could put her arm thru it to go up the stairs. He seemed to be on another planet...

Me too . !!!!! Obviousley not used to escorting a lady with decorum .

I would say James, Flavia, Aliona, Natalie, Brendan, Artem and Robin all looked very happy with their partners. I wouldn't say Kristina was overjoyed, but I don't think she was too disappointed. Jared looked happy but Tina not so much, but that was maybe just nerves. Vincent's expression was a mixture of delight and relief, he did look happy because he did think he was getting a dud this year

Gavin - "im very happy"

How can we tell? he looks stupdendously bored by the whole thing

I am kindof hoping we dont ever get to see HappY Gavin ,.

hahaah! thanks for that my laptops now wearing my coffee !

He does, he reminds me so much of Joe Calzaghe, who always looked bored, didn't smile very much, came across as shy and had a welsh accent
