it looked like Mat and Cara have done dancing before - those were not three weeks of training preformances

They have- Kara won a SCD Sport Relief special, and Matt won an amateur latin competition he took part in for Blue Peter.

Of course, they both have natural talent, which is probably more of a contributory factor!

And would you really want to watch a show where they all danced like Ann and Paul?

Well it didn't take long did it? Every year

Who's Don?

My sentiments exactly, *facepalm*

Imagine the public outcry if Jennifer Grey (DWTS) was on Strictly. The country would be too small...

And obviously you did not read all the criticism of Kara's dancing tonight.

It's disgusting the experience some people have. Look at Michelle for example.

Fat lot of good it did her .

Matt was also an amateur gymnast champion so would be able to perform in front of an audience.

+ amateur Latin champion.

But tbqh I really don't care about past experience, really.
