Not too bad i don't think. The only one i would scrub off is Jodie, so i'm still hoping for at least one surprise.

Is this pretty much confirmed or just from the rumours?

I think i would change Edwina to go with Anton, Chemmy with James and Jodie (if she has to take part ) can go with Robin.



Considering it's very much late August now we really haven't had many rumours. Where's all the fit male celebs i've been waiting for

As much as this line-up of females is not bad and if you look at the men this is what I'm thinking:

Chris Tarrant, 64
Russell Grant, 60
Gregg Wallace, 46
Jason Donovan, 43
Robbie Savage, 36
Ricky Hatton, 32
Neil McDermott, 30

Wouldn't it be nice, if when the cast is released in the next week, there were a few surprises and biggish names to add, though a cast like the 7 ladies the OP stated and the 7 here would be O.K :P

Exactly as I would pair them except I think Jason should be with Erin, and Robbie with Katya. I am feeling this is the 14 celebrities, really...

Hi all, this is my 1st post here!!

I registered almost 1 yr ago, but forgot my username & password & have now been forced log in to avoid annoying adverts! I'm not back at work until after the bank holiday, so hopfully I'll have time to read & chat.

Regarding the predictions - the female line-up seems much more promising than the above list of males. As ususal I think the female pros will have a much harder task than the men. I think I'll trawl back to this time last year to remind myself how many of those predictions proved to be correct, who was expected to do well & who were predicted to reach the final.

Few height issues there - highlighted them in bold - not to mention Erin does not desrve to be lumbered with Russell Grant after having people of no ability the previous years. Flavia had a chance last year with Jimi who was a decent dancer- f anyone is due the dud it is Flavia and Natalie

I didn't think Nancy was as tall as that, but even still she wouldn't be too tall for Vincent.

Not that I think it makes the slightest difference who is 'due' a dud, as personally I don't think any of them do, but If duds are there to be given out, I'd give one to Erin before Flavia.

Erin has TWICE been given the best male in the series and failed to win, and while I personally think Matt was the best male in his year, most on this forum including you, would disagree and say that he wasn't.... so really Flavia has NEVER been given the best male dancer to work with, unlike Erin......So on that theory I would say Flavia, Ola, Kristina and Katya ALL deserve the better partners before Erin this time around.

I agree with footygirl, in this instance. Erin should recieve a worthy partner at the least...Vincent isn't that tall is he? Nancy at 5ft5 plus heels = 5ft7, isn't Vincent shorter therefore?

Hello and welcome to DS

Yeah I agree, and every year the female celebs always seem so much better than the males, but hopefully there might be a couple of guys still to surprise us as there really isn't any hot young ones in that lineup.

I would be happy for Kristina if she got someone who looks like they may be one of the better males as she well and truly deserves it. But being such a Flav fan, I would have to give her a different partner

Also, if it turns out that Holly and Brendan are partners (which seems likely given her twitter follows), I could possibly see the powers that be pairing Natalie with Jason, potentially giving them two powerful aussie (well one kiwi) couples to play off against each other etc However, if Jason turns out to be good I wouldn't mind him with Nat as I really wouldn't mind seeing her on our screens for a good bit of the series

I'm just going on what someone on Twitter said who knew someone who knew Nancy (or something...) and thought she was more 5'2" ish.

I have to disagree - Tom was a better dancer than Austin - and Ola has won the series recently - The fact that Flavia had a chance on paper last year is another point - Erin had Peter Shilton - who should have been with Natalie. Erin deserves a good celeb this year

Erin is from NZ too - but born in Australia - so if they are going down that route there is another possibility - I think given that Natalie has had two natural talents already she needs someone who is not endowed with as much natural talent so that we can see if she can make a silk purse out of a sows ear

That's one of the reasons I think that Vincent and Nancy could poss be paired too....I think the Italian craziness would be pretty good entertainment

I don't mind Flavia not getting the best, and would prefer her to get one of the 'gimmick' celebs to someone who was middle of the table, but too serious to choreograph anything other than a straight dance with....but I am thinking that TPTB are bringing in Russell for entertainment value like Ann last year, and on that theory think that they are more likely to pair him with Erin than quiet Flavia.

It wouldn't be fair though - Erin has had enough duds in 8 series - only twice has she had decent dancers in Colin and Austin. Flavia had a chance last year with Jimi who could dance- why lumber Erin with a third non dancer on the spin

I'm not saying Erin doesn't, I would like them ALL to get a good celeb but the show doesn't work on who out of the pros 'deserves' the best, but is hugely based on entertainment value, and personality wise I would rather watch Erin with Russell Grant than Flavia with him!
