Just a heads up that BBC Breakfast, Wednesday morning, has clips from the rehearsals, from 6.50am.

They've already shown clips of Edwina (with Anton), and Russel Grant - my goodness - he's got plenty of calories to get rid off.

The pros they are dancing with in these clips are not necesarily those they will be partnered with.

Oh dear. Already we can see that Audley can't move a step, and Edwina has a permanent "come to bed Mr Major" face on.

Lulu looked very professional.

Vincent was saying height considerations are vital when pairing, and, therefore, he should be paired Lula.

Nancy, very modestly, said her friends think she is 'fantastic dancer'. Breakfast also carried a review of this morning's papers. Did you notice the front cover of The Mail (I think it was) - a full length glam photo of Nancy. Obviously one to watch.

I think Craig will be on the show, and giving his views later.

thanks Martyboy

And Robbie Savage is on the Chris Moyles radio show this morning if anyone is interested

I caught a glimpse of this too. From the bits i saw, Audley i think will struggle, didnt look good with simple things even like "step feet together step" (not a technical term). Edwina and Russel both look like they can move, but from what i saw of Anita, she didn't seem to have much which suprised me! Artem was spotted paired with Nancy, and Robbie with Erin...I wonder if these could be possible couples?

I cringed when Nancy said that. Agree Lulu looked good while Audley looked not so good! Vincent clearly hoping for Lulu! Edwina didn't look too bad.

I like what the choreographer said - some are good at the steps, some have rhythm, some are good value!!

I spotted Audley with Katya and Russell with Kristina. I too also spotted Robbie with Erin

Apparently they have filmed seven different endings where they end up with their actual partners. Lulu looked great, Nancy is so up herself I am sure she is going to annoy me instantly and i couldn't see Jason Donovan?

Ewwwwww!

oh no! I'm on my way to work

On a happier note, I've started following lots of this years celebs on twitter. I'm officially excited!

I refuse to believe the producers would be so cruel as to give Russell to Kristina!

I really don't think they know, they're just gravitating to people they like!

Russell should go to Aliona.

Well from the footage Flavia was also seen moving with Audley and Dan. She looked so tiny compared with the former but not so out of place with Dan. Are we sure they are the same height?

Don't think the 2 Italians will be put together. Nancy is too tall for Vincent.

Hate to say it but think I might be going to like Robbie. Never thought I would say that.

Can I watch this anywhere? I missed it! Who were ola & James dancing with?

Didn't notice James but Ola danced with Robbie and Rory (I think). Actually think Robbie and Ola would be a good pairing.

Thanks have to find it online maybe!!

Me too, he came over as quite self deprecating.

I think once again Nancy might be someone who doesn't come across well because she doesn't have enough British-ness about her.

Sad because like Martina Hingis, I think she would be a good dancer - and I think Nancy could be very funny too! I might have to vote early this year to keep her in!

Don't laugh, but I think I read somewhere that in his youth, Russell Grant was a ballet dancer, so I don't expect him to be the worst dancer by a long shot.

I couldn't see him either and there was some random guy there who I couldn't place so I think he must have been his stand in.

Was just about to ask the same thing. Where was Jason? Just watched again to compare heights and who was dancing with him but obviously he wasn't. Probably means he will be lacking rehearsal time when we see the filmed group dance.

Wasn't there somebody last year who missed out on a lot of the rehearsal time and it REALLY showed?

Sounds like a match made in hell

I think Robbie Savage looked and sounded nice

Rewatched.

Saw James dancing with Edwina and Alex

Brendan danced with Nancy. Actually think they would suit as a pairing.
