Always had a thing for him. Cannot wait to see if he can dance well. So looking forward to Saturday

Me neither!! I think he might be ok! I think his partner will whip him into shape!!! )

Hmm..

He might get an early "red card."

He comes from my neck of the woods and I saw him in Sainsburys a few months ago

In football if he is on the opposition he is quite annoying but you would always want him to play for your team if he could, I am looking forward to seeing his dancing skills

There seems to be some bad feeling about for Robbie and he said himself he isnt popular with football fans.........however I know nothing about football and have never clapped eyes on him before so I will wait and see.

He is playing for Wales against England in a chairty football match tonight so I hope he doesnt get injured ......I know I said I know nothing about football and that is a true statement ...I only know about this game because Gethin is also playing so hopefully he will give Robbie a few hints.

I haven't checked any spoilers as I am looking forward to being surprised on Saturday. I really hope he's paired with Katya or Aliona - assuming they're both in this year's line up.

He seems like he's really up for the challenge and if the celebs can have fun, at least in the early stages, I think it's more fun for the audience !

Never seen him before in my life, don't like football, but he seems nice.

Also he's hot!

Reports are that although he says he can't dance, he shows natural rhythm - I think he'll be great on the show!

I worked closely with him on a project just a couple of weeks ago. He couldn't have been more fun, hardworking and personable. Hope he does really well.

Katya and Aliona are staying as pros this year

I don't think he'll end up with either of them though. Katya is the second tallest female pro (after Natalie) so she'll probs get Audley or Dan - though my money is on Dan. As for Aliona, I don't think she quite has the personality for him (plus we expect her to get a duffer anyway).

In terms of personality + height, Erin would be my first choice followed by Ola.

Savage is actually taller than you might think - about 5' 11'', I think. He wants Natalie.

Well Natalie's about 5'9 so that wouldn't work. Dan and Audley are both around the 6'5/6'6 mark, so they'll go to Natalie and Katya/Erin. Harry's also over the 6' barrier and I think Rory and Jason are pretty close as well.

Robbie is probably one of the shorter male celebs this year, so he'll most likely go to a shorter pro. Out of those Ola seems the best choice personality-wise, but I think Erin is about 5'6/5'7ish so he could go with her.

It's because what he lacked in footballing talent, he made up for in kicking lumps out of the opposing teams' best players

He is up for a laugh though and has self admittedly stated that he is not very bright. A popular anecdote about him (which he tells himself) is that after a blow to his head, the physio ran on the pitch, after treatment he was asked who the prime minister - he replied "no idea", so was taken off with suspected concussion.

Days later he was talking to the physio and said that he wasn't concussed as he never had any idea who the prime minister was

Okay, this is funny.

I think it's a difficult one with Robbie, he's very funny and very self-deprecating, but he's very full on and doesn't really have a self-censoring button, so he says stupid things.

He's very marmite, you will either love him or hate him and if he can censor himself a little, he could do well if he's got any rhythm of course.

He's much vainer than Gavin was last year, so his partner is going to have their work cut out getting him away from the mirror.

He looked shit on the BBC video
Orange, dumb with no dance talent...if he continues to get his tango'd chest out i give him 8 weeks (that's seven weeks more than he deserves!)

One thing about Robbie is he has personality whether you like him or not! He'll never be accused of being bland!

I like him. He amuses me, really hoping he'll do well and get a really good, fun relationship with his partner.
