Hi there, they've had several GMTV presenters in previous years (I didn't watch it then but there was certainly Andrew Castle who was with Ola I think and Fiona Phillips as well) - neither did all that well.

Pasha replaced a young dancer last year called Jared (he was cute and was with Tina someone from Corrie), but he was too young and not experienced enough when dancing with the other professionals and his choreography wasn't great either. She was a good little dancer too and if she'd been with someone else she may have got futher.

Let's just say Kate Carraway wasn't the best of dancers either

My OH told me Jared couldn't do the raunchy stuff because he is deeply religious. It looks like Pasha won't have that problem!

Didn't Jared replace Brian Fortuna who copped off with Ali Bastian from Hollyoaks in the previous series.??

Maybe they were trying to reduce the "shag factor" a bit and it backfired.

According to the BBC Strictly site, he is the professional partner of Katya Virshilis.
