See my post above! I want to see Flavia with Louis - they could make some great shapes together. I reckon he'd make a really good AT partner for her, too.

Flavia and Louis would be cool, Flavia would be able to get more work with him and doing more

Well quite. And Flavia's due one of the sports people - she's never been partnered with one, and neither has Brendan, so it's about time they got lucky in that respect.

I decided that I'd avoid the spoilers but I don't think I'll be able to wait until Saturday, so I'll be glued to this thread tonight!

The recording should be underway now, yeah? Last year the first definite pairings came in at close to midnight - perhaps a little earlier this year as the red carpet bit was done yesterday?

Midnight seems so far away lol

Just hoping for somebody who can move a bit, which I suspect Kimberley and Denise would be good.


I have the same kind of vibes however she has so much determination to do well I think she may be driven to be a good dancer.

As long as he is not lumped with Lisa. Seeing that would make my jaw drop like a brick.

I want to her the pairing ....... but don't want to be disappointed!!

Theres no way I will resist checking, I tried last year and failed badly

Pasha needs a good female to show off what he can do with them and his dancing skills, coz this guy is one of the best i think (i like watching him dance, he is free and he is adorkable)...... he isnt all about showing off his skills but that off his partner as well

Agreed. I'm terrified he'll get Lisa and that will spoil it all for me, lol. No offense to Lisa but I want Pash in the final again and I know with her that won't happen.

I know what you mean Stunty Lisa is too heavy to compete at the top level but as a dance teacher of some 30 odd years would bet my bottom dollar that Lisa has more rythm than Victoria you can have all the determnation in the world but no without rythm she will not win

Drama in the strictly studio, a cut lip, stedicam 'incident' with chiffon... But Brucie is not broken! #tvlegend

a cut lip?!

Can't wait fo see who gets who!

EEeek!! I wonder what happened and who got hurt!

Probably one of the females pros doing an OTT twirl across the floor into the arms of her newly announced partner has accidently lamped him one haha!

10pm tonight, Should be interesting

Really looking forward to finding out the pairings - I always prefer it to finding out the actual celebs!

Hoping Pasha gets Kimberley or Dani.

I'm struggling not to look at this thread! Last year, I had a slight barmy with the person who told us the pairings because I thought they were an unreliable source so maybe best I keep out!

No expense......... spent.........with the new judges table, eh?!

Cut lip... hmm... maybe Jerry Hall threw her stiletto at someone in a fit of rage after being partnered with Vincent?

It's the same table, isn't it? I'd imagine there needs to be lots of room under there for paddles and notes and whatnot.

Have an early start tomorrow so won't be able to see the pairings as they come in. Hopefully will be able to pass comment tomorrow morning.

I think the BBC's budget for chairs/ desks went to the Voice's huge red chairs and buttons
