Tweet from Himesh...

Himesh Patel ‏@HimeshJPatel 47m
I'm afraid this is exorbitantly inaccurate. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/s...chelle-2845047 …


Think Ricky Norwood could be quite good if he is in it.

Are the stars taking part.

I guess this takes Elaine and Rochelle out of a full series as they've now done two specials. Rochelle was recently followed by Ian, so I guess they'll be partnering again.”

I wonder if this is actually confirmed or official or whatever. I haven't noticed any mention of it in the DS news.

I don't think he is wooden, I think he deliberately plays the character like that, as very reserved and slightly awkward. I don't really watch Eastenders any more, but sometimes I catch bits of it when my mum is watching it, and some of Tamwar's comments really make me laugh.

Would love any of those to do the proper series. Most looking forward to seeing Alan Carr next year if he does it. He would be such a laugh. Much better than Dave Myers.”

I would love to see Alan Carr on Strictly too. Has he hinted that he wants to do it next year then? I thought he had already turned it down a few times. I know he likes the show though, they keep showing him in the audience this year.

Looking forward to Flavia being back and I'm quite happy with the pairing with Rufus Hound He was good in the comic relief dance and should be good fun to work with too.

I can only think that her foot isn't healed enough for it which is a shame.

Elaine Paige is tiny. Even if Anton were taking part (which I now see he isn't) he would be too tall for her. My money would be on Pasha - having danced with Chelsee, who is also tiny.

As someone who has previously agreed to partner an old homophobic sandbag followed by somebody best known for who and what they've let into their lower regions, as well as being behind the helm of a show in which large celebrities are pushed into a pool of water by a block of foam... Anton is above nothing.

Ricky Norwood and Janette will win this comp if they get a Latin dance.Ricky is a very good dancer and choreographer and will work well with the Pocket Rocket.

However, he and Erin have a series of live shows at the Royal Albert Hall in the run up to Christmas so it probably makes more sense for the less busy pros to do the Xmas show.

Aliona with Matt Goss is an interesting one.

Aliona with anyone is interesting given many on here think she won't be back next year.

They didn't have to use Aliona for CIN, or the Xmas special. I wouldn't bet against her being back next year

Unless Natalie still out of action...

I think a lovely ballroom from Mattiona 2 would be lovely...

Even if Natalie is out of action they didn't have to use Aliona. Karen has been out of the contest for a couple of weeks. They could have got Katya back like they did last year, and many other options I'm sure.

Katya is in Hong Kong at the moment..... but yeah Karen could have done it...but think Aliona suits Matt better... Should be a good Christmas special ...
