Also her boyfriend/professional partner was listed at 180cm (about 5'11) and she doesn't look 10" shorter than him .

I think she's about 5' 5 or 5'6 .”

Mystery solved!

Thanks for clearing that up.

Well, it's kind of you to say, but I fear I 've only added to the confusion!

Gleb is 185cm or 6'1. I haven't been able to find Giovanni's (my guess is, he's about Anton's height, going by photos).

Some more info.

Otlile looks like she might be slightly taller than Aliona - who is 5' 5".

So who to partner Peter with?

Just my opinion. I think they will want Peter to get to the final, and might want a male winner this year.

Natalie - no on height.

Otlile - yes apart from the height issue ( If they are 5' 8" and 5' 7" without heels). They tend to give a new girl a good start.

Aliona and Ola could both be good with him but may be avoided because they have already won and it seems to be a policy to never win twice.

Joanne - The 'new girl' rule is in her favour, she is a good height. More of a Ballroom dancer than Latin and there was mention of her not being great at choreography. We also don't know how good she is at teaching. She is a World Champion Ballroom dancer and has a quirky character, and she should be given a chance with someone with potential. Last year was a mission impossible.

Karen - maybe. For - she has lots of personality and is a bit zany, works hard for her celeb. Against - doesn't have a Ballroom or Latin background, which makes it more difficult to teach and choreograph. Has had someone with potential in Nicky, and maybe Mark.

Kristina - maybe. For - She did a good job with Jason, who is similar, so she is well capable of getting Peter to the final. Against - she has had a few contenders before.

Janette - maybe. For - Great personality. Gets on with everyone. Works very hard. Very good at working with a celeb. Against - doesn't have a Ballroom or Latin background, which makes it more difficult to teach and choreograph.

I can't see an obvious choice.

The safe choice is Kristina, but I think it is probably between Joanne and Janette.

Loving the fact there is speculation as to heights even before pairings

Peter Andre - he's been heavily rumoured in the media and on the BBC strictly blog they released his name by mistake but they've since taken it out.

What I would like or makes sense height wise:
Jeremy: Natalie o Aliona
Aisnley: Otile (if she is on the taller side) or Natalie
Keller: Kevin or Pasha
Georgia: Gleb or Giovanni
Katie: Brendan or Anton
Carol: Anton or Brendan

I would love:

Alijaz: a non contender middle of the road, but not a no chance.
Anton: older lady (as per usual)
Brendan: I would love to see him with a really large lady!
Giovanni: a contender on paper
Gleb: a contender on paper
Kevin: a non contender!
Pasha: an old large no chance in a million years!
Tristan: a contender!

Aliona: a dark horse or contender
Janette: ?
Joanne: an elegant and dignified middle of the road (not someone who is good at Latin)
Karen: Middle of the road
Kristina: a no hoper single 100 years old man
Natalie: a dark horse or contender
Ola: a no hoper
Otile: a contender
