I am now going to change some of my predictions now that I know we only have 15 celebrities taking part this year and Joanne will not have a celeb partner due to her new work on ITT!

This here is now my new predictions now we know Joanne will not have a celeb partner!

Jeremy & Janette
Ainsley & Aliona
Kellie & Kevin
Georgia & Giovanni
Katie & Pasha
Carol & Gleb
Peter & Karen
Daniel & Kristina
Anthony & Natalie
Jay & Ola
Anita & Aljaz
Jamelia & Tristan
Helen & Anton

Thanks

Since it seems certain that Kirsty and Iwan will be the last two announced tomorrow then these are my predictions:

Ainsley & Karen
Anthony & Natalie
Daniel & Kristina
Iwan & Aliona
Jay & Otilie
Jeremy & Ola
Peter & Janette

Anita & Pasha
Carol & Alijaz
Georgia & Giovaani
Helen & Tristan
Jamelia & Gleb
Katie & Anton
Kelly & Kevin
Kirsty & Brendan

I like yours but I'd swap Ola and Natalie, due to height and Ola having had a lot of athletes. Then I'd worry about Gleb not being able to handle Jamelia - so I'd give her to Brendan or Anton or maybe even Tristan (his first partner on DWTS had a difficult personality and it made for great tv - being Irish, he can be plucky when it's needed)

I know Kirsty Gallagher is taking part as one of the pro's (gleb I think) tweeted that she had been at the first group meeting today! Who is Iwan?

Iwan Thomas, 41, 6', a sprinter who represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the Olympics and Wales at the Commonwealth Games

From what I read Iwan is 6'2"

Who I would like...

Helen & Tristan
Carol & Anton
Jamelia & Brendan
Georgia & Giovanni
Kirsty & Gleb
Anita & Aljaz
Katie & Kevin
Kellie & Pasha

Peter & Kristina
Iwan & Natalie
Daniel & Ola
Anthony & Karen
Jay & Otlile
Jeremy & Janette
Ainsley & Aliona

What I think...

Helen & Tristan
Georgia & Giovanni
Carol & Anton
Kellie & Kevin
Kirsty & Gleb
Anita & Pasha
Katie & Aljaz
Jamelia & Brendan

Peter & Ola
Daniel & Kristina
Ainsley & Natalie
Anthony & Aliona
Jeremy & Janette
Jay & Otlile
Iwan & Karen

Thanks for correction! We've got 4 over 6 feet!! Pity it's usually harder for tall people to do Latin, as Len has pointed out a time or two

I would like :

Jay & Otilie
Jeremy & Kristina
Peter & Karen

-----------

Don't any of my selections will actually happen

Here's my predictions (Only guessing the female celebs).

Georgia - Aljaz
Kellie - Pasha
Anita - Kevin
Kirsty - Gleb
Jamelia - Giovanni
Helen - Tristan (Tristan deserves a contender for once in his lifetime atleast with whom he can have a fair shot at winning!!)
Carol - Anton
Katie - Brendan

Why do i have a bad feeling that Tristan might get partnered with Carol/Katie? I hope i'm wrong!

Jeremy & Otile
Ainsley & Karen
Kellie & Pasha
Georgia & Giovanni
Katie & Anton
Carol & Aljaz
Peter & Ola
Daniel & Kristina
Anthony & Natalie
Jay & Aiiona
Anita & Kevin
Jamelia & Brendan
Helen & Tristan
Kirsty & Gleb
Iwan & Janette

I really want him to get a young partner for a change, I mean on DWTS they constantly saddled him with oldies too.

Clearly an "Anton" in the making...

Having said that, I think he will get Helen this year...

EVERY freakin' time! When he headed for strictly, i thought he'll finally get a contender..but even on strictly he got the same kind! He deserves an contender for once and have a fair shot at winning! Hoping for HELEN..

I can get why pros like Anton (or Tony on DWTS) are paired up with the oldies... but i don't understand why Tristan -a young hot irish guy gets them? Makes no sense to ME!

Part fear part prediction - Peter Andre and Kristina Rihanoff

Both attention seeking
Both press baiting
Both divisive
Both lack morals
Kristina is like his ex wife Katie Price

It'll be awful but the way Louise Rainbow works I can definitely see this happening.

Probably because he possesses the patience of ten saints...

in other news, Giovanni sent a "well done" tweet to Georgia yesterday.

Predicted them as a couple weeks ago and I think it will happen...

This will not happen.

Peter will get Ola & Kristina will be put on the back-burner somewhat with Daniel.

Ola will not get the guy with the biggest social following, she's lucky to even be on the show stll. Ola will be getting Jeremy or Ainsley.
