Thanks very much for the spoilers Fern - very interesting!

I reckon Ainsley will be a dark horse. Antony could be decent, Otlile seems quite fiery so could be interesting to watch if they go down the "sexy" route (read; they probably will). Pasha, Kristina and Karen probably the first three pros out, after last year's romp to the final.

Thanks for the spoilers.

Brilliant!! Daniel and kristina 😄😄😄😄

My only hope is that Ainsley has done social dancing

Full List

Georgia May Foote & Giovanni Pernice
Kirsty Gallacher & Brendan Cole
Helen George& Aljaz Skorjenc
Jamelia & Tristan MacManus
Ainsley Harriot & Natalie Lowe
Iwan Thomas & Ola Jordan
Jay McGuiness & Aliona Vilani
Jeremy Vine & Karen Hauer
Anthony Ogogo & Otlile Mabuse
Katie Derham & Anton Du Beke
Carol Kirkwood & Pasha Kovalev
Daniel O'Donnell & Kristina Rihanoff
Peter Andre & Janette Manrara
Anita Rani & Gleb Savchenko
Kellie Bright & Kevin Clifton

There's a red-carpet photo of Giovanni with Anton and I estimate Giovanni is about 5'8 or 5'9, more likely the latter.

Oh and THANK YOU SO MUCH FERN for the spoilers. You're wonderful !!!

I really like the pairing of Jay and Aliona - but I feel so sorry for Tristan being paired with Jamelia. Thanks for the spoiler Fern

I literally can't wait to see her face!

Thanks fern!

I think they will be ok. He looked like he could move his hips in the clips and he is used to performing. Natalie is a great teacher, they will be there for a good few weeks.

Thank you so much for the spoilers! Some interesting pairings there - should be a fun series.

Aliona's reaction will be interesting - I bet she'll be startled at then overjoyed at getting Jay......she was probably bracing herself for Daniel lol.....Aliona fans will no doubt be rejoicing after all this time....

Thanks Fern

Only 4 of my guesses were right.

Some interesting pairings so I might have to put a new bet on the first out.

Pleased with Helen & Aljaz though. Height & build wise they will make a lovely couple.

I'm a very happy Aliona fan right now - feel sorry for Tristan though - I can't stand Jamelia at all!!!

From Hayley

I was hoping Katie would get Pasha but I guess at least with Anton she'll do some nice ballroom and whatever we think of him he is popular so at hopefully she'll have good run with him.

Also, just to add, thanks for the spoiler; Aliona's curse being broken just about makes up for Katie getting the same treatment as Widdy, Nancy, and Judy (chanting in head: Laila, Laila, Laila).

Tristan and Jamelia is a good match. I think he'll handle her well.

Wish Kirsty had been with Gleb, but Anita and Gleb is a good combo too.

Aliona and Jay! Hooray!

Thanks for the spoiler fern!

They'll be brilliant

Oh I think if anyone can charm and handle Jamelia it's Tristan - hopefully as well teaching her to dance he'll make her more likeable as well

I hope so - but we will have to wait and see

From Hayley

I was rooting for Kirsty all the way till now! I can't stand Brendan ...such a shame she got partnered with Brendan and not the hot GLEB! It would've been more appropriate if Brendan got Anita and Gleb got Kirsty!


And hopefully with Carol as a partner..Pasha will be an early boot! Whenever he opens his mouth/smile..i feel like puking seeing his teeth!

So rooting for Helen-Aljaz, Jamelia-Tristan, Kellie-Kevin, Anita-Gleb, Georgia-Giovanni so far!

I'm really pleased for Aliona think they will be my favourite couple. Brendan will be grinning from ear to ear tonight. Janette will also be chuffed with Peter.

Mine too! I hope Aljaz becomes the first strictly pro to win twice! He's such a nice and HOT guy.. Liking Helen too...

There's a chance that, based on the Red Button coverage, she'll be Anton's most party-dance inclined partner ever, so maybe he'll draft in some Latin choreographers.
