Tonight we find out which celebrity dances with which pro, unless you've either looked in the spoiler thread or read the Daily Mirror. Inbetween that, all this:

The Strictly Express will literally be rolling onto the red carpet as this year’s line-up do the locomotion into the Strictly ballroom. The celebrity contestants’ journey towards the famous Glitter Ball Trophy then begins, as they discover which professional dancer they will be paired with. The celebrities and professionals will also take to the dancefloor together for the very first time for an eye-catching group performance.

The legendary judging panel of Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood will all be back once more as Strictly’s fabulous four get their first sneak peek of the class of 2015 on the dancefloor - although tonight they will be leaving their scoring paddles at home.

2014’s reigning champions Caroline Flack and Pasha Kovalev will return to the Strictly ballroom for one final performance and perform their scintillating semi-final salsa to Maria by Ricky Martin.

Plus there will be exciting musical performances from Jess Glynne and Gregory Porter as Strictly Come Dancing 2015 sets off in style.
Happy launch day!

I know the pairings but oddly enough I think it will make it more interesting . Or at least different . I can't wait now . Dreading the long break till the first dance though . I need to know how they are all getting on in training .

I will post the '5 Thoughts' thread after the show. I have avoided looking at the spoilers although an hour ago I stumbled across a headline which I rather not have seen but it didn't give anything major away - just ruled out one possibility pairing. I have got my Strictly snacks all ready (mmm Guylian!) Hope everyone enjoys the show.

Off we go again for another comprehensive ratings win for Strictly

Looking forward to seeing who gets who this year, who will get the 'not fair they have previous experience' tag and also the 'joke act' tag as in the one who just can't dance but will knock out people's favourites along the way

I always enjoy watching when I already know who is with who, or is that whom ! and I find it more interesting because I can concentrate on watching the pro who is about to be picked

Evening all. God, I'm so excited for tonight - I'm hoping that, with the cast we've got, this could be one of the best series yet. I'm also really hoping that knowing all the partnerships (thanks to the muppets at the Daily Fail ) won't ruin my enjoyment of the show!

Oh, and it'll be fantastic to see Caroline & Pasha back. Although...

I already know the pairings but, like Amethyzt I enjoy looking at the expression on the pro's face as they are each given their celeb.

I'm not watching tonight - elderly father in law with us who doesn't like it - so recording to watch when I have the house to myself tomorrow evening. Yay!

Evening all, that's me all ready for tonight's show, pj's on and glass of wine poured I know all the pairing's last year was the first time I watched knowing and I enjoyed it more just watching their expressions rather than slightly stressing over who has who plus since I found this forum I'm far too nosey, I doubt I,ll be able to stay away from the spoiler thread on a Saturday night this year.

Happy launch day!
The mirror is the paper I like to get and I'm very angry with them for revealing the pairings.

Good evening everyone.

I hope that doesn't happen. Darcey, and Len to a certain extent, were disgraceful with their favourites last year.

I agree with you all . I never thought I'd say this , but I think knowing already gives me the opportunity to focus on other things . I won't be frantically looking for clues like I usually do so I'll be able to 'look around' more .

As much as I have tried to restrain myself from the spoiler thread, I just couldn't.

And there will be no doubt that I will be looking at the spoiler threads on a Saturday night or Sunday morning for the next 13 weeks or so from when it starts!

Joanne Clifton favourited one of my tweets, well pleased with that

She will be missed in terms of competing for the Glitterball this year

And you should be pleased with that richie, as it's not often a professional dancer favourites a DS members tweets. Congratulations for you.

I agree, I will miss her competing in the main show.

Hmmm somehow my DS account isn't linking to my current Twitter account which has being fixed by me. Also well done on getting the tweet off one of the ex dancers.
