I am bit torn. I like Jay and his dancing is great to watch. I also think that it would be difficult to find that many celebrities who had never danced a step, that would be impossible - especially when you are bringing in actors/other stars.
Nobody just wants to see absolute beginners trundling around but equally though, I don't really want to watch a celeb who is already basically the finished article - sure you get great dances but where does it leave the show as a competition? I think the likes of Anita this year shows there can be a happy medium and that whilst people will have differing levels of experience, they can try to minimise those at either extreme.
Maybe I'm being daft but having only really just started watching Strictly, I like the competition element and am not only watching it to see great dancing, I want to see the celebs and see them get better.”

Good post...just for the record though, who do people seriously believe are the REAL 'absolute beginners' in this series?
My list reads carol,anthony,jeremy,ainsley and Iwan...maybe daniel too?? YOU decide!
