I always enjoy when a celebrity and a pro form what seems to be a real friendship. It adds something extra to the dances, because they're genuinely having fun dancing with each other. This year I think Kellie & Kevin are having a great time, I also think Anita & Gleb get on really well.

On the other hand, there are always some partnerships that don't really work (Lulu & Brendan...). I'm thinking maybe Tristan & Jamelia this year?

What do you guys are the best/worst partnerships?

Ainsley and Natalie seem to get on really well. Jeremy and Karen also seem to be a strange but great partnership.

Best : jay and Aliona hands down. ...electrifying chemistry.

All of the couples get along so well this year imo but if I have to choose worst ( aka I don't really see much chemistry ) then it will be Kirsty and Brendan and Helen and Aljaz.

Brendan seems to have had 'issues' with most of his partners: Sarah Manners, Claire King, Fiona Phillips, Bloody Lulu, Sunetra, Pendledrama, Kelly Brook.

That poor man really has been very very unlucky to come up against so many personality clashes. Unless ...

Well, my all time favourite is Ramps and Karen. Anton and Judy quite clearly got on really well and were a joy to watch because of it.

Too be honest I don't see an issue with Kirsty and Brendan. In fact I don't see an issue with any of them it seems a very well matched year.

Some of them get on particularly well, Jeremy and Karen, Anthony & Oti & Gleb & Anita spring to mind but as far as I can see they all get on.

In fairness, he never had any problems getting on with Kelly, and in most of those cases he only realised they hated him after the series finished (lol Brenda)

Well if Jamelia and Tristan don't get on it will be quite funny considering she made a thing about not wanting somebody ( who we don't know but possibly Brendan) and got so exited when Tristan's name was called out.

I haven't been a real fan of Karen since she started in 2012 but this year with Jeremy, I love her! Their partnership is genius, one of my favourite couples!

Other favourite partnerships of mine are Kellie/Kevin, Katie/Anton, Carol/Pasha, Ainsley/Natalie and Jay/Aliona.

The only couple I see as perhaps a little awkward, or not so close is Kirsty & Brendan. I think if you're a partner of Brendan's and you're not as good as expected.. you're done for

Good: Jeremy and Karen, Kellie and Kevin, Anthony and Oti, Katie and Anton, Pete and Janette, Georgia and Giovanni, Jay and Aliona , Anita and Gleb (though I think it's more Anita than Gleb)

Neutral: Brendan and Kirsty, Ainsley and Natalie, Carol and Pasha, Helen and Alijaz

For pure obvious friendship, I loved Chris and Ola and Mark Benton and Iveta.

This year I'm enjoying most of the couples but particularly Jeremy/Karen and Natalie/Ainsley...although those two seem to have the knack of getting on with almost all of their partners.

Up until last week I had been firmly convinced that Brenda was in awe of Kelly and possibly a teeny bit in love with her. But then this (probably very thoroughly researched and highly accurate) DS article suggested otherwise:

I mean, it lists Anton and Judy as hating one another it's not the most well-researched article in the world.

And yet, Brendan got on very well with Jo Wood, and was very supportive towards her. He was also very protective of her when the judges were being rather scathing about her dancing.

From this years selection, Iwan and Ola is the only bad pairing that really stood out for me. Definitely no love lost there.

Best

- Helen & Aljaz
- Ainsley & Natalie
- Jeremy & Karen



Worst

- Giovanni & Georgia
- Tristan & Jamelia


With some of the others it's more difficult to see, also depends on how the reaction to a bad dance will be (Katie & Anton for instance).

Brendan & Kirsty would be an easy one to call "worst", but I think they are similar and therefore compatible at least.

With couples like Anita & Gleb and Kellie & Kevin it seems more like trying to be in sync with eachother for a common goal then really great partnership/friendship.

And Jay is still a bit scared of Aliona
