My dream Strictly partnership would be Niall Horan dancing with Oti. They'd be to cute together. Really hoping for Niall to do strictly next year as 1d are taking a break and he's my favourite

Good question. I am going to be greedy and have two. Richard Armitage to dance with Joanne or Phillip Winchester with Natalie.

Not a great fan of 1D. But from what i have seen of Niall he comes across as a nice lad with a good personality.

Ian Waite and Zoe Ball are pretty close to my idea of a dream partnership

Mark Cavendish & Flavia. The dirty ringah to end all dirty ringahs

I wouldn't say no to Mark Cavendish but a shame he's too short for Natalie. On heights he'd end up with Janette or Ola, maybe Kristina at a push?

Carlos Acosta (as he is retiring from the National Ballet) to dance with Oti, so that she lasts for more than two weeks next time

Or Will Young with any of the dancers

Perrie edwards and Kevin clifton

Jeremy Sheffield ( Hollyoaks) and Jannette

Dan Howell & Oti Mabuse
Phil Lester & Natalie Lowe

Preferably in the same season, to see their fans (me included) completely disintegrate.

Eww, eww and eww. Although it might be nice to see what Kristina could actually do with a talented dancer. Mark is already better than Janette, so maybe he could teach her

Aliona and Boris Johnston.

Jessica Ennis-Hill and Vincent Simone

Pierce Brosnan and Flavia Cacace

Aliona Vilani with a young Elvis Presley

She's getting on a bit now and she's turned the show down in the past but she likes dancing, so Kirsty Wark and Pasha.

Idris Elba and Natalie (I'm guessing she'd be the best fit height wise)

Richard Armitage and Natalie Lowe.

I have an intuition that you may get that wish fulfilled.

Oh yes. I was thinking either Colin Firth or David Tennant (imagine those long arms and legs doing a jive?!) for Natalie but Idris Elba would be brilliant to see. Suranne Jones and Pasha, don't know why but I just have in my head she'd be a great dancer.

He was loving it on Saturday (oh SUNDAY sorry ) wasn't he? I've been to some of his concerts and he really can move.

Good call. Although as this is fantasy can we have a slightly earlier iteration of Pierce please?


Oh yes.

The Remington Steel era??

Your post just made me realized that we could possibly have a member of One direction in the future on the show .

That would amazing but not in a good way.
Can you imagine her cuddling him?

Me with Anton. I dream it regularly....

Yes that would do nicely.

Mostly so he stands a chance of lasting a while. Older men tend not to last beyond a few weeks unless they are really good or really bad and I have a feeling he would be neither.
