Very simple - their actual partners.

I wouldn't want there to be a switch-up week, I think it's a completely pointless idea!

No switch-up week, but if there was one I would like to see pros with contenders get duffers and those with duffers get contenders. Swapping like for like is pointless.

Agree: non starter.

I think it's quite a cool idea actually, better than many of the existing theme weeks! People get very wedded to particular partnerships during the show, but for a single week a lot of the celebs could probably benefit from being taught by someone with a different approach, different strengths etc.

The main reason why I think it probably wouldn't work is because it would give the pros weird incentives - if they know they're going back to their usual partners the following week then they don't necessarily want to help their rivals improve, potentially at the expense of knocking their own partnership out.

You've missed out Helen and Gleb, so presumably Helen and er Gleb. Which would be quite interesting actually.

I often think that it would be fascinating to see how different personalities and styles would work with a different partner, but one week would not be enough time to really test that and besides it would break the momentum of the proper partnerships. But it could be fascinating. In some cases...

TBH much as I'd like to see Jeremy and Natalie take to the floor I have no desire to see Carol walking around and smiling as Giovanni dances.

I like the partnerships Strictly has, and don't wish to see ideas borrowed from DWTS, who are gearing towards flashy and drama more than the celebs learning to dance.

I've always said I would like the idea of a partner switch week but not until later in series (say final 7/8)

I'd rather see them dance with each other later on in the competition (i.e. no pros) maybe with the same dance demonstrated by 2 pro dancers beforehand.
