Shall we have a little game to pass the months until the new series Starts? Assuming there will be 16 celebrities, let's try and guess who the next batch of stars will be. There are no prizes obviiuslg, but when the line up is finally announced we can look back and see if any of us were correct with our guesses

I'll start:

Men:
Jamie Redknapp
AP McCoy (was rumoured last year)
Paul Hollywood (confessed recently he'd still like to do Strictly)
Tyger Drew-Honey (has been rumoured several times in the past)
Ryan Thomas (is leaving Corrie soon)
Dan Walker
Greg Rutherford
Richard Madley

Women:
Michelle Keegan (rumoured the past two years)
Ruth Langsford (another frequent rumour)
Sara Cox
Nadine Coyle
Louise Redknapp
Anastacia
Shona McGarty
Su Pollard

Admittedly some of these people are who I want to see rather than I think will actually appear, but I genuinely think Paul H and Ruth L are very strong bets. Also Sara's radio show has been moved to Friday's. Coincidence?

Su Pollard would be a shoe in for Anton

Yes! He can never have decent partner again. Fine for comic value, but give someone with potential to a pro that can actually do Latin!

There are other people I think are likely as well. Various Olympians, and I considered a member of All Saints but they are touring when Strictly is on, so that's not so likely anymore. I had a hard time narrowing that list.

It's a good list! I would love to see Sara Cox, she'd need a tall pro though. I wonder if any of the All Saints would think they're too cool for Strictly? I've wondered before if Annabelle Croft might do the show?

Sara would probably get Gleb or Alijaz, if she were to do it. She had Robin when she did the christmas special and he was too short for her.

I noticed All Saints were back in the public eye, but then I saw they were doing a tour in the Autumn which kind of rules them out.

Mary Berry would be a huge casting, but I think she's very popular and would probably
be in it for quite while. Regardless of ability. I kind of had Anastasia in my mind for Kevin, she looked very short stood next to Ant and Dec on SNT the other week.

Not a full lineup, but some guesses:

Male:

Tyger Drew-Honey (just so we can stop rumouring him indefinitely)
Alistair Appleton (please)
Greg Rutherford (at least 1 Olympian of each gender)

Female:

Louise Pentland (we have to have a YouTuber eventually)
Sara Cox (as others have said, her show moving is suspicious)
Monica Galetti (please)

Ben Shepherd is a fab guess! He's someone who I could really see doing it.

I like Ben, but he studied dance at university. He would be a bit of a ringer.

I hope either of his Good Morning Britain colleagues, Sean Fletcher or Alex Beresford, signs up though.

Yes yes yes! Dream team of Anastasia and Twiggy must make this the best line-up ever (if it was hypothetically true of course?)
