Well, there is so much discussion about the new series, I thought this might be fun. Assuming it is the same format as the last few years, Guess the 6 former favourites who will take part in the Christmas special. My guesses are

Jay McGuinness
Simon Webbe
Jeremy Vine
Caroline Flack
Kimberley Walsh
Georgia May Foote

I love Christmas and I love Strictly but the Christmas Special leaves me cold. I'm not sure why - maybe because I know it's been filmed way in advance of Christmas. I would much rather have a special ITT after the final than the Christmas Special.

Sorry to not answer your question!

I can imagine:
Jeremy Vine- obligatory duffer who loved the experience
Likely Dance: Charleston
Ali Bastian- contender in Series 7
Likely Dance: American Smooth
Natalie Gumede: "best dancer ever according to statistics"
Likely Dance: Viennese Waltz (but could be anything as she was that good)
Caroline Flack: likeable, young, hip
Likely Dance: Samba or Cha Cha, maybe Jive or Charleston(def latin)
Jay McGuiness: that jive
Likely Dance: probs jive but small chance of rumba or even tango
Simon Webbe: typical boyband member
Likely Dance: Waltz or Foxtrot
Maybe: Jake Wood
Likely Dance: OBVIOUSLY PARTY LATIN

Hadn't heard about Kimberley's pregnancy so I'll switch her withDenise Van Outen.

Don't think we can guess the pros yet until the series starts (ie we know who is likely to be out early)

Jay will be in Dublin performing in Big The Musical at Christmas so it is unlikely he will get the time. Also would he want to dance with another pro?

Jay maybe. Also he said that he likes Oti so if he does it, he'll probably dance with her or Joanna.

I can also see Simon webbe, Anita , Georgia or Helen .

The problem is the standard of dance is so low straight after the final. It would be a great opportunity for the ringer contestants to compete

Possibly, depending when the start date is. They normally film the Christmas special late November so he might be able to do it before he starts in the show.

Also, both of last series has had most of the couples with new partners so that wouldn't be an issue.

Been that way for the last few years so can't see it changing now.

Denise is in Big: The Musical, so I guess that would rule her out.

Personally, I'd rather see celebs who aren't previous contestants.

bib: I know that.

Doesn't mean that they can't go back to its original format.

The original format of the Christmas show was former contestants, usually winners, including the current winner who was generally too knackered from having just completed the main series to make much of a showing in the Christmas special. Then they changed it to celebs who hadn't previously competed in Strictly, and a couple of years ago changed it back to the original former contestants format. Personally, I prefer the non-former contestants format. It's a good way for celebs who can't commit to doing a whole series, or perhaps can't cope with the rigours of it, to take part in Strictly.

Aliona could make an appearance at the Christmas special, just like Flavia did in 2013.

And see if her and Jay can get a 10 from Craig on air that'd be brilliant.

When they first did the Christmas special they had "celebs" who had not been former contestants, and because they only practised for a matter of days, the standard was so abysmal that it was difficult to watch. At least having former contestants, they have usually learnt enough to put on a decent show.
