As the 2016 series of Strictly Come Dancing is fast approaching and there have been a number of rumoured celebrities taking part in this year's series I was wondering if you had the power / were the producer who would you pick for this years line up? Please be realistic....

Mine would be:

Martine McCutcheon
Gary Linekar
Jacqueline Jossa
Dannii Minogue
Jamie Redknapp
Marvin Humes
Martin Kemp
Beverly Knight
Barbara Windsor
Joey Essex
Fearne Cotton
Larry Lamb
Lesley Joseph
Jamie Theakston
Andi Peters
Kerry Katona

What do YOU think?

I would add Judge rinder and I think he's probably in, Paul Hollywood, Mary berry, Sue and Mel. Ive wanted Ray Quinn for years, know it wouldn't happen though

In terms of wishlist, not predictions:

- Susie Dent (I know she has good legs, let's see them)

- Tyger Drew-Honey (if just so we can stop rumoring him)

- Kasper Schmeichel (LEICESTER F.C. and Peter Schmeichel from S4's son)

- Lorna Laidlaw (feel good contestant)

- Hermione Norris (I just like Wire In The Blood, ok)

- Jo Pavey (Olympic athlete, had a good story earlier on as an older European medalist)

- Crystal Yu (we always need a pretty young ringer)

Not happening this year, but I would love to see Jimmy Osmond do it in future. What a sweet, humble, self-effacing man.

Oh wasn't he just? Absolutely lovely guy. We thought he was going to be cheesy as when we first saw him on CBO but he ended up being our favourite by miles.

If Jamie Theakston did Strictly it would have to be Natalie as his partner as he is VERY tall!

I would absolutely adore Lorna to be on the show

Ryan Thomas
Lesley Joseph
Matt Johnson
Samantha Womack

Martin Kemp would be good from your list OP.

I would like:
Andrew Ridgeley
Michaela Strachan
Cheryl Baker or Jay Aston
BRIAN BLESSED
Joan Collins
Vivienne Westwood
Lara Pulver or Rupert Graves
Adam Hills or Greg Davies
The bitchy sugarbabe
Anthony Head
Glynis Barber

And Ray from DOI is looking incredibly buff at the moment...

Agreed - she would be fantastic!

Others on my wishlist

Joanna Lumley
Jane McDonald
Honor Blackman
Lindsey Coulson
Anne Charleston (excuse the pun!)
Sue Barker
Tameka Empson
Ruth Madoc
Floella Benjamin
June Sarpong

Jamie Redknapp
Ben Shephard (ringer alert!)
Lawrence Dallaglio
Peter Kay
Nigel Havers
Matt Johnson
James Cracknell
David Gandy
