Not trying to sound mean or ageist here, but wouldn't he be a bit old for her?
Ainsley Harriot born 1957
Natalie Lowe born 1980
23 year gap

Anton Du Beke born 1966
Laura Whitmore born 1985
19 year gap

Conclusion: no Anton is not too old for Laura.

I don't think the PTB would "waste" a young, pretty woman on Anton TBH.

Aljaz is my fave male pro too but I would not want Laura with him - too much of a 'rinse and repeat' of Abbey.
That's my hesitation too. I predict Aljaz or Brendan for Laura though.

Katie got to the final with him, and has said many times how much she enjoyed herself, so how was this a waste?

Rude??

Did I miss something??

This all day long.

Don't you know its traditional to get on Anton's case for no reason at all?!

He's a rubbish teacher and cant dance Latin. They only got to the final because of TPTB wanting to have Anton in the final, not Anton taking Katie to the final.

Why would they WANT him in the Final?

He can't win - he gets a non-starter and he is dismissed as a joke...he gets a somewhat contender and he is dismissed in that he only got there because of this, that or the other.

Like him or not (and that's everyone's perogative), he is having the last laugh because, despite these constant criticisms,, he is STILL very much a fixture on one of the BBC's flagship shows.

Would that matter

However I think Kevin is due an "easier ride" this year.

WHAT?
He's been in the final 3 consecutive years. A year with a 'less gifted dancer' is deserved.

there has but it was 2 different Karens Hardy had mark Ramprakash and Hauer or Clfton now had mark Wright, They don't tend to give pros more than one person with the same name I noticed (only exception is Erin getting peter schemichal and Shilton) therefore I think you could be right regarding the Anton wont get another Lesley thing
