Isn't it one male and one female pro who won't have a celeb?

I don't think there is a betting market for pairings. The only one I've ever seen has been for the outright winner. I tried to bet on a final 3 before and the bookie wouldn't accept it for some reason. Maybe it depends which one you go to what they will accept

You can place an e/w bet on them making the final, only some bookies do it I know sky bet do.

Oh right, thanks for this. I might give it a go

As far as I know you are correct but, with the new arrivals, Karen is considered a 'stalwart' now. There is no way she will be sitting out...unless of course, she is pregnant!!!

Another shot at the pairings on the understanding that it is Neil & Chloe who are sitting out.

Ore and Oti

Would they really give Anton a BBC presenter again (after last year)?

I'm not sure on peoples' heights, so just wildly guessing. Also I don't know which pros are going to be partnerless this year.

Laura Whitmore & either...Gorka/Aljaz
Daisy & either Brendan/Neil Jones.
Lousie & Giovanni/Pasha.
Claudia & Kevin.
Anastacia & Giovanni
Lesley & Anton.
Tameka & either Kevin/Pasha.
Naga & either Kevin/Pasha.

Greg & Nat.
Danny & either Oksana/Katya
Judge & either Oti/Katya.
Ore & Katya/Kevin.
Will & Joanne.
Melvin & either Joanne/Janette.
Ed Balls & ??? (can't think of who will end up with him)

Of all the lists posted since the complete lineup was announced, everyone has at least pairings correct, and the highest number of correct pairings is .

BIBs - an interesting selection to say the least Miriam...you are REALLY mixing it up!!!

Ed Balls & Karen??

I think it's already been confirmed but thanks to Telly Mix, without having seen any spoilers, it is Chloe and Neil without partners - find that a bit odd, would be better to be like Katya and Neil or Chloe and AJ

I've changed my mind again!

Thought 7 was the highest someone got? Can't see who got 8!

I'm afraid I didn't keep track of who had how many right - nothing more sophisticated than a load of tally marks on a piece of paper...

5/15

Probably the worst I've ever done...

Don't apply too much logic eg:

- Pasha won't get two BBC presenters (especially from the same programme)
- Kevin MUST get the duffer this year

BUT

- I WAS adamant (and correct) that Oti would not get a black contestant this year

I actually prefer your pairings jiroos. I agree with all of yours - except I'd have swapped Danny and Will around. Get a job with the BBC pronto!

I also got 5/15, calling it a third sounds better Been fun making predictions.

Having watched the show I love all the pairings bar Oti with Danny because she's so much fun but he seems to take himself very seriously and Will & Karen. Let him go Karen Absolutely loving Joanne with Ore though.

Brendan & Anastacia are going to be awesome and Laura & Giovanni had a good friendly chemistry so I'm looking forward to both those partnerships too.

Big hopes for Daisy & Aljaz.

Thanks wicks - sending my CV in as we speak!!!
