I think Ote may be too tall for Ore I'm afraid.

I'd pair these two together. Providing he's good think they'll be ones to watch.

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.

He might not be too old BUT his dancing is not good enough

for anyone but a duffer

Melvin is 5'4 only feasible partner height wise is Janette.. Or is Oksana also small?
Ore and Natalie
Will and Joanne
Laura and Gorka
Ed and Karen

That's not necessarily who I want but who I think the producers will choose. Laura has already said she would like to find a husband out of strictly so I'm assuming she will go to the newbie hunk

Ed Balls - Oti Mabuse
Will Young - Natalie Lowe
Laura Whitmore - Neil Jones
Ore Oduba - Oksana Platero (the producers love a bit of aliteration but I don't think it will be Oti. They will not put her with another black contestant after Antony last year.

Melvin Odoom - Chloe Hewitt - Melvin is short by average standards and it appears Chloe is the shortest female pro.

Shorter than Jeanette? Because Jeanette is tiny.

She is...but after Peter last year, I think she will get a more "mature" gentleman this year.

Yes, but Peter was 42, not exactly a spring chicken and I suppose these days he appeals more to the mums than to the teenagers. Can't he count as the "not so young, not so old" one?

Jeanette never had anyone really young; Julian, Jake, and Peter, and Peter is the youngest of them all. I'd like to see her with someone younger than that.

Trying to find Oksana's height. Google is giving nothing up yet but I have found that her husband is 5"9' and looking at their wedding pics he is quite a bit taller than her, I would guess she is around 5"1-2

IIRC Gorka is married, or near as damnit, so she'll probably have to look elsewhere. Is AJ single? Maybe she can cougar him...

Or maybe Laura will hit on one of the single male celebs. She is a gorgeous woman

She is certainly exceptionally pretty. Other than the Gavin Henson/Tina O'Brien rumour (which I still refuse to believe), have any contestants ever hooked up as a result of Strictly?

He was a ringer, though and Jake was pretty good too, so after two good ones, she's due a duffer.

Oksana's short, about 5ft 2. Could partner Melvin.
