I see the ultimate victory of the gorgeous pocket rocket Claudia as utterly inevitable.
Is anybody else with me

I'm definitely in the fan club I was very excited when they announced Claudia (love gymnastics) and I can't wait to see what she and AJ can do!

Very excited by this pairing!
How far will they go? I won't jinx them by making a prediction, but Olympic gymnasts have a very good record on Strictly!

Having just watched the red carpet event for the first time I find myself adoring Claudia. Love her west country twang. Her desire to do somersaults but not in heels! Think she's going to be good as well. I'm hoping AJ can put together some good choreography for her.

Their first dance must be something upbeat/ fast IMO

Looks like they're doing cha cha as their first dance

They're looking good/ like they get on well judging by the first steps video

Really enjoyed their First Steps VT. Claudia is lovely and picks up the choreography so quickly! AJ is a good teacher, think they'll be finalists.

I think so too and expect her to be the best of the females although standard ballroom holds may prove an issue as will going backwards in heels. I liked AJ from that snippet and think the young man may have a personality as well as a face that reminds me of Trent!

My thoughts exactly Maggie. Her height and the heels could trouble her but she looks great in training and has the advantage of having experience in remembering routines under pressure and selling a performance. I think she'll be a pleasure to watch and the two little pocket rockets make such a cute couple

And both have lovely faces and adorable accents.

I'm looking forward to watching Claudia. She is one of my favourite gymnasts and I hope her and AJ win.

I hope she's got the "I'm a gymnast, don't-you-know?" tag out of the way. From now on I would like to see her do real dancing, really well.

I think it was just to add some wow to the first dance and mix the safety of her being gymnast with the dance.

I think next week they'll go more traditional

Yes, I agree. I did love the back flip though
