There's a picture on the BBC Strictly site and Leslie barely comes up to Antons chin. I hope she is wearing flats so that heels would make them more compatible height wise - other wise I can see the difference making it difficult for her to hold her arms in a comfortable position.
Just a thought re Anton & Leslie

I think the rumba is the only dance which is potentially problematic (the other dances certainly are not) but this is to a large extent due to the fact that Strictly judges go on about a rumba needing to be raunchy. It doesn't have to be that way. I guess some viewers might have a problem with any kind of rumba.
Edit: I guess the argentine tango might be problematic although I feel less qualified to comment on that. Not sure how well an AT would go down if it was choreographed in a more distant (open, social) embrace.
With regards to 'Handy Andys', no latin dance needs to be hands on. You can choreograph something in all latin dances that uses closed (in hold) positions and hand/hand connections.”

Weirdly enough the Argentine Tango, in real life, would be a dance where you would fully expect to see a huge disparity in ages between the couples dancing. No one would turn a hair to see middle aged matrons dancing with young lotharios at a Milonga (or vice versa)

sounds spicy
Even the quite extraordinary amount of bling on Anton's costume tonight cannot distract from Lesley's awkwardness, which is a shame as she seems lovely. Still, it's about the dancing.....
