If AJ needs help with choreographing routines he need go no further than asking his Dad.

Adrian Pritchard is a highly respected ex champion dancer, and is now a judge of prestigious dance events worldwide, who, with his wife Debbi, runs a school/studio.

Being brought up as he was in a learning atmosphere, AJ is probably quite able to choreograph routines himself. He has a brother, Curtis, who is also an good dancer.

He's just had his 23rd birthday - about the same age as Aljaz was when he first joined the show. But agree, he does look younger.

Sure, being partnered with certain celebs might get the pro noticed just because of who the partner is, but if they don't get on and the pro finds the celeb hard to choreograph for or work alongside because they're a so called duffer, then it's not always desirable for a Pro no matter if their high profile celeb can rub some more noteriety onto them. If Katya and Ed didn't get on, which I def think looks to be the opposite, then they prob wouldn't last long and her profile get a short stint because it's hard for celebs and pros to fake chemistry (as we've seen all too clearly with past partnerships). I think Katya and Ed genuinely seem to get on, which is all the more helpful for Katya and she seems to be thriving (choreography wise) just because there is a trust and likness there. When pros and celebs don't get on, the ease of the dancing feels like less.

Kristina didn't even know who John S was profile wise (remember him saying he over-egged the CV to Kristina and she just presuming it true because she didn't know otherwise), but luckily for both of them they genuinely got on too and so their dances were at times hilarious because the trust and likeness was there too do certain things in the dance. Plenty of pros and celebs haven't got on, so when they don't like each other it tends to translate through the dancing (like with Brendan and Lulu, they were not seeing eye to ey dance wise or personally either, and I get the impression a younger Brendan Cole who was more vocal in the early days of Strictly might have made it even more obvious back then. In this case a few more mature years on he just tries to grind through the show and then post it in minimal words say she was a nightmare).

I agree that I think Katya would be good with any partner, or nearly any partner, as she just seems to be that type of person. She doesn't care that Ed is older (I got the impression Pros like Ola felt uncomfortable dancing with an older male to them, like a father daughter age difference) but Katya seems playful and happy with Ed and i think we're seeing this side of Ed partly because Katya is encouragomg him to feel free to venture outside of that alongside her.
