Couldn't Ainsley? He danced with Natalie didn't he? Although as I remember, Christmas partners are usually different anyway.
Natalie is still in the competition, and she could still be when they film the special.

Well for the first time i won't be in a hurry to watch it on Christmas Day - no interest in any of them!
😂😂😂😂.

Same . The only person that I remotely look forward to see is Frankie. I mean Pamela ? Ainsley ? Gethin ? ....

I guess they will be dancing with...
Melvin & Janette (obvious)
Ainsley & Karen (they danced together on the tour)
Gethin & Chloe (no other female pros and hope she gets someone)
Frankie & Gorka
Pamela & Neil
Denise & Pasha
That sounds good.

Would be great for Chloe to get a dance to show us what she really can do and claim a spot next year.

Six former Strictly celebrities will be taking to the floor for an all-star Christmas extravaganza on BBC One as the previous ballroom contestants return for a yuletide special filled with festive fun.

This year the leading ladies set to trip the light fantastic are:

Olympian and presenter, Denise Lewis (series 2)
Pop star, Frankie Bridge (series 12)
Writer and actress, Pamela Stephenson (series 8)

The gentlemen set to rock around the Christmas tree are:

Celebrity chef, Ainsley Harriott (series 13)
TV presenter, Gethin Jones (series 5)
Radio and TV host, Melvin Odoom (series 14)
Far better than I am a celebrity, We got the better Bridge, hope the grand parents are happy to baby sit.

To make amends for the Anastacia debacle ? Apart from Frankie I'm disappointed in the line-up, especially about Melvin, Ainsley and Pamela. Might not bother watching it

Must be some sort of payoff to him, never before has that years first evicted celeb got to then carry on and do the Christmas show.

I don't think they've ever had someone who left the first week any year on any of the Christmas shows either.

Don't think any of the current males available are really tall enough to dance with Denise. Ian could be back, think I'm right that he did the Xmas special last year.

Because he got screwed and was just unceremoniously dumped without a chance to redeem himself in the DO because Anastasia couldn't do it.

I have no illusions that he would have gone far, but the poor man really did get screwed out of a chance through no fault of his own.

I didnt know Karen had danced with Ainsley before, so that makes sense....

I would have thought Brendan or Neil with Denise, think she might be a bit too tall for Pasha

And I could see Pasha with Frankie, rather than Gorka

Pasha would be too short for Denise surely?

My guess is poor Anton will have to grapple with Dr Hamela.

I'd love to see Dr Hamela with AJ just for the sheer comedy value. I suspect she'll get Neil though.

I was really underwhelmed when they announced that line-up, in past years they've had a few champions and genuine 'favourites' but that is a poor selection. Melvin stands out like a sore thumb - so obviously done it to make up for the way he was treated!

Karen danced with Ainsley on the tour as Natalie was injured. I'd love to see Gorka back. I miss him

Really gladdening to hear that they have invited Melvin back, presumably to make amends after the way he was treated at the start of the series with that dance off scandal..

Agree. Whilst " within the rules" it wasn't fair to him.

I'm only interested in Denise, but as good as she will be I'm sure, there is no way I'm going to watch the rest especially Dr Prayer Hands Stevenson

Well personally I am delighted to see Gethin return and even more delighted to see Frankie Bridge return.
She was my favourite dancer in series 12 so I am really pleased to see her back.

I thought she should have won that year rather than Caroline.

I sseem to recall Craig thinking their dance was too horsey on chairs.

Who is going to be looking after Frankie's kids I wonder when she is training as her hubby is going into the jungle along, of course, with Ola.
