Pasha would be too short for Denise surely?
Denise isn't terribly tall - about 5'8".?

I'm delighted Melvin will be in the Christmas show. Like the whole line up.

Great line up I really hope Gorka is one of pros and hope he dances with Frankie as they would make a brilliant pairing

I assume they will have a Christmas or pantomime theme?

"Classic Christmas movies", apparently.

And the above Sun article confuses Denise Lewis with Denise Richards, so we're off to a great start already.

I'm predicting Frankie or Pamela to win as they have both been in the final

I'd like Frankie to win but I can see Melvin getting sympathy votes.

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
But aren't Karen, Janette, Neil and Pasha doing the Children in Need special on the 18th November? Will they do that and the Christmas special?

Geth is a lovely man and "wuzrobbed" of second place because of "Mattgate"!
He certainly was. Look forward to seeing him in the ballroom again.

Possibly, I think some pros did both last year (Joanne and Brendan if I'm recalling correctly, which I might not be!)

Probably because that's filmed this week or next week. Idk when and there's no more available apart from Chloe. Remember Joanne did the CIN and Christmas special last year

I believe they filmed that this Saturday - there's lots of pictures of celebs and pros there

OK - so maybe they can do the Christmas special - but I do wonder if they would use Anton and maybe Brendan or even Giovanni instead of Pasha and Neil. When will be know the pairings?

I agree with the first part and to the second #Let it go, let it go, can't hold it back anymore, let it go, let it go, walk away and close the door, I don't care what they're going to say, let the storm rage....on, the cold never bothered me anyway#

Feel good to get that out.

BTW - Fun kids radio station had a birthday shout out to a seven year chap called Gethin. Any of you lot name your kid after the dude because I know there's another little chap named after his rival who'd be about eight now.

It is the second one for Gethin but he danced with Camilla. It was in the Strictly tour that he danced with Flavia.

He and Camilla danced a waltz and scored an impressive 40 from the judges, tying with Darren Gough who went on to win his second Christmas show glitter ball!

Well for the first time i won't be in a hurry to watch it on Christmas Day - no interest in any of them!
I have to agree, thought it was a poor line up to be honest.

Hope I'm proved wrong, I can see Frankie winning easily.

MELVIN......MELVIN......WTF no one had ever heard of him and no one voted for him.....why is he back.
Yeah how did he wrangle a place on the Xmas special, I don't think any celeb from the current series has ever been on the Christmas show as well!

Maybe they realised that how he left the show wasn't fair on him.

The current series' celebrities used to be on the Xmas special. Or at least some of them.

I will be watching just to get the chance to see Denise Lewis dance again. My favourite celebrity and I have watched from the beginning. It's all a matter of who you like I guess, I didn't watch it last year as the line up didn't appeal to me.

I don't really like the Christmas special. Usually record it and jump through just to see the dance. Not a particularly exciting choice of dancers either. A bit disappointing really. Still interested to know who wins though. Any idea when it's recorded?

Is this the first time they've had former contestants on a Christmas special?
I'm not a fan of the Christmas day show normally because, as far as I remember, they have a load of randoms who, more often than not, don't have a lot of dancing ability and have had a couple of weeks learning a dance. Not really my cup of tea.
But this year we've got some really good ex contestants, a few of whom 'wuzrobbed' ( Frankie, Gethin, Denise ) so it should make for must-see Christmas telly.
Can't wait!
