I will happily endure virtual Anton for the festive period. I'm thinking a party-Latin fusion with some Jive thrown in for good measure.
Well he did ok with virtual Taraji on Previously, and even got 10s for Latin routines!

Other people's Latin routines but even so!

Fingers crossed for the partner reveal but there are so many guys in this, I think 9? 1 chance in 9 of getting Oksana. But 9 chances in 9 of getting someone hot.

Oksana in a drawer, nice image I've imagined Oksana in lots of places which I won't go into but never a drawer. Until now.

Ok, so its that time. That time where you find out who you will be working alongside to compete for the Christmas Glitter Bauble. Sorry, Glitter Ball. But as the title suggests, there wouldn't be much point without a couple of twists along the way But first things first. Let's see who's been drafted in to partner each contestants this series

2. Nick (winter99)

7. Queenie (dancingqueen)
8. Danny (Damahepa)
9. Jess (I've Got Class)

I will just point out that although I used random.org to decide on your partner pairings, I did my best to ensure nobody got lumbered with any one.......let's say......Antonesque. Bit with an obviously higher number of males taking part there was slightly less room to be picky for you guys

And finalising the line up is Mitch. Now as our last signing, I had already done the pairings before Mitch joined. And as all the current female pros this series had gone I allowed Mitch the option to either have a female pro from a previous series, or become the first DS same sex couple. No surprises for guessing which one he opted for. Dancing alongside you for the chance to lift the title is .....

So everyone has their partners at the ready. The details of the round will come very shortly along with one or two little surprises

Yay for Natalie, but if this was real life I would definitely need to be in platform shoes to be the right height! Very much looking forward to getting started!

So we have the line up and pairings complete. Might be an idea to get on with actually finding out what you've all got to do next

Couples

Callum (doctorwhofancal) & Katya Jones
Chris (captain_cherub) & Oti Mabuse
Danny (Damahepa) & Natalie Lowe
East (StrictlyEastend) & Janette Manrara
Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana Platero
Izzie (IzzieStar) & Gorka Marquez
Jess (I've Got Class) & Kevin Clifton
Mitch (pothuthic) & AJ Pritchard
Nick (winter99) & Joanne Clifton
Queenie (dancingqueen) & Aljaz Skorjanec
Riley (RileyHollyoaks) & Karen Clifton
Ross (Monsieur23) & Chloe Hewitt


For you to find out what you will be dancing you will all be asked to pick a number between 1 and 12. It will work on a first come first served basis (so nobody can pick the same number). Behind this number will reveal the dance style you have for your first dance. Here are the dances that were available......

American Smooth
Argentine Tango
Cha Cha Cha
Charleston
Foxtrot
Jive
Paso Doble
Quickstep
Rumba
Salsa
Samba
Tango
Viennese Waltz
Waltz


These dances were again placed into random.org to decipher which dance will sit behind each number. As there are only 12 of you but 14 dances, Argentine Tango and Samba didn't make the mix when they were randomised.

However........ And here's the first of the twists . All of you will get the opportunity to change your dance should you be unhappy with the selection you get. I'll explain how this works below..........

Should you decide that you really don't want the dance you get allocated you can opt to change your dance. But bare in mind, you can only do this once and once you've opted to go ahead, your original dance is lost and you can't go back and will have to accept your new dance.

So if you do opt to change your dance, how is your new dance decided? Well, the 14 dance styles which were listed above will be placed into random.org and you will be allowed to choose from the top three after the list has been randomised. So you do get a bit of freedom with what you choose. [Argentine Tango and Samba will be back in the mix for this selection]

I had a feeling he might be and hoped that feeling was right when I saw that he'd been picked for you
