Thankyou once again, these celebs will be emailed to SCD producers

Now all we have to do is wait untill the end of October/early November, and see who TPTB have chosen for this years SCD.

Did the results surprise you Aeryn

No not really,...I expected Richard Armitage at the top , did expected John Inverdale to be a bit more higher up the list,...oh well,.....

Steve Davis-I wish.....I'm a snooker fan and have followed Steve for years. He's great and would be a real character in SCD.

I'm partial to Mr Davis, I could see him in a tux doing the tango- with me preferably

ditto but would have liked to see david Tennant in the list too,mind you couldn't afford both of them

GRRRR - I pleaded for NO Lucy Benjamin. Grrrrrr

I want russell brand!!!

Can I just say that maybe the question was worded wrongly. I don't mind John Inverdale but put him low down as he was partnered with Lilia.
If it were just a list of celebrities (without dance partners), then my choices would have been different.

He would be fantastic. I hope he could be persuaded. I first had a crush on him in 1981 when I was 13 and he won the world championship.

I expected Ben Miller to be higher after that performance on The Worst Christmas of my Life

I did too!! Do you remember that lovely hair. As the years have gone on he's never become conceited or anything like that and is quite a character as when he commentates on snooker on the Beeb. I've seen him a few times at the Crucible over the years and stayed at the same hotel in Sheffield. He's such a gent.

Easy Tigers I saw him first. O.K I'll share him with you. He's doing the tango with me (I wish). What dance would you like to do with Mr Davis.

Arlene, forget it, or get to the back of the cue
