If Lisa and Brendan are in the final 3 this year (and I suspect they might just be) who will get lumbered....sorry....I mean who will have the honour of dancing with Kelly Brook in the Xmas special.

The Xmas special is being recorded on 15th December apparantly so they should really be getting routines sorted. So how about speculation. On ITT yesterday it was meant to be James and Brian doing the mid week report and suddenly changed to Ian and Brian, could this be because James has drawn the short straw or being punished for his outbursts by having to dance with KB ?

Or will it be Brian as he doesnt know her from Adam so he will not be too fussed.

I think Brian could be a good bet - is he tall enough to dance with Kelly?

With about 10 days to go, I'm sure she should already be practicing!

I suspect she will partner Brian......(please not James, I can't stand the man).

I have a sneaky suspicion it might be Brian too. Best choice really, completely unconnected with last years show and it will mean I will have someone to look forward to seeing, with the complete lack of Gethin.

Poor Brian was probably asked if he fancied a turkey for Christmas ... and said yes.

I suppose Matt will be in the mix?

Brian's not tall enough, is he?

Matt Cutler? He'll be dancing with Alesha won't he?

erm not sure If i am right but i have read that Brian is going home for a few days next week before the last show, so it may not be Brian . I think the info came off a poster that had read Mrs F blog. However I think that would be cool and a nice pairing if so.

Matthew Cutler? He'll be dancing with Alesha.

I think Kelly might be put with Ian. I wasnt a fan of hers but shes done a dancing video with Flavia is bound to be very good now as shes been training. I have a feeling she'll win it.

Are Jill and Darren doing the Xmas special?

I'm pretty sure she will still dance with Brendan as it pretty obvious Lisa and Brendan will be going home this sat as much as i hate to say that the only way Lisa and Brendan will get voted in over any of the other 3 no matter how great their waltz is, is by a miracle, which we know wont happen!

so i expect to see Kelly and Brendan together again

Who do we know that is definetly doing the xmas special so far?

Kelly
Alesha

Is there anyone else?

its been confirmed in a press release.
Jill, Alesha and Kelly are all doing it.
Then the final 3 celebs from this year are all confirmed too so it'll be six as usual.
Its going to be a good one as they are all great dancers.

I'd think Brian has enough on his plate with the Dancing with the stars tour? Doesn't it start on the 17th so surely he'd be back in the USA whenever he has time to reherse for that?
I'd lovvve to see him in the Christmas special ..but please don't let them lumber him with mrs shock am I wonderful fake smile herself

Ah, thanks So if Brendan & Lisa get through this week, it'll only be Kelly who might not be dancing with her original partner? I'm up to speed now

Its going to be a fanastic show!!

I suspect Lisa won't actually be in the Xmas special...they say top three, but it's never really the case. It ends up being three couples from the top four or five.

For instance, the first Xmas special was supposed to be the top three from each but Chris Parker and Julian Clary didn't do it. They had Martin Offiah who finished fourth (with Erin who also danced with Julian Clary in the second series) and Aled Jones, who also finished fourth.

its always the case as its filmed while the top 3 are still in the competiton. Last year they filmed it a week earlier hence why it was ALL the top 4.

Well you never know, It would entirely depend on who she is in the dance off with, I happen to think that as long as its not Austin she would go through, the judges seem to rate her at the moment and Brendan is making sure their Waltz is as perfect as it can be incase they are in the dance off.

But as an earlier poster pointed out, surely she'd be in training already, so I can't believe it's Brendan. I suppose if Lisa and Brendan go out this weekend, they'll have just over a week to train. Is that enough?

she might not be training yet. I doubt Alesha and matt have had any chance to train either.
If Brendan is out on saturday i reckon they'll dance together if not then she'll probably get someone else.

Yep, they are.

Who is KB?

Keep up! It's Kelly Brook!

I think it's being recorded on the 22nd December rather than the 15th
