    I'm not surprised about Graziano, I don't think he was particularly popular last year and didn't he get a lot of flack for his choreography for Vic? I must say I'm very surprised about Gorka though, I thought he would have been one of the more popular male pro's. Does that mean there is a new male pro, or will a second pro be bumped up from the group dances?

    I'd like to have seen Graziano get another chance, I think he was a bit all over the place with choreography last year. I'm sure he will be partnered up in the future though.

    I wonder was Gorka's choice his own, he has a newborn and had back problems recently. He might be glad of the break.

    There's 7 spots for the male pros
    Aj, Aljaz, Anton, Giovanni, Johannas, Kevin & Neil

    I saw someone on twitter make a comment that the pros are more well known than most of the celebs, seems true, maybe not outside of Strictly fans though :D

    I thought Kevin had retired last year?

    Is there one less celeb this year then? Because there should be three replacements needed (Pasha, Graziano, Gorka) and only two new/promoted dancers (Neil/Johannas) or is there a new dancer that I've missed?

    15 celebs again, more men than women celebs this year.

    There's a new female pro

    Only 7 men needed as only 7 female pros.

    No pro is ever guaranteed a celeb partner so I don’t know what the big deal is. Of course the media like blowing it up that somethings wrong. But i’m guessing it’s the BBC liking a policy of any news is news to get the ratings.

    Looking toward to Johannes and Neil getting partners. Both are phenomenal dancers. Will be looking forward to seeing Gorka in the pro routines.

    Artem didn’t get his DWTS contract renewed this year. He was a great dancer. I didn’t give him enough credit when he was on Strictly.

    Jamie Lang has had to pull out due to injury. Has this ever happened before the show started before? Wonder if they will have a substitute for him?

    Apparently his partner was
    .......Oti......
    Will be disappointing if she doesn't get a replacement partner.

    For the first time ever, I actually know all the pairings already. Someone slightly adjacent to the danceworld showed me a Facebook post. I knew they pre-recorded the launch show.

    I doubt X will get a new partner - it would put that new contestant at a disadvantage. Either they'll have a week later on with no elimination or they'll start a week later.

    They haven’t been practicing with their partners as of yet anyway. Only the group dance which isn’t very good anyway. Nobody will have an advantage at this stage.


    Tess has announced she’ll hear who the replacement is tomorrow and the public soon after. They seemingly always have a male and female on reserve. Last year the reserve was Mike Bushell for the men :)

    Delighted he has someone nice to dance with this year , the poor man was nearly always paired off with someone who wasn't likely to stay in that long . Imo :)

    The sister was fab when the judges danced! Will be strange with her judging her though!

    Delighted to see Karen has a potential dud (with apologies to him if he turns out to be a champion, but I seriously doubt it).


    Mean of me, but there you are!

    Yes me too. Going by some of the comments on Facebook a few weeks ago she seems to have been really popular on the german one. I'll miss Darcey though.

    Relieved about Oti!
