STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

The first three celebrities will be revealed on The One Show tonight!

'Karen deserves a shit hot dancer with a winning personality because she got the short straw last year'

Would LOVE for Karen to win. She's such a fabulous dancer

Oh God Sol thanks for the booping reminder

I'd like Karen to get a good partner too, and at least make it to the final, if not win.

Completely agree with all of this! Id love Karen to win - she's fab!

I suspect Karen and Kai will both get given a decent crack of the whip this year (hopefully) given Kai went out so early and Karen is due a decent partner.

I do hope Kai is also given a decent partner because he had bad luck with AJ.

I think the strong pros need good partners, otherwise the whole show is lacklustre. Still think Tyler could have done a lot better with a better pro.

I think I'd like to see Jowita with Layton. He won't win so she won't get two wins in a row, but we'd see some great dancing.

Jowita will be saddled with Les.

Layton's definitely with a man - and I think he's asked for someone who can lift him so I'm rooting for Kai. I think Jowita would be good with Les.

I used to sit next to Les Dennis at Tumbletots!

Oh, I forgot that.

I think Layton will be quite hard work for whoever gets him, so actually even Les would be a lucky escape for Jowita :)

Layton with Kai would be interesting as Kai doesn't strike me as someone to put up with stroppiness. And I think Layton is going to be very stroppy.
Hope it's not Graziano or he'll be reduced to a blubbering wreck in the first week.
Don't think it will be Gio or Nikita. Gorka would be at times funny at times tedious as it would quickly descend into the battle of the strops.
(Disclaimer: trying (mostly unsuccessfully 😂) to not read too much about it all before the off so don't actually know if all the usual male professionals are dancing.

Nancy might be due a dud so could get Les. Katya would make him cry.

Strictly ticket ballot link for anyone who wants to try, deadline is 10pm tomorrow night!

Let's give him Neil. Everyone's favourite :)

Thanks for the link for tickets @Gooseysgirl

I think Layton wants Johannes but should get Neil.

Neil isn't getting a celebrity partner again this year.

Thank goodness for that @ThePoshUns - he's annoying and definitely doesn't bring out the best in his partners.

How do you know that @ThePoshUns?

Wow, if you just saw the reception BobbyBrazier got when he won/ spoke at the NTA's he is looking like a winner already.

Well, let's see if he can dance. But he looks as if he ticks all the boxes for a favourite other than that.

If he can dance, then he's my winner!

I adore Bobby. He's such a lovely lad

I have heard it said he has no memory of his mother which is understandable but very sad

Pairing spoilers are out on Digital Spy if you can't wait/want to impress family members with your supernatural powers of prediction. Happy with some, disappointed with others, as per usual.
