Robert Webb I think will be the dark horse here. He won the Comic Relief celebrity dance thingy with a routine that was superficially a comedy dance routine but when you looked at it carefully, he has rhythm and clearly can actually dance. Added to that, he is funny and a nice guy. He should do well.

I also really hope Adam Peaty does well, mostly because he seems like a nice, down to earth, likeable, hard working guy, but also because I love it when you get someone whose body is totally wrong for dancing but is unexpectedly brilliant (like Darren Gough, one of my all time favourite Strictly contestants!)
 
Looks like no partner for Luba whilst Neil is back in:

Strictly's Neil Jones to get a partner this year but Luba Mushtuk misses out

STRICTLY pro Neil Jones will get a celeb partner this year — while Luba Mushtuk misses out. Neil, 39, was left out in the cold last year after only his first coupling in 2019, with football star Al…

Guessing this is lucky day for Nancy since I can't see Jowita getting any of these guys.

I feel a bit sorry for Luba if this is case - especially given how tall most of the male celebs are this year. It. No surprises about Neil, but can't say I'm particularly excited about seeing him dance again

OMG....Robert Webb's performance of Flashdance was amazing 😍😍😍. If ever I feel a bit low I watch that! Sad, I know, but he will win. I'm calling it now 😁

I thought she was more likely to get a celeb than some of the others given she is fairly tall, however she hasn't had the best luck in previous pairings where as Neil got quite far with Alex. Someone was always going to miss out most likely so the newer pros could step in, I couldn't see it being Nancy again.
I'm sure there will be others benched aswell.
 
I think with Anton gone, that created space for Neil. I don't think he was getting a partner over the new guys (except for maybe Cameron who might get a year on the bench to start with for some seasoning).

Shame for Luba, must sting a bit if she got benched when there were so many tall celebs but it's likely as simple as TPTB giving her a try and deciding she wasn't right for them, a bit like with Chloe Hewitt a few years before (though Luba at least got partners). I don't think she'll be a main pro again. Not the first nor the last time it's happened.
