I think Nadiya seems much older than Bobby - I know she's only 33 but she is pretty staid. He just seems really young and I think needs someone goofy too. Someone like Katya, who is a year older than Nadiya, has a much younger vibe. Maybe give him Lauren.
I totally see him with Lauren. She’s got the young vibe but a sensible head on her shoulders
 
Dianne would 100% take Bobby down the route of stupid themes. Despite his age, he strikes me as quite reserved, so I don't think he would enjoy having her at all.

And the height difference would give the Suggwell fan club their annual cause of complaint.

There are celebrities I can see Dianne with this year except for Bobby & Nigel, so no idea why those two seem the most frequent predictions for her.
 
I love a bit of Celebrity Masterchef and Dianne being on it this week is making me reconsider even watching it. I'll be fuming if she gets through the early stages and I have weeks of her. I can just about tolerate 10 minutes a week on Strictly. I'm sure she's lovely but she's too peppy for me 🤣🙈
Her and Joe Slugg surely just eat nuggets and smiley faces every night anyway.
 
Dianne can have Les Dennis or Jody Cunty. The people predicting her with Bobby (lol) or Nigel (please god no) are the handful of fans who have matching gopping red hair and arsenal of excuses for why nobody votes for her partnerships.

You've never seen her vlogs then, she survives on lettuce leaves and tupperwares of cabbage while trying to feed Sluggy up. Yet she'll tell any tabloid going she's recovered from an ED. It'll be interesting to see how she does on Masterchef as her cooking in vlogs looks truly terrible and she does it all with filthy nails.

I’d actually love the producers to choose violence and choose totally inappropriate couples.

Les and Dianne
Angela Rippon and Nikita
Bobby and Karen
Layton and Neil

Glorious.

Nikita hasn't been partnered with an older lady yet and he seems pretty charming, I suspect the nan vote would blow up if he gets our Ange...

As for Les and Dianne, I really feel this is feasible. He's not that tall, she's had mainly young men and she's probably the most wiling to do the schtick after Katya who frankly has done more schtick than one can shake a schtick at.

Bobby and Karen & Layton and Neil would be utter binfires though 🤣
 
Angela R & Nikita would be a disaster - he doesn't need to be a new AJ and could certainly work with someone around Amanda's age but there are limits and it would look like he was dancing with his grandmother if he got Angela R. Wouldn't make any sense to pair the youngest male pro with the oldest female ever.

I think someone like Bobby could really help her show more of her personality, the same wag Dan Walker did. People say Nadiya is boring but that’s only because most of her partners are weirdos or don’t last beyond week 5 😭 Janette & HRVY had a significant age difference and still did great

I was with you till the last bit. Janette is a hyperactive Disney Adult while Nadiya spends her time shopping for exquisite cashmere cardigans. They are very different!

But yeah - maybe Bobby will bring out her more fun side.
 
I know it’s the scum, but surprised they aren’t scrabbling for Layton

Nadiya strikes me as calm and centered, but also quite shy. Not one to scream or jump about, being all OTT. She's a little bit of tranquility, and I like that about her.
We are talking about a woman who was a playboy covergirl??? I don’t think she’s remotely shy! ( not putting that down, if you’ve got it flaunt it etc etc)
