I don't think Kai is sexy. He's an elegant mover but looks too much like the bloke that did your nan's conservatory. He had ample opportunities to be sexy with Not How's Trish AJ given their fauxmance - I think in particular their couples choice was meant to be sexy but it just wasn't at all. He's a bit clinical. I can't describe it but I don't get much feeling from the way he moves.

I still think their argentine tango can’t be beaten. He was definitely hotter in that than the one he did on live tour with Michelle.

I just didn't get anything from them in that dance other than deliberately contrived chemistry personally - it felt like Showmance By Numbers.

I think I liked it at the time. Just rewatched and yes, agreed, particularly the fake nearly kiss at the end - desperately contrived.
I must admit I was one of the people who thought they might have been secretly having it off! Caught up in the drama!

So many people fell for it because admittedly, they played it well and Claudia didn't help matters practically insisting they kiss.

I believed it too from their dances at first but I think I only wised up to it watching them in interviews when it really looked like Kai found her a bit annoying and they had absolutely no spark there.

I liked their AT much more than their couple’s choice, but yes the end is a bit cringe. Their couples choice was really disappointing to me despite having a great song and AJ looking lovely, just felt disjointed and messy.

I don’t think it’s contrived actually, he does actually touch her lips and she opens her eyes in surprise. I think he was genuinely ‘in the moment’ ( in a dance way) and forgot where he was.
Anyway, I think they had great dance chemistry, whatever the status between them. It’s like his chemistry with Jojo, he thrives on positive energy.

He has a Tin Tin look about him.

He’s a good looking bloke imo but I agree you could see 100 of him in your local, nothing standout. I do think he’s more attractive than Gio and Graziano but the sleazy Italian vibe has never been for me so maybe that’s why. I find him and N extremely dull, but I think she’s the most bareable female pro, I’d take an interview of her over Dianne, Amy or janette any day

That isn’t to take away from Amy’s struggles and the extreme sadness she’s facing at the moment, I wish her very well. I just think before all of this she was a little much for me

My predictions are:

Nadiya and Les
Kai and Zara
Angela and Giovanni
Amanda and Grazianno
Layton and Johannes
Krishnan and Lauren
Eddie and Katya
Bobby and Dianne
Adam and Jowita
Nikita and Nikita
Gorka and Ellie
Jody and Karen

can’t think of who else is doing it or what pros are left so feel free to expand

You missed off Nigel and Les Dennis!

I'd put Nadiya/Luba with Bobby (he's 6ft2 and we've learned Dianne can't cope with the tall ones)


So reshuffling yours with the two extras in mind...

Nigel and Katya
Jody and Dianne
Les and Jowita
Eddie and Karen

Les was already on that list you quoted. His name was the first one on there

It was Annabel, Nigel (as you mentioned) and one of the Angela’s out of the celebrities who were missing from @lalalandx21 list
