'The series 21 partnerships are as follows:

15: Amanda Abbington & Giovanni Pernice
14: Angela Rippon & Kai Widdrington
13: Layton Williams & Nikita Kuzmin.
12: Krishnan Guru Murphy & Lauren Oakley.
11: Eddie Kadi & Karen Hauer.
10: Angela Scanlon & Carlos Gu.
9: Zara McDermott & Grazio Di Prima
8: Adam Thomas & Luba Mushtuk.
7: Nikita Kanda & Gorka Marquez.
6: Jody Cundy & Jowita Przytal
5: Ellie Leach & Vito Coppola.
4: Bobby Brazier & Dianne Buswell.
3: Nigel Harman & Katya Jones.
2: Annabel Croft & Johannes Radebe.
1: Les Dennis & Nancy Xu.

I’m pretty certain these are all correct, the ones I’m slightly doubting from memory are Adam and Bobby’s partners (especially taking height into account) but even so I think they’re right as listed.

Meaning Neil Jones, Michelle Tsiakkas and, new to the bench, Nadiya Bychkova are without partners this year!'

I'm excited by some of these, interested by Layton and Nikita especially and I think Angela and Kai are going to do some lovely ballroom. I know Dianne isn't a favourite on here, I personally like her, but I'm confused as to why she was paired with Bobby. She's had a few similar contestants before and while I'm happy for Lauren that she got a partner I feel like it would have made more sense to pair Dianne with someone like Krishnan and Nadiya with Bobby. Actually confused as to how Nadiya ended up benched.
 
Some interesting pairings here...

Was not expecting Layton and Nikita but I'm here for it.
Luba off the bench and Nadiya on it whaattt?
Giving Dianne yet another tall guy when she blamed basically every criticism she got with Tyler on their height difference 🥴 I had Bobby down as a potential winner, but I don't know now.
Nigel and Katya yes 🔥
Another good series for Carlos, probably minus the many dance-offs.
The oldest celeb again for Kai? 🧐

Has Katya ever won before? I know she's very marmite but I think she's an absolutely amazing choreographer and gets the best out of her partners even when they're shite so I'd love to see her win

Yes, Katya won with Joe McFadden when her choreo was absolute magic. I remember so many of her dances that year - the samba to Money from Cabaret from pure genius.

Why are they insisting that Dianne is going to happen. I’m going to start calling her Fetch.

Joe Slugg is paying them handsomely, it's the only explanation.
 
Can someone explain to me why we think Nigels a ringer? Like 100% get it with Layton and I even think he will out ringer Ashley Roberts but I hadn’t seen any indication that Nigel would be any better than anyone else?
 
Very interesting to see the pairings! This has crossed my mind recently and it's no reflection on Angela R, whatsoever, but I wonder are they lining up Kai as Anton Part 2. Obviously I know he partnered AJ first time around.

He has had a long award winning career in musical theatre - you can see clips of him tap dancing and doing other styles from various shows.
