In last night’s launch show of Strictly Come Dancing 2011, we finally saw the celebrities take to the dance-floor for the first time, in a big group dance number. This was followed be them all being paired up with their professional dance partners.
Tensions were high and they were clearly all nervous to see who they’d been coupled with – but most managed to keep the disappointment from their faces… apart from Lulu, who walked away from Brendan Cole, waving her arms and saying: “No, no, no!”
This didn’t seem to bother Brendan too much though, as he just picked her up, chucked her over his shoulder and walked up the stairs with her dangling behind him.
Here’s the full list of contestants and their professional dance partners:
Robbie Savage and Ola Jordan
Dan Lobb and Katya Virshilas
Harry Judd and Aliona Vilani
Anita Dobson and Robin Windsor
Chelsee Healey and Pasha Kovalev
Lulu and Brendan Cole
Russell Grant and Flavia Cacace
Audley Harrison and Natalie Lowe
Rory Bremner and Erin Boag
Jason Donovan and Kristina Rihanoff
Nancy Dell'Olio and Anton du Beke
Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev
Edwina Currie and Vincent Simone
Alex Jones and James Jordan
