The Strictly Come Dancing pairings have finally been revealed as the celeb contestants open up on nerves and share their happiness as training gets well underway
The long-awaited moment finally arrived when Strictly Come Dancing fans found out who their favourite celebs were paired with as they battled it out on the dance floor in the opening show of the series.
After being paired, and asked by Claudia how happy she was, Amanda said: “I’m ecstatic, we get on really well, same sense of humour, and dedicated to working hard”. When asked about Amanda’s reaction to the reveal, her partner Giovanni replied “That was a reaction, I have to be honest…and also there was screaming that I enjoyed very much…very very happy days.”
Then we saw Jody Cundy CBE paired with reigning Strictly champion Jowita Przystał. When asked by Tess: “You are an eight time gold medal winning Paralympian. You started off swimming, then you made the switch to cycling so I’m thinking Strictly easy peasy for You?!” This will be Lauren’s first time having a celebrity partner and followed up with: “It might be the first time that I’m partnered with somebody, but I know it’s a big ask for the celebrities to go out there and dance. So I think I need to be kind and give you confidence to have fun, but when it’s time to be strict I know how to be strict, don’t worry about that!”.
Then it was over to Layton Williams, who was paired with Nikita Kuzmin and together they form this series' all-male pairing. Bobby said: “I am so pleased!” Dianne explained: “ I am so happy I have already adopted Bobby as my little brother, and I already care so much about him, I just want him to have the best time ever.”
