Lilia & James, Darren & Kylie

DigitalSpy have asked pro dancers Darren & Lilia who their dream Strictly partners would be.

Lilia said: "Someone with personality as you spend all day everyday with someone you've never met before, so it's nice to have a personality - someone like James Corden would be great - and he seems a good mover too."

While Darren said: "Kylie Minogue! And it's not just because she can really move... it's a height thing, she's short, I'm short. But seriously, somebody who really wants to be there and wants to learn... it's very important that your partner is willing to put that time and energy into dancing."

The pair hope to hear soon if they have been selected to return for another series of Strictly. The couple said: "We don't know who the celebs will be, who the professionals are, the format or timing of the show. We normally find out in June."

Not long for the pros to wait now. It must be agonising. Especially as they could be missing out on other work by keeping their diaries open for Strictly, only to find their services are not required.
