Christmas Special Line-Up Revealed

The line-up for the Strictly Christmas special was revealed today. This year, all the participants are people who are no strangers to the dancefloor.

Series 11 winner Abbey Clancy with Brendan Cole

Alison Hammond (Series 12) with Robin Windsor

People's Strictly winner Cassidy Little with Natalie Lowe

Series 9 winner Harry Judd with Joanne Clifton

Series 6 finalist Lisa Snowdon with Pasha Kovalev

Series 6 winner Tom Chambers with Oti Mabuse

I am very excited by much of this. It's interesting that only Cassidy is dancing with his original partner. I would have loved to have seen Lisa back with Brendan.

I like the combination of Alison & Robin. It's great to have Robin back, and I think he and Alison will be heaps of fun.

I really loved what Oti did this year, and it'll be great to see what she can do with musical theatre star Tom.

Sit Bruce will be joining Tess for what has become a Christmas Day tradition. At least in my house.
