Coupling Complete!
It’s official – Strictly 2016 is GO!
After a truly epic launch, the stars of the show were over the moon to discover which professionals will be putting them through their paces.
So, who’s landed who? What are this year’s couples looking like? Let’s take a look at the definitive double acts of Strictly 2016…
- Louise Redknapp & Kevin Clifton
- Melvin Odoom & Janette Manrara
- Anastacia & Brendan Cole
- Greg Rutherford & Natalie Lowe
- Laura Whitmore & Giovanni Pernice
- Judge Rinder & Oksana Platero
- Naga Munchetty & Pasha Kovalev
- Danny Mac & Oti Mabuse
- Claudia Fragapane & AJ Pritchard
- Ore Oduba & Joanne Clifton
- Daisy Lowe & Aljaz Skorjanec
- Ed Balls & Katya Jones
- Lesley Joseph & Anton Du Beke
- Will Young & Karen Clifton
- Tameka Empson & Gorka Marquez
With pairings as perfect as those, it’s safe to say this series is going to be a good ‘un! But how did our Celebs and our Professionals feel once they were partnered off? Surprised? Delighted? Devastated? Watch below to get the immediate reaction from our brand new pairs…
So, now you’ve seen the pairs, what about their team names? ‘Brendastacia’ for Anastacia and Brendan, perhaps? ‘Team Tall’ for Greg and Natalie? Will Naga and Pasha or Ore and Joanne be fighting over ‘The Breakfast Club’ as their official nickname? We’re sure you can do much better than that, so leave your suggestions in the comments below. And keep an eye on the Strictly Facebook and Twitter for all the training shenanigans over the next few weeks!
