Strictly Come Dancing 2023 rumoured pairings as fans predict partnerships

Strictly Come Dancing 2023 isn't far away and some fans think they have worked out who will be paired up with who when the stars take to the dancefloor.

The star-studded line-up has been revealed and includes well-known names such as Les Dennis, EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier, Love Island star Zara McDermott and Annabel Croft. It's not yet been confirmed which professional dancer will be mentoring each celebrity contestant.

However, some viewers think they already know which star is set to be paired with which professional dancer when they get on their dancing shoes in a bid to win the Glitterball trophy later this year. As we wait for the partnerships to be officially revealed, we take a look at all the rumoured pairings.

Zara McDermott is swapping reality TV for the dance floor as she was one of the first stars to be announced last - making history as the first Love Island star to ever take part and appear on Strictly Come Dancing. Fans now think that she is due to pair up with Graziano Di Prima.

As the news was announced that she'd be taking part, she took to her Instagram where she wrote: "STRICTLY 2023 LETS GO!!! I cannot thank you all enough… and I can’t even contain my excitement!!! I may burst!!!!! p.s. who do you think my dance partner is going to be? And I also wonder which dance I’m going to enjoy most?!"

One fan said: "I think you’re quite tall so maybe Graziano or Johannes (I adore them all!)." As a second agreed: "I think you'll love all the fast dances and be partnered with Graziano." A third added: "Zara & Graziano for me would be great they match height as well." Zara, who is in a relationship with Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, around 5’7, while Graziano is reported to be around 5’11.

Angela Rippon and Neil Jones

Some Strictly fans believe that Angela Rippon, who is set to become the show's oldest ever contestant, could be dancing alongside Neil Jones. One viewer took to social media to say: "I can see Neil with Angela Rippon, though with his baby due in autumn completely see why he wouldn’t get a partner." Another added: "Angela will definitely be partnered with Neil."

However, some think that he won't be paired up with a celebrity for the second year in a row as someone said: "I HOPE he isn't benched again, but the reason I put him there is because I don't know who they'd bench instead. With longtime pros like Anton, Oti, Aljaž and Janette no longer returning, I'd think the producers would want to keep the likes of Karen, Giovanni and Gorka for as long as possible so we certainly wouldn't be seeing them benched I'd think."
