Strictly fans 'work out' who stars are paired with and predict huge blow for pro dancer

ok.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing fans have predicted a blow for professional dancer Neil Jones, as they suggest he may find himself without a celebrity partner for the second year in a row.

Following the announcement of this year's star-studded lineup, which includes ex-Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas, former Love Islander Zara McDermott, and broadcaster Angela Scanlon, fans have shared their predicted pairings, with many predicting that Neil will miss out once again.

Posting to Reddit, one superfan shared their predictions, which they finished with: "Leaving Neil, Lauren & Michelle on the bench." Others agreed with this prediction, although some did suggest a potential pairing, with one commenter replying: "I can see Neil with Angela Rippon, though with his baby due in autumn completely see why he wouldn’t get a partner." And a third shared that while they think Neil will be without a partner they hope this won't be the case, writing: "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." Fans have also suggested that Neil may have even requested to be without a partner this year, with his baby with fiancée Chyna Mills being due in the coming months.

Chyna shot to fame when she appeared on Love Island, and although she didn't find love on the show, she did find the man of her dreams in dancer, within mere weeks of leaving the show.
