Woo Hoo! I can't wait, only three sleeps to go until one of my favourite ever shows starts its 2012 run. The celebrities have been announced, the Glitter Ball polished, Bruce Forsythe has been woken from his nap, the judges have been unpacked from their sparkly boxes, Tess Daly has filled the freezer with frozen dinners for Vernon and the professional dancers are nervously anticipating who they will partner.
The Celebrities
Victoria Pendleton, Louis Smith, Colin Salmon, Denise Van Outen, Kimberly Walsh, Jerry Hall, Dani Harmer, Fern Britton, Johnny Ball, Lisa Riley, Michael Vaughan, Nicky Byrne, Richard Arnold, Sid Owen.
The Professional Dancers
Aliona Vilani, Anton Du Beke, Artem Chigvintsev, Brendan Cole, Erin Boag, Flavia Cacace, James Jordan, Karen Hauer, Kristina Rihanoff, Natalie Lowe, Ola Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Robin Windsor, Vincent Simone.
The big question now is who will be paired up with who? Will the new girl get a dud for her first season? Will Anton get a another comic turn?
Just for fun I've paired them up myself and we'll see how many I get right!
