Hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly launched the new series of Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday and we want to know what you think of the new pairings.

Fifteen celebrities pair up with their professional dance partners and performed their first group dance.

Here's who will be dancing this year:

  • Joe McFadden with Katya Joes
  • Jonnie Peacock with Oti Mabuse
  • Brian Conley with Amy Dowden
  • Charlotte Hawkins with Brendan Cole
  • Mollie King with AJ Pritchard
  • Susan Calman with Kevin Clifton
  • Alexandra Burke with Gorka Marquez
  • Gemma Atkinson with Alijaz Skorjanec
  • Debbie McGee with Giovanni Pernice
  • Chizzy Akudolu with Pasha Kovalev

Susan from Top Class was very lucky because she got the partner that she wanted.

I think that Aston Merrygold and Janette Manrara will win because I love JLS.
