Strictly Come Dancing won\u2019t be cha cha chaing back onto our TV screens for a few more weeks, but we may already know who is dancing together. <\/p>\n
The celebrity line-up has been put through their paces in the rehearsal room, and even celebrated birthdays together.<\/p>\n
The next milestone on the Strictly journey is finding out who their professional partner is going to be. <\/p>\n
This is the person they\u2019ll spend every day with until they leave the competition, as they teach them how to master the art form. So yeah, it\u2019s pretty major!<\/p>\n
One aspect that is usually taken into consideration during the partnering process is height. <\/p>\n
The celebrities and their professional partners are often of similar stature, and in a lot of cases the male is slightly taller than their female partner. <\/p>\n
With that information in mind, we\u2019ve done a deep dive into their heights to figure out who could be with who on Strictly 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As the tallest male celebrity at 6\u20192 and the tallest professional female dancer at 5\u20198 it makes sense that these two may be put together. <\/p>\n
Nadiya, 33, who joined the show in 2017, has previously been partnered with many tall men including 6\u2032 Davood Ghadami and 6\u20196 Dan Walker.<\/p>\n
Bobby, 20, has put his tallness to good use in his career as a model and has even walked for Dolce and Gabbana. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, 5\u20197 Zara could have a few potential matches \u2013 her eggs are in multiple baskets to use Love Island speak. <\/p>\n
At 5\u201910\u00a0Giovanni, who previously won with Rose Ayling-Ellis could be a good choice. We could also see her with a 6\u2032 Neil Jones. <\/p>\n
Nikita Kanda\u2019s height is a somewhat mystery with it being deemed as everything from 5\u20194 to 5\u20198, if she\u2019s nearer the top end then she could also be a potential contender for the above dance suitors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a chance Zara could be with Graziano di Prima, but we have him in mind for a few other people too!<\/p>\n
He is one of a trio of dancers who are 5\u201911 alongside Vito Coppolo and Nikita Kuzmin.<\/p>\n
There are also three 5\u20196 female celebrities \u2013 Angela Rippon, Annabel Croft and Angela Scanlon. Any combination of these six would surely be an excellent pairing. The Strictly team can\u2019t go wrong really!<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington stands just below the 5\u20196 clan at 5\u20194 so could be tangoing with 5\u20198 Carlos Gu. It does take two after all.<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old would be in safe hands with Carlos, 39, who took Molly Rainford all the way to the final in last year\u2019s series. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As pretty tall people in the class \u2013 Adam, 34, who stands at 5\u201911 and 5\u20197 Luba, 33, could be a dancing match made in heaven.<\/p>\n
Having previously been partnered with sportsmen \u2013 Olympic rowing champion James Cracknell OBE and American football player Jason Bell \u2013 could an actor from Waterloo Road be the one to finally get her the coveted Glitterball?<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Okay, now this is where things get a little complicated. Three of the male celebrities reportedly stand at 5\u201910 \u2013 Nigel, 50, Krishnan, 53, and Layton Williams, 28 (more on him soon).<\/p>\n
Three of the female dancers are 5\u20196 \u2013 Lauren Oakley, 32, Nancy, 32, and Katya, 34, and so could be perfect for either Nigel or Krishnan. <\/p>\n
Now as Strictly doesn\u2019t do dance floor throuples this could mean one of them may not be partnered this year (or they could be with someone else on our list). Lauren is yet to have a celebrity partner on the show but impressed in the group dances last year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Layton allegedly <\/strong>asked bosses if he can become part of the fifth-same-sex coupling on the show.<\/p>\n A source said: \u2018This year everyone is hoping for a same-sex couple who can go the distance.<\/p>\n \u2018Layton is a phenomenal performer and the pros will probably queue up to work with him,\u2019 they added when speaking to\u00a0The Mirror.<\/p>\n Layton is taller than all the female celebrities taking part, so could have the tallest male professional \u2013 6\u20192 Kai, 27, as his partner.<\/p>\n The pair already looked like they were getting on very well at the recent Strictly rehearsals. <\/p>\n Johannes, 36 is our next tallest male professional dancer at an impressive 6\u2032, and could also be a tremendous match.<\/p>\n At 5\u20199 comedian Eddie, 40, could be leading 5\u20195 Karen, 41, around the ballroom. <\/p>\n He would be benefiting from many years of expertise as Karen has already had 11 celebrity partners. <\/p>\n One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 they\u2019d definitely have a laugh in rehearsals. <\/p>\n Michelle, 27, is also 5\u20195 and so she could work well with Paralympian Jody Cundy, who is 5\u20198.<\/p>\n The partnership would be extra special for Michelle who has previously not had a celebrity partner. She could showcase her choreography and teaching skills with pupil Jody, 44.<\/p>\n As the least tall male celebrity 5\u20197 Les is likely to be partnered with a smaller professional dancer.<\/p>\n Dianne Buswell, 34, who is 5\u20192, or reigning champion 5\u2032 Jowita Przystal, 28, could have the honour of guiding Les, 69, through his Strictly experience.<\/p>\n Coronation Street star Ellie is our smallest female celebrity at 5\u20191 and could be thrown around the dancefloor by 5\u20196.<\/p>\n Gorka was partnered with fellow soap actor Maisie Smith who is also 5\u20191 so this would make sense!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nEddie Kadi and Karen Hauer<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nJody Cundy and Michelle Tsiakkas <\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nLes Dennis and Dianne Buswell or Jowita Przystal<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nEllie Leach and Gorka Marquez<\/h2>\n
