Strictly Come Dancing: Major battle is already taking between professional dancers

Strictly Come Dancing will see 15 exceptional and talented celebs take part in the iconic dance challenge. BBC bosses are yet to announce the pairs for this series, but if sources are to be believed - all the professional dancers have already picked their favourites.

Here’s what’s happening and who the pros want to pair up with in this series!

Strictly Come Dancing pros clash for Zara McDermott and Bobby Brazier

Each year before the pairings are announced, Strictly’s early training begins with group routines so bosses can test different pairings and spot any sparks of chemistry. The cast for this year’s Strictly met earlier this month for the group routines.

According to The Sun, after early sessions and routines, all the pros are now clashing to get Zara McDermott or Bobby Brazier as their partners. A source revealed:

Zara and Bobby are absolutely the favourites.

All the dancers want to be paired with them because they both have serious potential on the dance floor.

There’s a battle going on between the pros as they all try to convince bosses to get the best pairing.

They know their airtime is largely dependent on how talented their celebrity pairing is, so everything is to play for at this stage.

Zara McDermott is a former Love Island star who now presents documentaries for BBC Three. Bobby Brazier is a 20-year-old budding actor who has established his name as Freddie Slater on EastEnders. He’s also the son of the late Big Brother star Jade Goody.

Who else is in demand or taking the competition seriously?

Apart from Zara McDermott and Bobby Brazier, ex-Emmerdale star Adam Thomas is also a favourite. Meanwhile, Les Dennis - who is predicted to be the first one to get booted from the show - is also taking the competition too seriously.

The source added:

Les Dennis raised a few eyebrows. He won’t be the joke act at all. He’s serious.

And Angela Rippon surprised everyone with how swift she was across the dance floor.
