Jamie Laing out injured. Do they have subs? I hope they do, although part of me would be quite happy to have a 3 person final! But really they better, as otherwise the best pro on the show and the BBC's current darling (Oti) will be facing a series on the sidelines!

If you mean behind Tess and Claudia next to the girl in the red dress... no.

Least star-powered celebs ever in Strictly? The sports guy from the BBC...Mike something is just overly crazed with excitement...Oti not competing would be really sad ☹️

I was glad Annika wasn't lumbered with Anton, she sounded loads posher than I remembered from treasure hunt, perhaps the helicopter's fault.

Yes,looks like there is no replacement for the unfortunate Jamie,unless they are frantically working on training someone up for the actual start of the competitive series in two weeks?

They don't start one to one training until Monday so there is still time.

If Oti doesn't get a replacement partner then I'm not sure I can be bothered watching at all - I like Alex Scott and Catherine Tyldsley and think Annika Rice will be a hoot, but can't say I'm bothered about the rest of the so-called "celebs"...
Edit: And as I was typing this post they have announced that Kelvin Fletcher is the replacement. Not convinced he'll be any good, but at least Oti has a partner!!!

Kelvin Fletcher who played Andy Sugden for 20 years in Emmerdale is Jamie's replacement. So they have got someone fairly well known and it gets Oti a partner.
The couples seem fairly well matched up, you can always think of alternatives but this year's match ups I'd regard positively.
Motsi apart from looking like a toilet roll doll in that dress came across well and obviously has the knowledge ans experience.

I’m pleased for Anton that he hasn’t been given a comedy partner this year. Interested to see how some of the partnerships will work out, overall they do appear to have been matched quite well. Will seems very sweet and I quite like Kelvin Fletcher so feeling a bit more hopeful about this year’s bunch.

A lot of people had Anton pegged to get Anneka or maybe Michelle but Emma is an interesting choice for him. Kelvin is probably more well known than some of the other "celebs" so is a good signing plus being an actor he may have done some dance training and will be able to take direction well.

Kelvin and Oti were my favourite tonight, such a fun routine! Wouldn’t it be great if he won considering he came in as the understudy?!

I've already decided I want Kelvin and Oti to win. He came out and and just went for it, was brilliant and it was so much fun. I can't believe he was a reserve - should have just be in it in the first place!
I did quite like Will and Janette too - very likeable indeed.

For this first episode, I thought the men were a little stronger and more entertaining than the women, but in some cases it was down to the dance they were given (very hard to shine with a Viennese Waltz as your first dance!) Kelvin, Karim and Dev all impressed. Michelle was a pleasant surprise. Love the way Giovanni choreographs to highlight his partner's strengths and give them confidence. Felt for Emma having Anton as her partner, he's one of the weakest choreographers. He makes it all about him in an annoying way (Why was she reading a magazine with him on the cover? Why do we care that he doesn't rate his previous partners? Why do the annoying costume reveal when you could see her costume underneath? Why all the chat about him being the king of Strictly?) Kevin didn't look like he'd tried very hard with Anneka, despite their non-eco friendly helicopter ride. The first couple of dances seemed a little harshly marked (I think Alex is going to be very good) and some others were a bit generous. But a fun show.

My theory is that Kelvin has dance experience. Possibly even ballroom. He was very good.
Perhaps they like a reserve with some experience so he/she can slot in more easily at the last minute.

He's been a full time cast member on Emmerdale since about 7 years old so i doubt he'd have had much chance to train as a ballroom dancer.....
