Walking the red carpet at this weekend's Bafta Television Awards, the 48-year-old dancer, who has been a part of Strictly since its inception in 2004, told RadioTimes.com: "My favourite bit still is the launch show and to see who we get as a partner... I always get these wonderful ladies, Judy [Murray] and Jerry Hall. Tremendous."

When it comes to the celebrities poised to take to the dance floor this year, Du Beke hasn't a clue and doesn't have anyone on his wish list. So it made sense for us to suggest a few famous faces who will presumably have some leisure time on their hands.

Jeremy Clarkson, Dermot O'Leary or Ed Miliband?

"All of them!" replied Du Beke.
