Strictly Come Dancing fans think they've worked out who Angela Rippon will be dancing with on this year's series.
The beloved TV presenter is heading to the BBC ballroom for the new series of the dancing show and, aged 78, is the oldest contestant to take part in Strictly's history.
It seems Strictly fanatics think they've already worked out which of the professional dancers she'll be taking to the floor with, despite the pairs not being announced yet.

They believe it's Neil Jones, who is expecting his first child with love Island star Chyna Mills, given the fact that Giovanni is injured and Anton is no longer a professional dancer.
Taking to social media to share their theory, one wrote: "Had Anton still been a pro, it’s 100 % certain Angela would have been his partner. Maybe Neil instead?"
Another said: "Well that’s Neil’s partner – or giovanni’s if he recovers."
A third agreed: "I think Angela and Neil will be partnered together."
A fourth added: "Angela will definitely be partnered with Neil."
Neil joined the Strictly family back in 2016, seven years ago, and finished in fifth place with footballer Alex Scott in 2019.

However, he and EastEnders star Nina Wadia were the first couple to get the boot in 2021.
And if eagle-eyed viewers are right, newsreader Angela would become his third celebrity dance partner.
Angela has admitted she's feeling scared about the show given her age but is also very excited to be part of the line-up.
Speaking ahead of the show, she said: "Having been a fan of Strictly since day one, and as a former presenter of Come Dancing, this will be quite an adventure for me.
"A scary one, considering I’m about to be 79. But I’m really looking forward to the challenge, and perhaps being able to learn to dance the Argentinian Tango!!"
It's not her first foray into dancing, because Angela performed a high-kicking dance routine duringan appearance on Morecambe and Wise's Christmas special back in 1976.
