Strictly Come Dancing is back and fans of the sparkliest show on TV have already picked their finalists, with Ellie Goldstein up front.

It may still be weeks until the Strictly final but that hasn’t stopped viewers choosing who they think will be in with a chance of lifting the glitter ball trophy at Christmas.

In fact, the fans were tipping some couples for success before they’d even danced!

Strictly Come Dancing: Alivoix – La Voix and Aljaz – for the win?

The first couple to have wowed the viewers were Strictly  2025 drag queen La Voix, AKA Christopher Dennis, and his partner Aljaz Skorjanek.

When the pair met, La Voix was horrified. She claimed she’d asked not to be paired with Aljaz and she stomped off in disgust! But of course, she was only joking. Thank goodness! The couple have hit it off already and dubbed themselves Alivoix.

And the fans love them too, taking to social media to name Alivoix their winner.

“La Voix is already my winner!” said one fan, while another simply said: “La Voix must win.”

La Voix is already my winner! This pairing is really going to bring the fun this year and I can’t wait ❤️

Lewis Cope is in the running!

But Alivoix aren’t the only fan faves. Many viewers were thrilled to see Katya Jones paired with Emmerdale star Lewis Cope. Lewis is already an accomplished dancer having performed in Billy Elliot in the West End when he was a child – which has led to some early accusations of a Strictly fix.

Many viewers are chuffed that Lewis’s experience could mean Katya stands a chance of winning.

Katya is getting a chance at winning this year #strictly

One fan predicted the pair dancing the jive in the first week – just as Katya did when she won with Joe McFadden – means success!

It’s a bit tenuous, but we’ll take it!

Success for Dani Dyer in Strictly Come Dancing?

Meanwhile Dani Dyer – paired with Nikita Kuzmin – is being tipped to make it to the final, too. One viewer claimed she could be a ‘wildcard’.

“Nikita and Dani just make sense,” said another viewer.

Could Ellie win Strictly Come Dancing with Vito?

But it’s model Ellie Goldstein who’s really won the viewers’ hearts. Her pairing with Vito Coppola has thrilled fans. One fan claimed Ellie could shock a lot of people.
