Cach is dancing with new pro dancer Maddie Ingoldsby this year – and some fans think that he wanted to be paired with someone else.
One wrote on Reddit: “I noticed Cach and newbie weren’t overly friendly. Sat apart on sofa. No arms round each other.”

Another added: “I got the impression that Cach wasn’t too impressed. He made comments about her being strict. Didn’t seem overly pleased in the clauditorium.”
A third said: “I think Cach is super nervous and a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing. It’s a very different world for him, constantly being asked to speak off the cuff. He’s being very careful with his words. He likes to think before he speaks but there’s no time to do that.
“I detected frosty vibes. Maybe he’s shy,” a fourth chimed in.
Elsewhere in the competition, Lacey Turner has been put with Vito Coppola, Dani Dyer is dancing with Nikita Kuzmin, Chris Appleton is with Amy Dowden, Delta Goodrem has been paired with Kai Widdrington, John Nellis and Katya Jones are dancing together, Tabby Stoecker is dancing with Mark Karmalita, and Melanie Walters is dancing with Aljaž Škorjanec.

Viewers hit out at the ‘car crash’ twist on the launch show – as the new pairings are finally revealed.
Usually, celebrities and professionals discover their partner ahead of the launch show, but everyone discovered their pairings this time during specially choreographed routines.
The celebrity line-up was split into groups of five and partnerships were confirmed on the dance floor.
