"Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan has suggested that Russell Grant could be a dark horse this year. Jordan has been paired with Alex Jones and claimed that their rivals include &amp;quot;Lulu, Chelsee, Holly, Harry, Robbie [and] Jason&amp;quot;. However, he also claimed that viewers should not discount Russell before they have seen him perform. &amp;quot;Russell is going to be brilliant,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;He will be fantastic, because he can move as well, so he&amp;#039;s not going to be like a John Sergeant thing - just stomp around the floor. He&amp;#039;s good, so I think it&amp;#039;s going to be a great year.&amp;quot;  Meanwhile, Grant admitted that he does not want to be viewed as a comedy act and confirmed that he is taking the show seriously, saying: &amp;quot;I was supposed to go out to America to do my own television series in Hollywood and I cancelled it to do Strictly.&amp;quot; Elsewhere, Jones and fellow hopeful Dan Lobb suggested that Lulu could be one to watch. &amp;quot;The one person that I&amp;#039;ve just loved spying on when we&amp;#039;ve been training is Lulu,&amp;quot; Lobb said. &amp;quot;I just love her - she&amp;#039;s so sassy and sexy and cool and I love the way she moves. And she&amp;#039;s a bundle of energy as well.&amp;quot; Jones added: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s amazing. And she&amp;#039;s a national treasure before we even start!&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Strictly Come Dancing poll: Who is your favourite celebrity on the lineup? &amp;gt; Strictly Come Dancing 2011: The lineup in pictures &amp;gt; Read more Strictly Come Dancing coverage "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
