So at the beginning of summer (June the 1st), we knew who was out and who was in regarding the pro line-up - fast forward to the beginning of the autumn, and we're none the wiser!

Haha yes!

Aliona could at least send her well wishes to Natalie!

Maybe she has, in private! Not everything is done via twitter these days, people still do text

Flavia has tweeted pics of Louis saying something like "here we go again"

Perhaps Aliona is back with Harry for a former winners dance??

No, she's definitely back as a pro

Shame Flavia isn't back as a pro too. And Vincent. And obviously Erin.

I don't like it when they leave as you can see...:rolleyes:

I still pine over Andrew Cuerden and he only did one series lol

Only Flavia and Louis have been mentioned in the press release about dancing on the launch so I think we can rule out anyone else being on too or they would have also been named.

Delete.

Aliona's tweeted she's dancing with Brendan, so I think that must mean Natalie's not in the series.

I really won't be happy if Aliona gets another contender. I.E on paper ashley or Ben. Really not a fan of her choreography

jacksinclairx · 02/09/13 - 07:12

Aliona has also tweeted she is wondering who she will be paired with and officially announced she is back as a competing pro.. Poor Nat she's my favourite pro

Gutted for Natalie

:(

Aliona for Tony please, if she gets another contender after slipping in through the back door due to Natalie's injury, many people won't be happy!

According to an article in The Sun, Natalie has fractured her left foot.

Let's wait for an official confirmation, however. Cannot always believe what you read.

Yep Natalie is out, statements from her and Strictly in the paper

Aliona is definitely in this year's series. Whether or not it's to replace Natalie remains to be revealed..

Thank you for the info, I have just spotted you, hello and welcome.

I agree. My least favourite pro of all time. No wonder Brendan tweeted that he was gutted!:(

SaraV1308 · 02/09/13 - 12:34

Urrrrgh

Hate the fact that my remaining favourite pro is now out.

Also hate the platitudes about the line up being stellar. Are they having a joke?

Aliona Vilani is back on Strictly Come Dancing 2013 after Natalie Lowe was forced to withdraw.

Natalie fractured her foot in training for the series, which launches this Saturday night on BBC One.

Bosses have brought Aliona back on to the show after originally axing her earlier this year.

“Not being able to compete with a celebrity partner is so hard,” Natalie told The Sun newspaper today. “But this series is going to blow everyone away and I cannot wait to get my feet back on the dance floor.”

A spokesperson for the BBC said that Natalie would return to the series as soon as she was well, stating: “She shall very much remain part of the Strictly family and we will welcome her back into the dance troupe as soon as she is fit to do so.”
