I have read somewhere in another thread that Anton and Erin will be returning for the seventh series Does anybody know any other professional's returning for the new series?

No I don't, I am hoping Brian & Kristina also return.

No-one knows yet as apparently no-one has been asked - the Strictly production office is closed and re-opens around June time so contracts will be drawn up then (this is from Darren Bennett - he mentioned it at a dance weekend I was on in March)

No one knows until around June time.

Lucky you going to see Darren!

anton and erin - hope you're right !

Vincent has confirmed (on at least 2 occasions in last month) that he and Flavia will definitely be back for this year's Strictly.

I think that must be him just saying he will be doing it if asked since he won't actually have been offered a contract yet. I would say they are among the most likely to return though.

I have a really strong feeling that Erin won't be returning. I don't know why.

She will be if she's offered a contract; she and Anton have said they'd love to do the next series if they're both invited to.

Oh good. I really warmed to Erin in the last series.

I think Erin is a bit frosty myself.
Ian on the other hand - is adorable
I do hope Vincent and Flavia return also, they are fab to watch in the pro routines

I'd be quite happy if they all returned but maybe replace Hayley with Nicole as I didn't really warm to her and I like Nicole more.

I think it is more of the case of some pros saying they'd like to do SCD again, rather than they will be doing it again.

I can't say I'm that bothered about who does and doesn't come back, although I'd miss some more than others. I thought both Brian and Kristina brought a new sparkle to the show last time, so I would be up for a couple of other newbies.

I must admit I wasn't sure if Anton and Erin would be up for it again, so that's a nice surprise if they are and I do hope that this year they tell the pros who are not being asked back, rather that let them find out by chance like Nicole Cutler.

Camilla isnt coming back though is she?

No, not as a dancer although she did say when she made that announcement that she'd love to be a judge. Personally I can't see that happening but who knows?

If Camilla doesn't come back as a judge I'd like to see her at least given a seat in the audience that's within 'poking with a pointed stick' range of the four stooges

I like the stick idea. Can't see Camilla coming back as a judge though. It would be weird. Having to judge all her old colleagues

I asked Erin last night if they had heard anything yet and she said it would be a few months yet before they are told if they are returning or not.
