I hope it's Brendan.

Leaving aside some of the odd press reporting, we knew that Camilla was not taking part this year, and that Hayley Holt was not returning. So two new females came in. Then we lost Karen. So yes, the BBC now need an additional female pro.

I looked at Matthew Cutlers web page yesterday

I was gutted when there was no mention of him returning yet

Matthew's site is not kept up to date so don't pay any attention to that........he did say at a demo a few weeks ago that he was returning to SCD so unless the BBC have pulled the plug on him or one of the other male pros ( who have said they are returning) we are still a female short.

I suppose no one is 100% sure unless they have actually signed the contract......

The news section on Matthew's website is more than a year out of date, so I wouldn't be too concerned if he doesn't mention on there.

Mr Cutler - if you are reading this please keep your website up to date for us

DS FMs who were lucky enough to have recently attended some of the Cutlers' demo shows were told that he was coming back and he also mentioned it in a radio interview a few weeks back.

Besides according to polls, he is the most popular pro so I'd be surprised if the BBC decide to let him go.

Whoop Whoop thanks girls you have just made my day.

Mr Cutler back absolute bliss xxx

sorry Brendan's confirmed on his website he's doing this series

Not necessarily though. In DWTS, they don't have an equal number of male and female pros and it doesn't seem to matter - although they don't do as many pro dances as the Strictly pros.

Don't know if this has been posted here yet, but this info from Kristina's website:

I am glad about that......I was worried that all the hoo-har over John Sergeant might have put her off or put the BBC off having her back......

Same with Ian, he has said that he would come back, but don't know whether anything has been signed yet...

I was thinking, I wonder if Nicole Cutler will be back this year. Hmmm.

I'd love that, That would be so much better than another new professional.
There is still space left for one more.
But its not likely to happen after all the trouble with the papers last year but then again there has been a lot of surprises this year.

hasn't brendan agent went burst? maybe that's why brendan has or hasn't signed up


i just need my boy vincent and flavia to be there and i'm happy

They are going to have to be quick because training begins next week

Who knows they may be down on their knees begging Camilla to return- they haven't got much time to find another female pro

That must mean we find out soon. It usually gets leaked, doesn't it?

It is generally about this time- so if training starts next week- we could find out next week

You'd have thought they could have sorted it out by now, they've known for months that Camilla didn't want to return.

Unfortunately the current PTB don't seem to have much in the way of common sense

What is the length of their attention span?

BTW, what is the basis for the news that James will be back?

I have a very good source re James

Attention span - that of a gnat

Please not to insult gnats by comparing them with the BBC.

Happy to hear that Brendan is back I'd miss him if he wasn't .

Sad to see Karen going.

As much as he gets on my nerves big time, I am glad Brendan will be back.

we do need a couple of bad boys in strictly who are james and brendan
